top:2px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;”>The Galerie Bianca Landgraaf sent me a wonderful invitation in the mail! Unfortunately for you, I was a little late opening the letter that sat on my desk for a week amid a pile of other “to do’s”! Better late than never, I thought I’d write a quick blog encouraging A’dam-based Diva Readers to drop what they’re doing this weekend and dash to The Affordable Art Fair in Amsterdam. The fair started on Oct 30 and there is only 1 day left to get to the fair – the last day of the fair is tomorrow Nov 2, 2008!

AD,
Thanks for posting this. I’m going art shopping today. Excellent tip, as always. I love the Last Minute Divas…. I’m not a planner so this works perfectly for me. Never feel badly about “better late than never” – there are lots of us procrastinators uot there who appreciate last minute tips.
