... but the days are getting longer and the darkness doesn't come to the end of the day until almost 5:00. It feels nice to end my day at 5 in the shop and still have some daylight lingering about. I moved some of my bead things into the dining room in the house when we had all the snowy weather and now I can not seem to see how I did without this work station before. No more traipsing out to the studio in the cold or rain after way dark. I can plug in my iPad and watch old television shows and bead at the dining table. It's a good thing because not only do I make jewelry but I also can string up and prepare the many new beads arriving into the shop. This little work area helps me get the new treasures into the shop so much faster.
In other news, we are sometimes open on Wednesdays now so if you are heading into Port Townsend, give us a call to make sure we are in. Port Townsend is pretty sleepy this time of the year but you will still find lots of people downtown.
I will be in the shop this weekend and working on catching up on repair work. I am so grateful that people are patient with me as my time to get repairs done is short. It is marvelous though, to restore a treasured piece and get it back to someone to see their face light up with delight in being able to once again wear a favorite earring or heirloom piece of jewelry.
Now I do need to repair some of my own pieces and that is going to be happening soon. Very soon. See you soon too around the shop.
PS - I may not be teaching classes during the pandemic but I am still very happy to help you at the shop's counter. You'd be shocked at what I can teach or demo between customers!
As always, keep your mask on in the shop so this @#$%^& pandemic can get all the help it needs to go away. Heart. Heart. Lois
