a few bucks richer.....

....and a studio lighter in books, art and general art-related knick-knacks!

YAY!

had a super-duper time at the artist's garage sale this last saturday,

wheeling and dealing and getting rid of things that do not serve me any longer - passed on to those who need them. or merely want them. i came away making a new art buddy (amy duncan), buying and bartering for new art (sue robertson and melana bontrager and amy, again!), hanging with my not-so-new art buddies (mandy laughtland and mona smile-fairbanks), seeing a bunch more art buddies and making a few bucks in the process! can't argue with that combination.

the event was held at the almost-completed "schack art center" in downtown everett, wa (hoytt and wall streets) and is going to be the new hot spot for art in the northwest. new gallery space, exhibition space, artists lofts, classroom space and a glass workshop, this place will be rocking by the end of this year!

can't wait for this event to happen again next june (a good way to keep the studio clean?)....and there was a plus to this event that i could not have foretold: i was so busy i had little time to go around and peruse the wares of the other booth vendors.....just the ticket, though! i know i would have spent all the money i had just reeled in!!
