It's been a wicked hectic fall. It's been pretty crazy trying to run a business and promote a book. Phew, it feels like there might possibly be a chance to take a breath.
I made the executive decision to take 3 days off last week. My arm/shoulder needed a break. My good friend, Dawn made the great suggestion to have a spa day. Yay, that was pretty decadent. My friends had generously given me a gift certificate for The Spa at The Equinox Hotel. So off we went.... an hour and a half massage, sitting by the pool in luxurious thick lined robes, lunch by to pool w/ pinot noir, a few trips to the hot tub outside, sunshine streaming in to give light to my book. Even got in a bunch of laps in the warmest pool ever! About 5pm we sauntered out to Dawn's car and headed back to reality. Yes, we deserved it! And yes it was a blast. Wish we'd brought a camera.... but on the other hand, just as well we didn't.
I'm just getting recharged to get out and promote my book again. If any of you guys have any great ideas.... Workshops for winter will be announced soon. I will most likely have one in Feb, March and April on Saturdays.
My shop hours are usually, Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and Saturday 10am-5pm. A call is always suggested if you are coming from a distance. It's only me and sometimes things come up, but I am almost always there...My shop is in our little village of Pawlet, not the retail mecca, but a great place for a working studio/retail combination.
We have a new business that has just opened 2 doors down from my shop, Sew Bead It. Bonnie Smith and family have moved her shop down into the village. I am thrilled to have another craftswomen in town. Welcome Bonnie!
Bonnie's got tons of beads and gives classes, too.
When the days start to get longer I get the urge to change up some of my lampshades at home. Just added a few great shades to my home... so easy to switch a few out and brighten up my living space. You would think I would have enough lamps and shades in my house.... no, never enough new ones. I love to change things around and make my house fell fresh again. It's fun to play house....
