Project Playhouse - Home Aid Atlanta

**Nancy Wallace d*@mac.com**

We have a garden retail shop and landscape design business
in Duluth, Georgia.  Last fall we participated in Home Aid Atlanta
Project Playhouse at the Mall of Georgia.  Five local builders
created, constructed, furnished, and landscaped "mini mansions" to
be auctioned at a Tent Party.  All proceeds went to Home Aid Atlanta
which provides housing to the temporarily homeless.  Last fall was
particularly meaningful to everyone involved, in view of the 
catastrophic
hurricane season. I was the landscape designer for the home by
Northstar - "Playtime in Pasadena," an American Arts & Crafts
style home.  Our playhouse auctioned for $18,000.  You can see
photos of "Playtime in Pasadena" at the following slide-show link
I recently created:

All five of the playhouse, during construction, can be viewed at:

I will also be participating in Project Playhouse 2006 with Northstar
Builders & Developers, one of my landscape design clients for whom
I design and oversee installations in various subdivisions, including
an Arts & Crafts Style subdivision in Braselton, Georgia.  (I grew up in
the Santa Cruz Mountains, and I have brought my tastes from the
Pacific Northwest with me to Georgia, where I have found a very
receptive audience.)

Please let me know nancy@grassrootsgirls.com if I can answer any
questions, or if you would like to share your comments.  My website
www.grassrootsgirls.com has additional information about our
business (in addition to the slide-show link, listed above).

Thank you for your interest.
