Our refurbished office - ready for Spring
Since last month's newsletter . . . .
. . . . we spent much of January and February refurbishing our office - removing interior walls and other obstructions. The result - an airy, open space in which we can work in comfort and communicate easily with each other.
The snow piles outside our garage have begun to shrink from their eight-foot height, and the frozen walls that lined the entrance to our house have started to recede. With no shows since early in February, business has been quiet, enlivened by an occasional e-mail, appointment, or drop-in. Except for the snow, it's been a very civilized Winter.
We're beginning to see signs of Spring arriving in Conway: huge piles of dirty snow, tufts of brown grass emerging from beneath the white fields, a shift in the bird population, and workers collecting sap from the maple trees that line virtually every road in town. We're looking forward to our upcoming buying trip in England and the resumption of our show schedule when we return in early April. We're ready for Spring!
