Artisan Guild Tour

The Thanksgiving Tour is over for another year.  My sales this year were the best I've ever done for this tour, so in my opinion the economy is looking up.  I decided to post a few pictures of the shop taken on Friday morning before the sale.  I've posted pictures of my studio before, but never the shop.  This is mainly because its been a mess for the past few years.  It took weeks to clean it up and get ready for the tour, but was definitely worth it.  This picture came out a little blurry, but note my toy sewing machine collection on the top shelf.  The pottery in the middle of the shelf is Dan's and the baskets on the shelf and table are by Deb Finnegan.
 The bird carvings and decoys pictured below are by David Farlow.  Deb, David and I have shared a space for the show for the past 4 years.

They were also very pleased with their sales.

This is a view of the other side of the shop and that's the door to my studio in the center.  

And this is "behind the counter" with a view of the Passport Prizes. (Not the quilts hanging on the wall, they are mine).  The prizes were donated and represent all of the artists participating in the Tour this year.  We will have a drawing in the next few days to find the winners.

I am now trying to get back into a regular routine.  I have a number of Christmas presents to make for family and now that the shop is cleaned up, its time to start cleaning my house!
