The crowds came but overall sales were down a considerable amount. I offered newly designed, carved bowls for everyday use in addition to my good old standbys...Halloween, but Halloween is what the people wanted - so next year it is what they will get! Months of cleaning, designing, sculpting, carving, and painting led to some pretty disappointing results, but I sure had fun anyways!
It is always good to see old friends and to make new ones. Now that I can be found on facebook, I had the opportunity to meet and greet some of my new followers. I was amazed to learn how many pieces individual collectors have of my work...the winner went to a gal who owns 16 of my gourds! And, she bought more! Let's see who can top that one!
In all seriousness, I greatly appreciate all the kind words, encouragement, compliments and patronage. Without you, all this hard work wouldn't be worth it. THANK YOU!
