Hello,
Well if I felt like I'd run a marathon on Friday and Saturday...(thankfully Sunday was truly a day of rest) then Monday was an absolute roller-coaster! Over a month and a half ago we had taken samples of my work to be juried at a couple of local shops - right on the main street in Coeur d' Alene. Both said they liked what they saw...however...we were still tied up with the end of summer Farmers Markets, Blue Flag, getting our website built and everything photographed for it and then the Christmas Market...so it wasn't until Monday that all of this came back around...I had been planning to clean house and decorate for Christmas...but...
A call from Mark led to a quick trip down to the gallery to look over the proposed display space...then back home for a discussion and a quick decision to take all our merchandise, which was still packed from Saturday's Christmas sale, down to Northwest Artists Cooperative Gallery on Sherman Avenue that afternoon. Friday is Art Walk all through downtown and we wanted to be part of it! But we needed lunch so we detoured to Subway for that and then proceeded to unload and set up all of our 'stuff' yet again! We are getting pretty good - and much faster - at doing this now :) Here is a quick look...

The sun was shining very brightly today...it was so beautiful...then today's mail brought our first check from Blue Flag Studio! Whoopee! Thank you Kristie and Terri - Love you both! Couldn't have been a better compliment to the sun outside. But I am still on the roller coaster today...what I thought was going to be a slow down this week has just continued to build up steam. Friday is Art Walk from 5-8 pm http://www.artsincda.org/ArtWalk.html and Saturday I will be with a fellow artist down at the Jacklin Center for the Arts in Post Falls from 10-2. Check it out at: http://thejacklincenter.org/
Until then I need to finish a handbag for Sharon in California, felted fingerless gloves for Antigone, earrings for Bonnie, and a scarf for Gail...and maybe more things for myself for Saturday at Jacklin...noooooo problem....guess the cleaning and tree decorating can wait! I hope!!!
Take care all,
Janet
