Open House Next Saturday
The Tin Man
So far everything
is looking good for the open house next weekend, if there are any changes,
check on Facebook or give me a call to see if there are any changes. I still
plan on having a hay ride and will be giving away a free bear I plan on carving
this week and will have available at the open house to take home with you, so
this way everyone will be encouraged and
will see that the bear is actually gave away.
This will be your
only chance to get a carving from me this year, and unless you plan on
attending next year’s open house, otherwise you will have little chance of
having me carve you anything. Sorry I’m not taking orders, and plan on outfitting
my new house with my work while I can. This will also be your only chance to watch me
carve publicly this year or next, as I have no interest in diverting my
priorities anywhere else but to the task I have assigned myself. I am not
getting any younger and have only so many carvings left in my body and have
other priorities I need to take care of before my back will limit what I do. Not
asking for sympathy, just some understanding.
I would have
loved to give everyone a carving, or at least tried to sell you one, but I started
too late in life to accomplish that and only after hurting my back. This isn’t therapy
for a bad back instead it is probably the opposite; instead it is therapy for
the mind, knowing I can perform a skill few have achieved. I am happy to have been
able to do it, and it gives me credibility to my artistic talents. I told mom I
should have went to art school. I imagine her argument would be it would have
been money wasted as she knew I had talent all along, why pay for something when
you can have it for free.
So this is your
one of two chances to get a carving yet for a while. Along with the free
carving I will be offering a much smaller assortment of plants. I have a lot
less bedding plants like tomatoes and peppers, instead I have more perennials
like iris’s and swamp lilies, and some ground cover. I also have a nice
assortment of trees I plan on selling cheap to get them in the ground as well
as arbor vitae, all of which seem to be doing real well showing great growth. All
of these will need to be planted or at least repotted, and this is the reason I
am selling them cheap. All trees will be 7.50, regardless of species. Some I will
have reserved for myself, but for the most part will have over 400 trees at
this price. If you choose to buy a quantity, then I can cut the price more.
Also I will have
some exhibits and updates on some special projects I have been working on. Hopefully
you will come and enjoy and maybe learn a thing or two or be quick to tell me
when I am wrong. I always love that. I can’t say I know everything or have done
everything there is to do. So I am always open to constructive criticism. Any other
criticism needs to be handled by Babe my executive director in charge of
bullshit. She will take care of you in a heartbeat.
Anyhow I am just
kidding about Babe and hope that everyone just comes and enjoys themselves. Buy
if you want, but don’t feel compelled to purchase anything. I would rather you
want to take something home, if nothing else maybe a free bear.
