Well the director came by today with the last check from Christmas sales at the Art Gallery. For the month of November and December I made $1483 in sales after they took there commission. She said she sold all my mini birdhouses. So all in all I am quite happy. She also wanted to know if she could display my turnings for the year. I told her absolutely. I need to turn a bunch of bottle stoppers as she said she is down to one. I also need to take down a cheese platters, some potpourri pots, lidded vases, confetti lamps, and lidded boxes. Some were asking about craft shows. In the three I did I sold a total of $115 and my expenses for the booths was $80. So I probably won't do those again.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks everyone. Yes it does feel good. I have been playing with prices now for about 2 yrs to try and find a happy medium so things would sell. I think I just found it for our area at least.


Oh and by the way Ken. Just 347 more days. This years Christmas present is retirement.:D:D:p:p
