Tomales Barn Dance: II

I've gushed about this before, but I'm going to do it again.  The Tomales Town Hall Barn Dance rolled around this weekend and it was so awesome.  Homemade lemonade, square dancing with a caller, daffodils on every table and friends/neighbors everywhere you turned.  They have a graphic artist in town that creates all of their posters and media and here is a sample of her work.

The dance committee spent hours cutting colored paper this week and hung the paper chains up and down the dance hall ceiling, along with white twinkly lights.

Here is a closer look at the paper chains.  What a clever way to decorate on a budget.

To help warm up the space, the committee decided to hang their great-grandmother's quilts on the walls (using a clothesline and clothes pins).  Genius.

These quilts were little works of art and made so very long ago and, obviously, with so much love.

The amazing woman responsible for most of the work done was Anna Erickson.  While we were making beer on Monday, she got a call that they needed decorations for the dance on Saturday.  She calmly said that she would think of something.  Well, she did and it was absolutely beautiful.
