Thanks - 2nd Sunday Ceramic Seconds Sale 11/11/2018

Thank you everyone who was able to attend our first “2nd Sunday Ceramic Seconds Sale” last weekend. It was a very big success and lots of you showed up right when we opened, as well as purchased items in our current show Little Treasures. Once we know what month the next one will be happening we will be letting you all know.

Also a huge thanks to Margaret Morrison for being the head volunteer for this event and Lily Diego, pictured in the penguin costume, for standing on the corner directing people from Hwy 9 to our sale. You both made this event an extreme success.
