Ready For The Weekend And The Farmer's Markets!

The ladies have been hard at work all week and are almost ready for the weekend...only their weekends are when they work harder!
They learn so much from their customers. One interesting thing is the number of men interested in bracelets. So, Pam, the design boss, has been spending more time guessing at what men want to wear. Look forward to see many new bracelets and custom made beads and pendants coming soon. These are more time-consuming, as you must wait a drying time and then two firings in the kiln.
Miranda has been mixing her Aroma Therapy oil blends, while Pam and Susan seem to spend as much time shopping as they do working. Some day there will be time to rest...perhaps when it is too hot to be outdoors!

And It's Cold Again In Winter Garden At The Farmer's Market

I know, I know....a cold day in Florida, what's that? Do you actually have to wear socks? The ladies are setting up while I remain toasty warm in the local coffee shop. That is the deal, I drive the truck, carry the stuff and rough up the display, they do the fine points, like putting out the artwork without breaking anything...we came to that agreement when I once broke something worth more than the money we made in that day. 
Today looks like it is going to be a day that will bring out all of the folks that want a lot of sun and no sweating. It will be the kind of day that you are glad to stand in the light and out of the shade...which should be perfect for shopping at the market.
Me? I will be out testing bicycles on the West Orange Trail and leaving the delicate sculptures in the same fine condition they were in when they arrived here...
In you are in the area, please drop by and say hello!
