My experience with border crossings is pre 2001, when things changed, so I don't know how thorough they are now at the border.  I was going to a show in Massachusetts and crossed into Canada at the St. Ste. Marie border and back into the…

He's going from US to US and could take a short cut thru Canada, but will take the long route to avoid 2 border crossings.

I got accepted to do the Lilac Festival in Rochester, NY this year and the shortest route would be to cross into Canada at Port Huron and back into the US at Niagra Falls, but I will put in the extra seat time and drive around Lake Erie, just to get…

First show ever
Very small show near Atlanta where we practiced putting up the tent and panels. I had to take the booth shot in my living room by moving out all the furniture. We lived in a condo and didn't have anywhere else to set it up. Fortunately the room had a tall ceiling.

What are the best things about art fairs
Meeting the people who like and buy my art and watching the world go by.
