Another Step

     It seems that every day it's some new idea or inspiration for me.  Today we set up a Meet Up group for our vendors and customers called Midlands Art and Craft Enthusiasts.   I'm always looking for new ways to reach out and let the public know we're here.  As a small business with a limited budget we need to use whatever we can to help us grow and to help our vendors succeed.  I'm doing my best to make sure that the community is aware of our business and what we do here.  But sometimes I think I could use a clone or two to help me out.  That reminded me of the Michael Keaton movie Multiplicity where one personality trait was prominent in each of the clones.

Well, maybe cloning isn't such a good idea.
     Anyway, that reminded me of my Dad who used to define himself as a "Jack of all trades - master of none."  I think most of us crafters feel the same way about ourselves.  At least I think we all like to try new things and explore new craft options and just think outside of the box in general.  I wish there was a better title for those of us who tinker at a lot of crafts ...someday I may invent one.
    But today we're looking at the artists that are represented in the store.  As I look around there is such a diversity in both medium and style.  We are so lucky to have so many talented people here.

Item of the Day

Today's item hangs on the wall direct across from where I sit and work on the computer and make sales, so I am fortunate to have it in clear view, and I love looking at it.

This exciting and vibrant painting by Cheryl Reynolds is done in watercolor and pastels.  It is beautifully framed under glass and sells for $175.   You can learn more about Cheryl and her work at her website Visionary Art by Cheryl Reynolds.
