Rowena Philbeck said… I wasn't able to go last year and not sure this year either. I would love to go to the show and may do it. I have to ask off for that weekend. I haven't helped or had a booth in several years. So glad that you are still creating art gourds. This is a great place and really keeps you motivated to create too. Take care and glad I got to talk with you. I do miss the old days for sure!! We had such fun visiting etc. I miss all the ones passed away too.
Rowena Philbeck said… Hey Ginny...been a long time. I love your items. Those little bags are really cool and your horses are great as usual. Hope you are doing OK. I'm working my 2 jobs and working some on making gourd shawl pins and buttons for fiber people. Take Care....

Thanks, Ginny, I enjoyed doing the banyan tree. I will say that I was glad when I finished.
