Coyote's Blessings: Another Weekend

Another weekend helping Tina out at the Mountain View General Store. This time it was for the "A La Carte" Festival (one of the town's big art and wine festivals). We hung out and worked on various projects, including Crow creating two on-the-spot painting (pictures forth-coming). The event is happening tomorrow as well, so if you're in the area - consider checking it out!

The shop's been updated with some more magnet knoblings and a couple of snats. There is also a snapsnot of an amazing sunburst painting created by Tina's husband Griff. While he is not an official guest artist, Tina was nice enough to allow us to post his creation on Coyote's Blessings store. Seriously though, who can say 'no' to free advertising?

Although we did not get a chance to walk around, Tina made sure we were busy. We helped her create some signs to encourage patrons. We also learned how to work the register. What register? Yes, she'd been generous enough to give us some space in her back room as a small artists' studio in exchange for us watching the store once a week. We start Tuesday!

Even here we can get a chance to advertise.

The Immigration House - A mock up of a house from the 1800s that a family of four lived in for many years. Though their house was not quite as small as this one, this Kwanis Club creation is about 2/3 scale. Still not a very big place to house four people! This mock up lives outside the Mountain View General store.

Tina did her best to create attractive displays for the local artists she represents.

"Side" yard shot. The way Tina decorates her space suggests a cozy place, welcoming to old and new friends alike.

The Mountain View General store's side yard is different almost every day. You can see the nice table and chairs Tina offered for tired patrons of the A La Cart festival today.
