One of the things I enjoy most about summer is getting out on the road (see details below) and having face-to-face conversations with customers and new customers.

I so appreciate the loyal followers who have supported me over the years, and it is always fun to visit with them and share new pieces.

It’s also very exciting to meet people who are not already familiar with my work. At the recent show in Belfast, I met someone interested

in a custom design, and we are already corresponding about what she is looking for. It’s a great way to start off the relationship with a custom-design client.

This year, I freshened up my booth, and I’m delighted with the way it turned out. We can all use a new perspective from time to time, right?

All that said, as you are out and about this summer, I hope you’ll drop by to see me on the road or come by the shop. Nothing beats personal interaction!

And, of course, you can always reach me by email or phone.
