Where did the summer go?

Where did the summer go? Could it really be September already? My summer was packed with craziness, hard work, and lots of fun, and September is already feeling like more of the same. I guess that it's just life today. So much to do. So little time in which to do it!

I'm in the process of shipping an order to "Books to be Red" on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. Ocracoke is a magical place, and this store has always been my favorite there. (Yes...even before they began to carry my artwork!) If you love a small bookstore with tons of character, friendly people, and interesting things packed into every nook and cranny, then this is the store for you.

While on the Island, also be sure to visit "Down Creek Gallery". They're located on the water on Silver Lake Harbor. This has been their first season, and the variety and quality of work that they carry is incredible. Again the people are friendly, and it just feels good to be in their space. (Did I mention that they also carry my artwork?!)

Well, that's all for today. Just the act of writing this message has taken me to a happier place and a more relaxed pace. Maybe I'll visit in person sometime soon. Now, if I can just work it into my schedule...
