GETTING CLOSER...

Oh my!  It gets more exciting every day that we get closer.  Although I have product in Lowell, starting at Creative Corner co-op is my catalyst that starts my motion forward.  It is the official start to taking my art more seriously. 

I have sent in my deposit for Creative Corner, in Holland, MI and set my start date as March 20.  I have purchased an adorable tea cart to display my work and I am working out how best to display the wind chimes.

I still have product at Glass House Designs in Lowell that is strictly commission, based on sales.  The co-op has a monthly fee along with a small commission.  A girl needs to start building where opportunities are and see where it takes her.  I am excited about working on some new product and have a few ideas I really want to flush out the design on.  The FUN part!!! =-)

I stopped in Lowell at Glass House Designs for more materials and to visit with Susan, the owner, last week.  We had a great talk and I shared with her my plans to do more glass and add my display in Holland.  She shared her insight on window displays as a great draw to bring people into a shop, but not for sales.  Interesting.  I would not have thought that.  If you think about your purchases, do you purchase from a window display?  I can’t say I have.

I have been working in my glass studio getting the wind chimes fired and parts ready for assembly.  Next up is curved plates and bowls.

       

Need to stay focused to meet the setup date of March 20… Did I mention that I still need to work on our consulting company taxes …. oh my!  No one said it would be easy…. ;-)
