Maria may need to get a new marketing director for yesnoquilts. Frieda seems a bit bored to me, posing for the newest batch of potholders ready to be shipped out. We are out of boxes and have to get more. Check out those teeth. Whew.

  Notes: Save farmland. Check out and buy the new ASA Calender, whose proceeds go to save farmlands from development. Good cause. You can check out the 2010 calendar – which has photos by me and Corinna Aldrich, as the ASA website online. The calendar is beautiful and is a neat Christmas gift or useful thing for a desk.

   Also. Izzy, Maria and I (and Mary Kellogg) will be at Gardenworks this Saturday, Salem,N.Y. (518 854-3250) to sign and sell our books and sign and sell ASA calendars. Mary’s new book “Whistling Woman” is out. Maria is bringing potholders. I am signing books. ASA staff will be there to talk about their work. Gardenworks offers great stuff – freshly cut Xmas trees, pies, cider, gourmet cheese, crafts, classy gifts and cookies, donuts and produce.
