CRAFT SHOW UPDATE

Next Saturday, August 18th, I'll be set up at Barnes, WI - on County N between HWYs 27 & 63, north of Hayward - south of Iron River, WI. Then I'll be driving across to Ironwood, Michigan and spending the night in a cheap motel, before going to...

Old Victoria Museum, etc. on Sunday 8/19. Take U.S. 2 to Wakefield, Mich., then M-28 to Bruce Crossing, then U.S. 45 north to Rockland, Mich., then 4 miles south to the Old Victoria site - hopefully there are signs to guide you (and me).

Saturday, August 25th we'll be at the Cumberland, WI Rutabaga Festival, but not in our regular spot. We'll be on the east side of the street, and I think a little north of our usual location, under a store awning.

Saturday & Sunday of Labor Day weekend (September 1st & 2nd) Lisa and Jed will be at the Port Wing, WI Annual Fish Boil craft show.

More updates to come......... Being so busy with the new shop, we've been waiting and booking shows later than we have in past years.

In the shop things are going great. We'll be putting antique and collectable furniture on sale a bit later, maybe for our September sale). Also sometime in September we will be dropping to 6 days a week, but we still haven't decided which day of the week we'll be closed. More on that when we decide as well.

VISA & MASTERCARD - In the store and at shows!

Hi all,

We've taken the big step (for us, anyway) of setting up to take VISA and MASTERCARD again. We had done so for 13 or 14 years, but were forced to stop by increasing fees and more complicated procedures. But now it seems oh so easy -- we'll see.

But anyway, we'll be accepting plastic at craft and antique shows as well as in the shop.

I'll update the show schedule again when we book more into the fall.

Old Victoria Art & Craft Show 4 miles south of Rockland, Michigan (north of Bruce Crossing) on Sunday, August 19th. This is our first time for this show, but it is a well-established show and several other artists and crafters have told us it is a very nice one - so check it out!
