This post is the beginning of a week of Fall photos. Last Wednesday’s photos were taken before the color peaked. Some of today’s photos will be an updated version of last week’s. (Hi, Leaf-Peeper from Kentucky!) P.S. The Senior League Holiday Bazaar was well attended and very enjoyable. Here are 3 photos of it.( Thanks […]
Three Rivers Memorial Building Show Today
Holiday Bazaar
Not to be confused with “bizarre”. This lovely poster says it all. Hope to see you there at my next event! Okay, not “mine”, but you know what I mean, right?
Show Summary
In the interest of following up on Friday’s post, here is the summary of the weekend show in 8 points. 1. My booth looked great. 2. My booth neighbors were delightful, as were the show organizers and all the visitors too! 3. I saw many old friends and made some new ones. 4. This wasn’t […]
Five Items On A California Artist’s Brain
Thank a Veteran today. (Thank you Bob J. and Happy Birthday, I can’t believe you will be 80!) Thank you, Laurie, for pointing out the booboo in the link under See My Work. Now, if you click on Exeter Murals, it takes you to a YouTube video about Exeter, including a talking chin. (weird view […]
No Shopping Gene
I get to participate in a cross-cultural experience on Friday and Saturday. No, I’m not going to a Hmong festival or a quinceanera.

Others say to just be conversational and make friends, and the sales will come. Now that sounds far more natural. Guess I’ll just do what comes naturally to me – […]
