So, art weeks over, had a day off at the shop and today a reset moment. Heading into October and on a day that forecast pm showers, torrential rain in the morning plus the forecast rain meant visitors were few and far between. I had set myself two things to work on today; reset the …
So Purbeck Art Weeks has drawn to a close, Rollington Barn has been packed away, art collected, sales paid for and May return for 2022. For me personally it combined with a new shop in a new location and my best sales at Rollington Barn with 54 cards sold, it was a shame not to …
