    Louise and I loved being at Art on Main. It was a fantastic eieerxpnce. We will certainly be back next year and look forward to seeing you again.

      Hendersonville was a wonderful experience for us last year and we look forward to doing it again this year. We will be looking for you. So glad you like my rock jug and bowls. The Geode Bowls are a hit where ever we go.
