Sometimes a gray day unfolds to reveal sparkle and brilliance that lies just beneath the surface. Such was a day recently when I stepped through the door at Wendy Addison's Theatre of Dreams. I have traveled there many times before, but this time was especially unique. I was there to pick up her much anticipated book. The "hippie ghost town", as Rodger and I affectionately call Port Costa, was lively today. However, the peaceful atmosphere that I find so alluring is always present. Wendy's Theatre of Dreams is a place where my soul can rest and my spirit can be rejuvenated.
As Wendy turned the pages of her book, she revealed a very personal look into her own artistic journey of imagination, discovery and delight.
If you haven't seen this incredible book of sketches, I encourage you to seek it out as soon as possible. The book is a limited edition and each book is numbered. Don't miss out on this enchanting treasure. For more information, contact Wendy Addison through her blog at wendyaddison.blogspot.com/
Thank you Wendy, the book was definitely worth the wait!

Just one of the pages that await you in Wendy's book....
The book is filled with her sketches.
As we left Wendy's studio, we glanced into her printing press room....there on the floor was a ballerina fairy waving adieu....the magic continues....

Wow what a beautiful book!

Hi there,
I recently visited Wendy's studio and shop as well. I am still waiting for my book to arrive. Can't wait.
So glad to have found your blog and got to see some glimpses of the book.
I call Port Costa, The Town Time Forgot.
I loved it.
