Phase 1 – Done!

Got the big stuff moved into the new booth and placed. Here’s what it looks like so far:

Obviously, the little stuff that had made the move when this picture was taken isn’t arranged yet. The fun starts now. But I’m also trying to get all that little stuff on the web site and Etsy before taking it to the booth. Let me just say that I’m busy, busy, busy.

On a sad note, and this won’t be interesting to anybody but local folks, one of our landmarks burned today. One of the Avondale Mills buildings, the Eva Jane. So many of our families are connected in some way with this mill. Both sets of my grandparents worked there and my father began working there when he was 15 or 16. The mill closed several years ago and I understand had actually been sold, perhaps not to be torn down and parceled out, but today, lightening struck. With all that heart pine, there was no stopping the fire. Weather radar showed the smoke plume 10 miles away.
