A Taste of Glynn: Platters that matter

If you want to dress up your table with something both good and beautiful, head over to the Silent Auction at A Taste of Glynn and bid on one-of-a-kind platters created exclusively for the event. This year, six area artists were invited to create a special design for a 12” square platter at color me happy pottery studio, located on Newcastle Street in downtown Brunswick’s historic business district. The platters are lovely, vibrant and colorful–just like the owners of the shop, Lois Henry and her daughter Meghan Davis.

The mother and daughter pair have been benefactors of A Taste of Glynn for the past three years. All proceeds from ticket sales, the wine raffle and the Silent Auction go to support the work of the Glynn Community Crisis Center at Amity House and Hope House, which aid victims of domestic violence. Although the Crisis Center assists people of both genders and all ages, the majority of their constituency is women and their children. This fact struck a chord with Lois and Meghan.

“Ninety percent of our customers are women, and we are a woman-owned business,” noted Lois Henry. “The Crisis Center empowers women to take control of their lives and move on in a positive direction. That is a perfect fit for us!”

Take a look at the powerful platters and get your bid in early at A Taste of Glynn. Don’t forget to pick up a program at the event, and look for a $10 no-expiration-date gift certificate from color me happy inside. Use it to create your own masterpiece. If you use your certificate within 2 weeks of A Taste of Glynn, color me happy will donate 20% of the remaining cost of the paint and firing to the Crisis Center. Check your calendar- that would be just in time to make something special for Easter or Passover!
