Prepping for Harvest Fest

So, we will be off to Brighton Farmer’s Market Harvest Fest in T-7 hours … We put in some work, but we’re as ready as we’re gonna be!  All but Chloe, that is … who managed to catch a few fading Summer-rays in the pool this week!  (She does love her float!) PenDots and glass …

Not much news …

OK – a little bit of news … We’re prepping for (hopefully) the two shows we do each year (one confirmed, one pending) … I know we will be at Brighton Harvest Fest on 9/23 … come and say ‘Hi’, if you get the chance … So, I’m prepping inventory, boxing jewelry, etc.  And, DH …

Studio update 2/24

Moving right along …

Got through our tax session (Thanks Jim!) and a fun-filled E.R. weekend; Despite meeting one of the most unpleasant airline employees ever (service desk), we now have extended, four-legged family in NH, CO, NJ, PA and FL.  The pups did great! Which brings us to Thursday.  I’m almost over this cruddy virus.  I’m playing in …

Grand Opening, a Give-Away … and more!

So, the official grand-opening is this Saturday 4/9/16.  But wait, there is more … we will have a ribbon-cutting/media-covered/grand-opening again on 4/16/16 – with door prizes.  Here are my contributions: To sum up (champagne and cupcakes on both days): “ZEN ARTISAN BOUTIQUE – Grand Opening 4/9/16 – come and see! 108 E Grand River, Howell MI This …
