The local Coop Ext Office sponsors the annual craft/gift bazaar in early Nov each year. Last year was the first year I showed (didn't do too bad either). Well I got a call this afternoon from the Ext office and was asked if I could bring down some pens and stoppers to the office. One of the directors is retiring and they wanted to buy something made by a local craftsman for him. Took some of my show inventory that I have been accumulating and they bought a captive ring wine stopper for the director (really like the fact that it was made from cedar from Granville county compliments to some from Jeff). But, while looking at everything, a couple of the ladies really liked the cartridge/antler pens I have made for this year's bazaar. Long story short, sold two cartridge pens also. Three weeks before the bazaar opens and already well over $100 in sales.

George

Congratulations George. I saw those items while visiting yesterday and knew they wouldn't stay around for long. They were beautiful!
Now you have more toy, er...tool money to spend!
Keep up the good work,
