Art show count-down

First show of the season. On the fast track pulling stuff together for an art show on April 10th.  Trying out lots of new stuff: cute, cool, funky. The gang over here decided to take mostly moderately priced items to this show.  We're thinking if folks can spend just a few bucks on an item, they'll be inclined to buy.  Top end stuff will be going along, too.

Soon as the show is over, the retail area moves to the front porch.  So lucky to have a place right on Main Street.  The little a-frame sign can go out on the curb and voila! open for business. Will be showing items from other artisans and encouraging loitering so we can get to know one another.  Bring your coffee or tea and your lawn chair.

Junk

I detest junk mail for lots of reasons.  It wastes resources and my time. I need to dispose of it. Tossing recyclables into the garbage gives me great deals of angst, great deals of it. There's not much for recycling around here.  Basically, it's the dump or the garbage can.

Discovered in today's mail was a HUGE packet of those postcard size "ads" for stuff I'd 99.99% never even consider purchasing. I was momentarily peeved until I realized they'd make the perfect insert for a broach series I'm sewing up.  So there, junk mail, take that.

Junk to jewelry.

Studio Work

Soozi came over today and we hit the studio and made earrings and pins and pendants. Well, actually Soozi made the item and I just finished it off.  They are all lined up now waiting to be priced so they can go to a new home. We are all smiles thinking about that possibility.

Closing the studio for the rest of the evening and heading over to the school to attend the matinee performance of The Missoula Children's Theater's The Pied Piper.  A fund-raiser BBQ dinner will be served between the matinee and evening performance. Much looking forward to all of this.
