Welcome to the bazaar! There are a few items remaining and if you're interested, send an email with your bid to bapatlabazaar@gmail.com Just about any reasonable bid accepted! We have raised over $650.00 at this point, so anything else is icing! Thanks to all of you.


Prints by my dad, Cantey DuBose

As long as I can remember, my dad has been drawing as an avocation. For the last 15 years, Daddy has taught pen and ink drawing to student at Furman University's Learning in Retirement program. He has also been commissioned to draw civic and private buildings, homes, and churches. For two years, he was commissioned to draw the homes in the Greenville Symphony Guild's Fall Tour of Homes. Recently, Daddy's been working on drawing portraits. I am happy to offer prints of several of his pen and ink drawings, two pen and inks with watercolor, and several sets of botanical print notecards.
