Brief update...belatedly, I'm off to Chicago to see "The Woodmans" (the trip had to be scrubbed yesterday). The sale is going swimmingly—the 200 mark is in sight. So far, Charlie has been content to let it run—he printed 50 or so prints in advance of Sunday's announcement and ordered 100 sets of packaging, so he was well underway before the sale even started. I've been swamped here, little time even to answer email. Almost too much excitement for me—my idea of a good time being to sit on a grassy knoll in the shade of a tree in the summertime, thinking.
I'm especially pleased to see so many names go by that are familiar from past sales. Seems to me that people wouldn't buy from us again unless they were satisfied with what they'd received in previous sales, so the numerous repeat buyers feel like a vote of confidence to me, which I appreciate.
More anon.

You forgot the part about smelling the flowers. Reminds me of a book my Grandmother read to me many, many years ago. Perhaps you've read it as well, or better yet, had it read to you..."The Story of Ferdinand".
Sometimes we don't do enough of that.

Well I am a faithful repeat wisher, does that count? :) If I only had the money I'd buy a print in a flash (in fact, if paypal fixes my account before the sale finishes I may forego milk for the babies and get the print anyway).
I can see this one is destined to do very well though and will undoubtedly make a lot people happy. Maybe next time.

Any comments on the movie "The Woodmans?"
