THE GLASS SHOW AND MOSTLY PICS

The glass exhibit is over and the kids are heading back to Tennessee. We are left with good memories, a new lamp and I have a wall-mounted glass bird. Black with beautiful sunflower yellow speckles and streaks down his back.

Over the weekend we held the show, went to dinner, cleaned the back yard and wore ourselves out. Koda, Stacey Adam's lovely Aussie-with-a-tail visited as well, altho he went for a walk with Conley he did not meet the Gang of Four head on, but spent the afternoon in the yard while Stacey, Christopher and John cleaned the yard up and I cooked stuffed Manicotti.

These are paperweights done by Matt Salley, the other half of Marble City Glassworks. He does these and Christiopher does the birds, and both of them do other items together.

his girl, Stacey and his Dad, John. It looks fabulous, the yard.All in all it was a great weekend, and I think they sold a lot and did well. I also got to see my daughter (Stacey) andher husband John Arguello, and meet their neighbor, Bonnie. My sister-in-law drove in to see the exhibit and we all went to dinner.
Last night we said goodbye to the kids and I wish Stacey A and Christopher and Koda a speed and safe trip.
