Programming Note: If you are looking for something fun to do Monday night, check out HGTV National Open House and watch closely for the Minneapolis segment. Then, if you watch even more closely, you may see some of our daughter's artwork as the camera pans the walls of a loft. Freeze the frame, if you can, it is one of Marcy's 15 seconds of fame!
We're pumped!
The following email went out today from a very proud mother notifying interested parties of this signature television event:
This is to let you know that Marcy’s paintings will be on HGTV’s “National Open House” segment tomorrow night.
Here is how this all happened.
Marcy has her art shows from time to time…usually at Dunn Brothers coffee houses. A real estate agent and his wife buy a painting. The next day he calls Marcy to ask if he could use her paintings to spruce up a downtown Minneapolis loft he has on the market.
Marcy says, “sure.” He comes and gets a number of her paintings and hangs them in the loft. Unknown to the agent or to Marcy, the woman that owns the loft called HGTV to try and get on the “National Open House” segment and she’s successful.

The production people come and film the segment and then Marcy got the phone call to see if they could use her paintings on the show.She signed a release and the show will be on tomorrow night at 9:30 p.m. central time.
The show tomorrow night will feature homes in Bradenton, Minneapolis and Philadelphia. Obviously, they’re showing the homes so we don’t know how much of Marcy’s artwork will actually be seen but we’re very excited and are looking forward to the segment.
