The Business of Art

The Messenger Post article about Etsy sellers is here!

I'd checked online for it a few times over the past couple of weeks, then forgot about it until a friend at work popped into my office yesterday with it printed out. His wife had read it and called him about it. I'm very happy with it - especially the mention of being "the local artist with the most unique product".

I should have known it was out because I saw a jump in my stats yesterday for both this blog and the Pine Tree Designs site. Unless the print version is different - no urls were provided, so people have been resourceful in finding me by my Etsy shop name. Cool!

And I see no evidence of my "photo shoot". So my 15 minutes shrank to 10 minutes of fame - it's still all good!

I took our Admin & IT crew out for lunch yesterday for our annual holiday celebration. It was fun - we went to one of our favorite restaurants, Bocaccinis, where I had my favorite dish, fusilli with grilled chicken, asparagus, artichoke hearts, Boca spice, garlic & olive oil. For the first time, I purposely didn't finish it so I got to enjoy it all over again for dinner last night.

I had to go to Wegmans last night for ingredients for the various dishes I'm taking here and there over the next few days. It was crowded but not the madhouse I expected it to be. Still, I didn't get home until 7:00, a bit cranky & hungry. So that leftover fussili hit the spot!

There are so many people at work taking today off that I told my boss, "It feels like today is Friday. I hope I don't forget to come to work tomorrow!" Most of us will be leaving early.

Merry Christmas Eve!
