Yea I know Christmas has come and gone or so I thought. I just got a check in the mail today from the Carnegie Arts Center for $540. They sold all of my turned ornaments, mini birdhouses, and bells except for 3. I was tickled to death. Now she wants me to bring down the fancy HF's and vases to display. She wanted to know if I would sell them and I told her yes but at my prices. She said no problem as they get 30%. We will see how it goes.

Congratulations, sounds like you are well on your way to establishing a good working relationship with the gallery. I'm sure they will want more next Chrismas as well.

I knew Bernie when he first started turning.....before he got well known....displaying and selling his stuff in a gallery.......quit working and moved to Virginia to be close to the gentry......Kansas wasn't formal enough for this artist.....
Congrats Bernie! No surprise to me. You have come a long way my friend!

Bernie,
That is really great news. Quality always sells so I'm sure your hf's will do well also.

A consignment house Is certainly an easier and better way to sell than Craft shows.
