Show Time!
One of my goals for this year was to do at least one show "over the hill" and off the coast. It's easy to do an art show near where one lives--even though it still means schlepping your work and displays out of the house, but being farther away, particularly on the peninsula, means expanding your clientele to a broader range of people. And for me, most of the shows I've done in the past couple of years have been in my own studio/home. I was so thrilled all my displays, linens, textiles, jewelry, hats fit into my new car! When I bought the Mazda, I was under pressure to get rid of the Prius that had a major stressful issue, and I didn't think about carrying lots of long displays. I love driving this car and now it's even more perfect because everything fit. I was reminded of how Annette and others used to call my old Honda the "clown car" because I just kept unloading more and more out of it like it was bottomless. I felt like that again...
