It is the weekend of the final holiday arts and crafts/gift show of the 2025 season!
My wife in our booth.
Writing some of this "live" from the event, but thankfully things are too busy to have time for much more than an occasional photo.
So I expect most of this will written at home, after a long day's work!
Detail of show display.
The event venue was quite busy, almost from the very beginning, in spite of the fact that it is one of those events where general admission is $5.00... for people to come in and spend more money.
With the economy a bit shaky, it remains to be seen whether sales will reach the same levels as in years past.
We won't really know until after the doors close tomorrow at 3:00.
Thank You!

Because I am trying to make some semblance of income — a part time living, even — I now add this footer to all my posts, in the hope that someone, somewhere, might decide to take a further look at my work, and perhaps consider supporting independent art.
Thank you, in advance, for your consideration and support!
