Opening weekend...

I have to come to realize what an undertaking this is...I've had apathy from my audience..I have had complete amazement and excitement. I'm very certain my ladder to climb has many rungs...but it will be a long time before I stop. Peace and Love.

A Creative Opus...written without edit..simple and true

I am finished with what I began about a month and a half ago. Tomorrow is opening day of our store. What do I hope to accomplish and why did I even begin such a big undertaking?? Because it should be done. This is not just a craft supply/ hippie shop. I am attempting to make an artistic meeting place in rural PA. I want to give everyone a chance to express themselves. To meet and share ideas. Granted it is still a business at heart..I think I have stated on more than one occasion. "I am full of ideas not money" but the shop is truly what people make of it. I am living in the unknown but I have to believe that even if just for awhile some art or music is sold and people leave with a smile on their face then this time in my life has been completely worth it. To be quite honest this began when we came into a reasonable amount of money -not a fortune- but enough. Granted we could have gotten a big tv or some other unnecessary luxury that would sit in our home and make us falsely content with ourselves...however we took a chance and made something not just for us but for everyone willing to participate. So I hope anyone who reads this and is able stops tomorrow at 1106 Philadelphia Ave, Northern Cambria, PA... and says hello and joins me in the endless creative possibilities...Much Peace and Respect

Crunch Day!!!!

Well- I have one more day before the store opens. I know what I need to do and when I need to do it. One more table to set and my creative dinner will be ready. I hope to see you there. Also here is a link to wonderful charity. I am setting up a donation box in the store today!! Keep the arts alive for everyone!!!!! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=129394200425659&ref=mf
