The Longest Winter Ever

4/15/2015

 
Picture
The Longest Winter Ever is finally drawing to a close here in northeastern Connecticut. We still have a few small mountains of snow deep in our home woods—shoulder-deep pockets of winter holding the promise of spring under packed ice, surrounded by delicate snowdrops and daffodil shoots. Tom and I spent a glorious weekend as many of you did, I’m sure—raking, pruning and clearing out debris left by the deep snow. Finally!!

We spent the previous months snowbound in the workshop—creating custom orders (whale tail utensils, monogrammed baby hands and wedding platters), designing great new pieces (trivets, pig-tail spoons), carving many hearts, teaching a fun program for Rectory School and training an apprentice in the woodshop.

 After a years-long search for an office assistant, Serendipity stepped in and brought Christina to us—see her fun treatment of my whale tail utensils on our home page. Later when I needed a hand in the shop, dear Christina showed off her exceptional eye-hand coordination and artistry by carving anything I threw at her! It’s truly a pleasure to pass along skills to such a talented young person. The stress level has gone down considerably since her arrival. Make it a point to meet her at shows this year—you’ll see why I’m so happy!
