Find Out Who You Are and Do It On Purpose

2 Comments

Here on Channelling Dolly you probably already know that we love a good Dolly quote. Her wit is admired so much that every Monday is dedicated to the words of the Queen of Country. One quote that always rings true is “Find out who you are, and do it on purpose”.  This week our featured artist has created a work of art with just that saying. 

Find Out Who You Are and Do It On Purpose

The Dolly Parton Art Print with Quote comes to us from Hank at anINSTITUTE via Etsy.  This handmade work is available to ship within the United States. 

For more information please check out anINSTITUTE. In addition to the Dolly Parton print, the shop offers prints from the likes of Prince, the Storm Troopers, Audrey Hepburn and many more.  Since Christmas is just around the corner with those options you are sure to find a print for those on your list!

I Will Always Love...

Chihuly Garden and Glass

Leave a comment

Just steps away from the Seattle Space Needle lies the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum.  The space includes an indoor gallery, outdoor garden and the Glasshouse.  Many people have been exposed to Chihuly’s work by seeing his ceiling installation of over 2000 glass flowers in the lobby of the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The Bellagio installation is beautiful, but to see an entire gallery of Chihuly is worth taking a trip to Seattle.

National Epilepsy Awareness Month

42 Comments

Readers of Channelling Dolly know that I love to keep things light and happy here. Sometimes though we have to deal with difficult subjects. With November being National Epilepsy Awareness Month I wanted to spread some info about a subject that is near and dear to my heart. 

First some facts:

Did you know that epilepsy claims more lives every year in the United States than breast cancer? 

1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime. 

Over 3 million people in America and over 65 million worldwide have epilepsy. 1/3 of those people have uncontrollable seizures because none of the available treatments work for them. Continue reading National Epilepsy Awareness Month →

If you follow Channelling Dolly on social media, then you already know what happened last week. If not, why aren’t you following Channelling Dolly on social media? Just kidding! But if you are so inclined just click over to your right here. —->

I am so late on posting this here. Before Halloween, the Dolly Parton Twitter page requested photos of people dressed like Dolly.  I had my photos handy as I had just completed this post about dressing like Dolly for Halloween! I sent my picture in with high hopes, yet my feet firmly planted on the ground that it would be me chosen. However, firmly planted on the ground my feet were not when I saw this on Facebook: 

Dolly

 

In fact, I jumped and jumped and jumped from excitement! My photo was one of the ones chosen to be featured on the Facebook page of Dolly!!! I still can not believe it! That made my Halloween. Heck, it made my month and in fact, is seeping into my November as well! 

I had to share my exciting Dolly news on here with you all. What celebrity would make you excited for an encounter?

Fun Friday with the Founder of Sprinkles

Leave a comment

To say that I have an obsession with Sprinkles cupcakes is an understatement. I know exactly which days to go for my favorite flavors, as the menu changes daily. When in a new city if there is a Sprinkles I make a pilgrimage there to enhance my trip with their yummy goodness. You all get the point! When I read online that Sprinkles founder Candace Nelson was going to be at our local location I had to go and meet her to say thank you!

Candace was in Houston to sign copies of The Sprinkles Baking Book.  The book features some of the regular menu items as well as seasonal cupcakes, cookies, cakes, pies and more. My personal favorite orange cranberry cupcake is included as well and will now be part of my Thanksgiving baking!  Continue reading Fun Friday with the Founder of Sprinkles →
