My Lampshade Lady Books Have Arrived

My author copies of The Lampshade Lady arrived on Friday. A milestone for sure. I've been putting in long days to try to stay ahead of the fray. Local press, radio interviews, advertising, book launch, it's been fun. It feels like the oddest time ever. I think the book is beautiful, but have no idea how it will sell or all that. Buying books is one of my most cherished things besides buying pretty fabrics and lamps. I think of all the spontaneous books purchases I have made over the years. Like the attractive and creative, The Alabama Chanin Stitch Book
or the beautiful pink and black flocked cover of Tricia Guilds Pattern Book,
or the colorful design books of Susan Sargent,
or the design books of Jane Davies.

Speaking of Jane Davies, we are doing a book signing and Demo at The Northshire Book Store on August 27th at 7pm. (oh I wished I hadn't skipped out on that public speaking class in college...) Hope you all will come. I'll mention it again as it gets closer.

It's Sunday, Yay. My day to see how many errands I can cram into one day. Laundry, just made a peach tart, off to the farmers market, weed garden, a baby shower and then another party. phew, might be easier making lampshades. But always good to have a day away from the shop. That's the best way to love being there!!!!
