I guess the plants make him feel like he's outside. Maybe a video of the ginkgo leaves would have worked?

Although it's not helpful at all, I would have made a beeline for your display and would have spent my budget. What a great photograph of Minnie - that little tongue!

We usually only have two good weeks of a beautiful Autumn. The leaves don’t change till late October or early November and then a nor’easter comes along and everything is gone. <br /><br />I hope you have a good two weekends ahead for you. <br /><br />How lovely to have a resident cardinal.

I think lot has to do with size comparisons...a big blown vase or bowl for the same price as a small sculpture not much bigger than your hand seems a better value. but typically people who buy our work have to see it several times, let it grow on them, and justify the cost for something so small. the lady who bought the peach box last year, didn't buy it the year before. also, we don't get much repeat business. they buy from us once and that's it.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-23242719569754700032018-12-03T13:35:58.804-06:002018-12-03T13:35:58.804-06:00Wonder if what sold had more practical application...Wonder if what sold had more practical applications...such as jewelry and Christmas ornaments?Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.com
