Well it is that time of the year – all the excitement associated with the grand Grove Park Conference. It has been a while since I was able to attend and I have to admit, I do miss it. I continue to run Trimbelle River Studio, but have turned the old office building I own in Ellsworth into a new little storefront that offers a combination of fun, unique items in addition to my line of items representing the vintage world of stenciling from the Arts & Crafts Movement. The new storefront is called Trimbelle River Trading and I will post more on it shortly…
So to all my vendor family and friend who are attending the fabulous GPI conference right now, best wishes to all of you! To my vendor friends – may you find many delightful new customers and enjoy socializing with the old! And to those of you newbies at the conference – may you not become too much like ‘deer in the headlights’ with the overwhelming sights to behold, between the antique show and the amazing contemporary exhibitors, it can be mind boggling. My advice is to just enjoy it and plan to come back again…and again…
Sorry I can not be with all of you this year, guess I will just have to be there in spirit (perhaps a bit literally as I raise a glass of wine to you as well!)
