Mark invited me out for supper.... on his way home...from the Midwest Show... we had a long... therapy session... I shared with him... some of the... feedback... from the weekend... I feel... a 'Change'... coming on... I can't put my finger... on exactly... what I'll be doing... but... There's gonna be some... 'Changes'... and...all for the Good... Exciting.....!!! {no worries... it won't be... changing my Love... for this "Gnarliness"... it's on the business...end... and tweaking a few other areas... : ) } |

Hey Barb...fun post! You should not be shocked that you made it in the book...you are so book-worthy! Thought of you the other day as I was in Duluth and visited Sarah's booth in the antique mall...smiled as some of the beautiful stuff in there looked like it may have traveled from your place. I am going to try to make it to your beautiful shop in December! Take care.
