Wagon Wheels a Turnin'

Crow and I had a great time yesterday working on the wheelbarrow for Ava's Downtown Market! The wheelbarrow started out with an erratic coat of white-wash. Ann (one of the owners) wanted to give it a rustic appearance. Crow spent the better part of four hours at worked as she painted the logo on one side. Though the initial commission was for both sides, Ann changed her mind as they are putting it against a wall. I painted a trim of grape vines, and words on the bottom.

We worked in the street so the curious passer-by might gawk at what we were doing. There was a flutist who joined us on the street for a while, but he left not long afterward. The entire day was a great way to drum up interest in the wheelbarrow, the store and of course (best of all) Coyote's Blessings! I passed out about twenty cards yesterday and talked to several people who are interested in commissioning things from us. I'll get some pictures of the wheelbarrow up here and on our site soon :)

We also passed by Mountain View General Store to say 'hi' to our good friend Tina. Beauty, the Beta knobling, has a new home now. I'm a little sad I'll never see her again because she was my personal favorite. However, there is a nice lady out there somewhere enjoying the magnet knobling on her refrigerator.

Wheelbarrow pictures are forth-coming!
