Seven Sisters New Gallery

 

Now on Broadway in Black Mountain

 I was charmed as usual by the cards...my one gift I am sure to give all my family on their birthdays. With my limited income, I can't send them personalized presents, nor gift cards. But I probably do for the Christmas Holiday anyway...

But there's no Seven Sisters in places where they live...so I'll have to give gift cards for international stores. I'd sure rather give them local stores' gift cards...mmm, may have some work on that.

Today's quote:

“How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn’t care about careers,
And exigencies never fears;
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
In casual simplicity.”

Emily Dickinson

Along Cherry Street

Early morning (when August afternoons aren't that great for walking around) we did a bit of window shopping in downtown Black Mountain.

 Sassafras had lots of books as well as journals and cards and great gift things.

 Mountain Nest is one of my favorite places to see arts and crafts...

 My friend (and fellow studio potter at BMCA) Dori English had a small display of her horses and girls. She's been working on a series of goats in pajamas.

 The street was really empty and had few cars parked there yet.

 My friend bought herself a tree pendant...which is shown here not in the correct way - the silver ring should frame it...she got it fixed right after this was taken.

 Seven Sisters is a gallery as well as place that sells lovely jewelry and pottery (and cards.)

 Looking down the hill of Cherry Street.

 Another potter friend, Sarah Vekasi, had this display of her work in the window of Seven Sisters.

 Right around the corner (at the bottom of Cherry St) is Sutton St, with the Old Depot crafts gallery.

My friend Sally Smith has a lot of her work on display.  

I have a shelf of pottery there too!
