What we've been up to...

Whew!  The last couple of weekends have been a bit crazy.  We did two shows over the Labor Day weekend.  Saturday & Sunday we did a small, but very nice, art show in Port Austin, MI, called Art in the Park, sponsored by the Thumb Arts Guild.  We didn't know what to expect from this hidden gem of a show, and honestly, it was very good!  Even though it's a small show there was a high-quality variety of artwork available, such as jewelry (of course), pottery, photography,  paintings, wood, and more.  To top off the weekend, Carl won a First Place Blue Ribbon award for his Moonstone, Coral, and Pearl necklace! He was not only surprised, but very honored to accept the award.  With excellent sales and perfect weather both Saturday and Sunday, what more could you ask?

On Labor Day we did a one-day show in Franklin, MI.  This was our second year doing this delightful show.  The attendance was even better than last year, and we were very fortunate the rain held off until the end of the day.  We had just finished packing the van when the rain let loose.  All in all, we had an excellent 3 days.  Lots of work but well worth the effort.

This past weekend we had another successful event at Art & Apples in Rochester, MI.  Last year was the first year they added Friday evening to the schedule, so the show now runs Friday through Sunday.  Once again the weather was absolutely beautiful all weekend.  Attendance at the show was phenomenal, with estimates of 125,000 patrons.

With all that said, I must say that one of our favorite things about doing art shows is meeting our customers.  It's really a pleasure to connect with so many new acquaintances every weekend.  We're looking forward to this weekend at the Lac Ste. Claire Fine Art Fair, located in Veterans Memorial Park at Jefferson & Masonic in St. Clair Shores, MI.  Show hours are 10 am - 5 pm both days.
