We have been busy in the development department this past winter, and here is a result that I am very excited about.  I hammered out this great new toggle which adds a new dimension to our work.  This style of Lariat will be available in sterling ball chain as shown or in a delicate open loop chain.  I've got more surprises in store!

 

New work coming soon!

 

The Glen Helen Nature Arts Show was very eye opening! Thank you to everybody who came by, we had a great time meeting all of you! How had we never been to

Yellow Springs before?! 

 

Jurying for this little show was taking a risk for us as we had no idea of what to expect, and the risk paid off in the sense of community we felt as soon as we got there. 

 

 

It was just as cute as an awesome retro button! Eric you have truly done something great by saving this roadside institution. Cozy!

 

Word on the street  is that another institution is in need of saving: Antioch College.  

 

 

We had a nice hike around the Glen on Sunday morning, even though I was remembering the Lemon Ginger Martinis at the Sunrise Cafe the night before.  The deeelicious egg sammich I had after the hike more than made up for it. Ray says his omelet was "really good."

 

Ok we have tons to get done before we head into the holiday shows! More crystals more jewelry, tweak the booth, make travel plans and hit the road. Here's a work in progress:

 

Gorgeous weather and a bigger advertising budget brought the folks out to the Ky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen Fall Fair.  The days were sunny and bright, making the most of our crystal colors.  Putt putt putt  POW went the corn mill. Steve Watson Loooooved it.  John from johnnysrocks.com kept it lively with booth banter.  Larry Watson and friend Mary joined us to dine at what I guess was homestyle traditional buffet, I enjoyed their company a bit more than the fried fried and fried food.  No apple in the apple fritter was disappointing. Note to self: skip Cedar Village Boofay next time.  Drive to Richmond to get an effing drink, it will be worth it.  Highlight: Brammer Gap Soap Kettle's Sudsy Pup bar- my pup Luck is stinky no more!  Thanks Marti!

 

 

Can't resist posting a pic of the dancers who graced the Pyramid Hill Art Fair. Ok and our kids too. Thanks to all who came out for a day at the Fair. Look out Louisville! St James or bust!
