Purple Chick aka Violet says:Thank you everyone !!
The show was a success, lots of people and some good sales, and lots
of interest , I will definitely do this show again next month… it’s an Art Show on the 2nd Saturday of every month…
I was extra excited about one sale from a lady who was visiting from
Australia, she said she loved my designs and was so excited to take a
piece home with her, that made my day !!!!
