Dear Mel,

Attached are photos of a big garage sale Pat and another lady put on this weekend. Sorry for the long silence, been involved in several construction project. Got back last week and finally finished some banks for the show last weekend I’ve got to say every thing you have sent me and told me about these banks has been filled with truth and wisdom. “It’s been spot on.” Until Saturday we have been in four shows and have only sold two stools and  a few of the Moose bird feeders you can see in the background of the photos. This weekend we sold 10 banks and had people say they were beautiful, but not in their garage sale budget, but they took cards!!!! We’re charging twenty eight for the Crab, Butterfly and Fish, twenty five for all the rest. Talked with the manager of a local bank that was there she thought they were “Gorgeous”, but I had to talk with someone higher on the food chain, she gave me a name of the regional manager. We better watch out what we wish for!!

I really need to see that video you made about the scroll saw. My skill on the saw has improved 100% but I still have miles to go. This old relic of a computer we have won’t accept Adobe Reader. Talk to you soon!!!

Thanks again for all the info and being my mentor!!!

Dear Mel
