I still need a dresser. Yesterday morning, pulling on my clothes was an absolute disaster in the making. First of all, I had my knickers on back to front, then I couldn't work out which way to put on my pinafore, then I had issues wriggling into my socks. I find cold weather much more challenging than summer, largely due to the layers I am forced to add to my body to keep warm. At least I had no trouble with my boots.
Which brings me to an entirely different point. On Friday, I wore open shoes and nearly froze. I am that weird type of person that if my feet are cold, I am cold all over, even if I am rugged up to the nines. So, yesterday was the first day I have worn my boots and thick socks. What a triumph of decision making.
As a result, I ran around the East End Gallery with a new sense of purpose, purely because my feet were warm. Having moved one of Janice Oliver's paintings into a new location, I then contemplated Alyssa Byl's email to me about her stock. I realised that Alyssa's cards were far too jammed together in a box that was inadequate for display and the position of her cards in the Gallery was not not doing her any favours.
Alyssa began as a card maker with us when she was fifteen years old. She has a quirky and eclectic style of creating collages, then printing them for her cards. She has an array of different scenes, flowers, plants and a magpie, all as a result of her collages. She also has single gift tags and packs of six different gift tags. We have loved having Alyssa in our Gallery and hope she will continue supplying us with her cards and gift tags.
So, I rearranged and moved Alyssa's cards. This precipitated an upheaval of major proportions. I had boxes and plates and tissue paper and oodles of all our card-makers' items all over my desk, and various other spots, which then caused a calamity as I tried to remember what I'd left where...
At the conclusion, having suffered much gnashing of teeth, a great deal of colourful language and the usual bashes and bangs against corners plus stubbing of toes, I was extremely satisfied. A bit of bark removed and the odd bruise did not dull my sense of achievement,
Card Centre was reconfigured for a greater selection, with fewer cards scattered in other pockets of the East End Gallery. I was suitably pleased with myself!
And this, naturally, all began with the movement of one picture...
Until next time.
Need a hand made original card for any occasion. Our guests have plenty of choice in Card Central at the East End Gallery -
