October has been a very full month with a quick trip to Maine on Columbus Day weekend. Marc was able to come along for this trip...his first to Maine in 10 years! We had a wonderful time with family and friends. The weather at the beach was great for October. Marc got to tour some old forts and bunkers so he was extra happy.
The following weekend was RHINEBECK...the NY Wool and Fiber Festival in Rhinebeck, NY. A friend and I went for the day and had a great time looking at the latest trends in fiber. It's always a knitting, crochet, and felting fashion show as the thousands of attendees model their creations.
We finally got the 'all clear' to reopen the Unadilla Artisan Guild in our new location at the Methodist Church Parsonage. It's right across the street from the town's grocery store so we have much greater visibility than our former location. It's been so encouraging to have people ask how soon we'll open because they've heard of our opening and want to purchase gifts asap. We had an artisan meeting tonight and plan to open our doors on Friday. With the 'all clear' came the 'make it happen' activity. We've been painting, moving furniture, and stocking inventory--not to mention working on new items in our 'spare' time. The shop looks wonderful and we're all excited to be back in business.
