Whew. After weeks of holiday madness for my little business, I have just one more in-person event this season, a holiday craft fair in Arcata this weekend.
With this chance to catch my breath, I just want to say a big thank you to all my customers, family and friends. This holiday season and all year, it is a tremendous gift to be able to spend this brief time on earth engaged in truly meaningful work.
the time we are given . . .
sparks rise through darkness
to join the stars
Peaceful holidays to you and goodwill to all creatures.
warmly,
Annette Makino
