Whew.
Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at 10:28AM I want to thank you all for such a successful Studio Sale. It was such great fun to meet so many of you over the phone and through emails. Thanks so much for your unending patience as I obsessed over each shipment (I had lots of help from Claudia and Josh with the sorting shipping part, thanks guys!) and for all your great notes and photos! And if you are still waiting for your package, please don't worry yet. The USPS was a little scattered about their pick-ups, some of the last packages just left the building yesterday!
When I came up for air I realized that Fall was in full boom here in the Northeast. This photo was taken by a childhood friend of mine, Gillian Joughin, near where we were both born in Vermont. Isn't it lovely? She has entered it in a fall foliage photo contest over at the Burlington Free Press... First Prize is a pancake breakfast for her very active little brood.

Wow, fabulous photo! totally puts me in the mood for some pumpkin cookies!
Really pretty! I do love VT in the fall (though I never manage to capture such lovely photos!)
I'm still sad about missing your sale this year, but I've been having fun checking out what everyone has received! I can't imagine how much work goes into getting that all sorted out!
(if you have a strawberry print left without a home, you have a buyer here!)
Thanks for the update about the packages- I've been getting anxious to see what's inside! And it is a lovely pic- what a pretty place to grow up!
It is so wonderful how you took so much time to make sure everyone had a lovely package! If we did not get a shipping notice should we be worried?
I didn't email you but I wanted to tell you thank you so much and that I really loved mine.
Wanted to let you know that I loved my package - as did my daughter! She laughed about the Halloween poem and said, "Exactly!"
What a gorgeous photo!
Count me among those tap-dancing (and running off to the frame shop) because of the lovely perfect package you sent - the thought that went into these gems is so evident and so very appreciated!!
Great photo.
Kids love their walking sticks, don't they?
We have spend some early October days in Vermont. in Wilmington. It is always beautiful and we have travelled up to Woodstock and Queechee and over into New Hampshire and as a Florida girl I would like to say that God paints the whole area fantastically.
Looking forward to my package - everyone's I've seen so far have been fantastic!
Thank you so much for my package! I love all the items you sent-- so perfect taken from that 1-page form that I filled out. I had so much fun pulling out every item from the package and will definitely sign up (if I'm lucky enough to submit my form in time) next year.
My heart has been aching looking at all the gorgeous illustrations people have been receiving from the studio sale, you truly are a talent Heather! I will have to find my self a willing accomplice in the US so i can take part in the studio sale next year =^-^=
ooo, can't wait for my package, I skip out to the mailbox everyday in hopes that it'll be there, the suspense is half the fun!
I'm tickled that you found my photo. It looks serene, but behind every picture there's a story, and it's not always as pretty as the picture. I took a similar picture when the trees were green. So I dragged the kids up there a week or two later. It was coldish, and the sun came out for 20 seconds every 8 minutes or so. When the sun came out, I yelled at the kids - and I mean YELLED - to throw off their coats, stand there with their sticks and stop wiggling. I was horrified to turn around and find a very friendly couple standing two feet behind me. I don't know how long they had been witnessing a crazy lady yelling at kids who were standing on the edge of a cliff. (the cliff was rather innocuous, in reality). I'm interested in what's in all these packages to which people keep referring!
Love my selection. THANKS!
I can't wait till my package gets here, I am for sure NOT patiently waiting for it! Thanks so much for all your work in getting this together!
