Now the Good News. I had a pretty full house, though I can go back in my head over the people who didn't show up. Sunday afternoon must be a more full social time for everybody else but me. I know this wasn't a command performance so I am just sucking it up. But the people who came were enthused and got an introduction to what the hell I do and now I won't have to explain myself to anyone who was there. The place looked cool, and I think they all got it as soon as they walked in the door. I gave up the balloon plan and instead hung a 10' banner, actually a table runner that is too big for the table, outside the door. It was a lovely hot day and it flapped away for anyone who got as far as my little back driveway.
Now the Better News than the Good News. I sold 2 pieces. This was unexpected, but also gratifying that someone liked the work and actually heard it talkin'. But the wine and the Stella were good, and we had a couple of platters of cheeses and cookies so everybody left happy.
Tonight I am feeling a sense of great relief that it's over, so I put up a new blog header and am changing the colors because I'm tired of the old and want something new. And I am really looking forward to getting back in there tomorrow, sweeping out the crumbs, and getting down the work of making messes! I don't think I will be doing it again unless I get some better ideas on people moving.
I'm done, now my time is my own.

Congratulations, Sandy. So glad the day went well - and two pieces sold is great!
Can't wait to see what you're putting up on the new banner on the blog.
Relax tonight!
Catching up on your blob, Sandy - you didn't need the damn magician anyway -- you are good at creating your own magic. Congrats on selling 2 pieces!
Sorry to have missed your Open Studio, Sandy. My countdown on Christmas tasks and eye surgery got the best of me, and I had to stay focused. Sounds like a terrific afternoon, and big congrats on selling 2 pieces! Safe travels t5o the Big White North.
