These cute little guys are the mascots for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. Funny thing…..I’ve watched a LOT of coverage and never seen them. At any rate, Miga is a snowboarding Orca whale-turned bear. Quatchi is a shy and gentle sasquatch. Sumi is an animal spirit who wears an orca whale hat, has the wings of a thunderbird and the legs of a black bear. You can log onto the official mascot site, and see them in all their glory, plus they have some snazzy activities for kids. Enjoy!
If you happen be in downtown Richmond this month, do stop by Quirk Gallery at 311 West Broad Street. Our paper is lovely in the holiday themed window display! The display was called “Grade School Crush”. I think, because Valentines Day was always best in elementary school. You went home with a shoe box full of valentines, and likely had a party to boot with pink cupcakes and conversation heart bingo. Ah! Those were the days!
School books were covered with our paper. There were cootie catchers all over the place. (Does anyone else remember those fateful, fun 2nd grade creations?)
