A Silent Art Auction Last Night

Invitations by Libby Lu Designs

My husband and I were honored to host an amazing silent auction in our home last night.  The main feature was the fabulous art work of Brian Crenshaw.  Brian is our youth minister at Fellowship Memphis.  He is also a very gifted artist.  Check out his blog (link above) for a description of his paintings.  You can commission him to paint one for your home.  The money last night was raised for a very good cause.  The Crenshaws are matched for adoption, with a precious girl in Ethiopia, named Naomi.  I am amazed at how generous people were last night!  We were blown away at how God moved!  Follow the Crenshaw Family right here.  Inspiring!

The Crenshaw Family- love them!!!!

Last Night...friends, wine & cheese and a lot of gorgeous art! 

The "Neighbors With Naomi" Program.  We sold little refrigerator magnets with her picture on them.  People purchased the magnets and agreed to pray for their adoption process.

My friend Karen Saenz donated these pretty monogrammed kitchen towels.

My friend Emily Ozier donated this wonderful painting for the auction.  I love her work!

John and I...we were so excited to host! 

A fun night!

There are so many wonderful and kind people in our lives.  They blessed us very much last night!  I truly am thankful for the Crenshaw family and their heart for adoption. 

AN AMAZING ARTIST AND A GREAT FRIEND

Erin and Brian Crenshaw are an AMAZING couple here in Memphis, TN.!  He is our YOUTH PASTOR at FELLOWSHIP MEMPHIS AND a very TALENTED artist.  He painted two FANTASTIC works for our son, Bo's, nursery two years ago. Today, I received these AWESOME pictures of some of his newest pieces.  

Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing an AWESOME piece of art, by BRIAN CRENSHAW  Here is the BEST part:  The Crenshaws are currently on a waiting list for adopting a child from Ethiopia. With your purchase of one of these GORGEOUS paintings, your dollars are helping them finance their adoption.  How SPECIAL is that?  

One of these paintings would make an INCREDIBLE focal point over a fireplace or, over a sofa.  Brian's paintings have great texture and vibrant colors.  An original piece of art is always a great conversation starter as you entertain and, as you enjoy living in your space.
