34 rain sogged people in today

Wet weather may hve waterlogged wallets as no spending today but good feedback and enjoyment of the creations:
"Beautiful images for a dreary day"

"What a warm surprise: joyful! Thanks for a uplifting visit amongst this wonderful art!"

"Great to see and feel the enterprise and the energy."
"Inspiring"

One man came in AGAIn to see Deanna Gracie's jewellery and said he will come back again on Friday. Her Jewellery has proved to be a real favourite. One lady emailed Deanna especially to ask her to exhibit her jewellery in a national jewellery show!

ALL enJOYed

Sales would be fab, fab, fab.....the seeds will germinate in their own time and bear fruit in ways we have not anticipated...of that we can be sure.

So like so many creative ventures it is important not to lose faith and to know that in time the money will flow - the important thing, for me personally, is that the creations are uplifting and joyful and positively affect peoples emotions. As one person said to me:

"This has really made my day. I'm quite cynical- but you have achieved what I would expect from something like this (my sumi_e ink Gimblett inspired works). They are so beautiful and simple."

"Their simplicity inspired so much emotion,

" she later wrote in our guestbook.

That makes me happy:)

Plus today I was offered a very, very, very exciting business opportunity to do with marketing the arts...too early to say yet as I have to dot a few "i's" and cross a few "t's"...but it is huge and could signal a whole new career direction!

Plus I am so happy because while working in the gallery my friend Cho Chan came in and insisted on paying me upfront for a copy of "Happy@work: job hunting for mid-lifers" Amazing! I have not even finished it. See my post on the happy@work blog for more details www.cassandragaisford.com
