All in all it’s been a good year. My last 4 shows have been excellent and I have been more productive this year than in years before. I still love being in my studio and coming up with interpretations of ancient myths. I am never bored. Heading to St. James this weekend. I’m in the “Court” in booth 378. It’s one of those Fall shows where the weather is suppose to change drastically from 80 degrees to a high of 60 during the day on Saturday and Sunday. Luckily it will be sunny-it will still feel colder than usual-the first cold snap always does. I just hope people come out as this is always one of my favorite shows. Sunday night we head home and Tuesday we head to Sicily for almost three weeks. I’m excited to say the least but also stressed out with the one day turnover-what was I thinking? I have read at least 25 books on Greek art in Sicily(Magna Greacia) and can’t wait to explore all the archeological sites and historic towns throughout. I’m the researcher and make all plans and itineraries. I have taken enough Duo-Lingo in Italian lessons to get me in proper trouble and I hope I have booked all the air b&b’s on the correct dates. It’s a lot. David kinda just says “ where are we going?”. Luckily he doesn’t mind me dragging him to a million ancient temples. Word to the wise though… give yourself a little break between a big trip and your usual life, whatever that may be…. Plus-trying to pack a three week trip into a carry/on is totally daunting. I’m gonna do it but I don’t have to like it. It is better than having to drag a mother bag around though. If interested -I’ll be posting on Facebook and on Instagram if you want to follow. Hope to see you this weekend.
