Storekeeping



I'm painting a room in my store a dark, charcoal gray, so I've moved furniture around.  The sun comes in at a low angle lighting new corners.  Many spider webs come to light.   Outside it's cold,  and very bright.

I do prefer January to August. It must be my Arctic Circle genetic pool.

I, too, prefer January to August. Winter is by far my favorite season...when else are the bare bones of the world's beauty so stark and intense??

I love the picture of the footprints on that red & white bridge - a great shot!

Kathryn said...

Great photos! I love charcoal grey walls, your textiles will look stunning on it. I see yellows and oranges ...

Hilary, yes, I'll be happy to put up some more shop pictures.

Joanne, I love January. It's very day-dreamy.

Peg, I turned around after I crossed the bridge. and liked how it looked, with the creek frozen over. I'm glad you like the picture of the moment.

Kathryn, I'm only a little afraid it might look like a head shop. Maybe if I don't have blacklights and sell bongs

As always, everything is gorgeous here! And I agree, your weavings and merchandise will look stunning against the grey walls! And, yes, more photos of your shop! Best....

I prefer January to August too. I'm wasted in a climate where I (almost) never get snow-light against grey skies. I've been reading your blog for quite a while. Seeing your photos is like looking into a lovely doll's house, the light and colors always give me a lift. Your work is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it!

Trapunto, I'm glad to know you're here.

Shipbldg: The bridge bounces a little and my footsteps are kind of loud. It definitely sets my mood
