Well, my friends asked me to go to Jamaica to celebrate a big birthday but it sounded like it would be too much fun so I declined. So I have no plans. Anybody have any suggestions?
A LOT of you will be in Florida at Fort Myers, Hobe Sound and Stuart. Where else will you be?

Lois, Kim and I will there. Its amoung our favorite shows to do.
Well, this is a resting weekend for me since last weekend was our Key West Craft Show...... I've got a small one day local show to get ready for on President's Day weekend, before driving up to visit the Grove and St. Stephens Show, then back here to get ready for for the Old Island Days Art Festival on the 25th. (Will see you there Joan..... and who else is coming down? RC? )
And Connie was that YOUR big birthday or your friend's???? :)
It was my friends, but I have one coming in May and I have MUCH bigger plans...
Question for all of you doing shows on Super Bowl weekend - does that impact your sales? Maybe not, since most of the shows I've seen mentioned so far are in Florida, therefore you are probably packing up before the game starts. For those of us on the West Coast I would speculate that if there were shows worth doing they would be totally dead on Sunday. Just wondering.
BTW, this weekend we're sleeping in on Saturday, Super Bowl events on Sunday and starting to think about packing for our 2 week family visit trip to Dallas/OKC. Not looking forward to the travel but can't wait to get my hands on my grandtwins!!
I'm packing the car this weekend for Monday's start of the trip to the FL Keys to do Pigeon Key next weekend and Key West Fine Arts fair 2 weeks later, and to visit with 3 daughters, 2 granddaughters, my brother and a bunch of friends along the way. I am SO ready to see sunshine and flowers!
That sounds like a great trip, Joan. One of the perks of this business is the opportunity to see friends and loved ones while out on the road for business. Bet you'd agree. Not to dismiss spending a February week in the Keys.
Not all of us get into those really big, well-known shows! This weekend I am at the Sarasota Masters Festival of Arts (a Boulderbrook show). Looks like fairly decent weather all across Florida this weekend!
So, true, Jan! I am in the studio making inventory for the upcoming Spring shows (not top tier - LOL).....
I know it was a long drive for you to get there, Jan. Hope it is a good one for you - but at least you are seeing the sun. Enjoy that for the rest of us in the North.
