We are fascinated and happy with our You Tube Sales Experiment, last week Maria sold more than $1,200 worth of art online, even before the Open House started.  Sales have been very strong. The experiment brought many people to the art online, and some to the Open House in person. Our videos have drawn thousands of views, an exciting new opportunity for us.

In addition, sales on the scene were also very strong.

But sales are like chess, they are unpredictable and surprising. Usually, Maria’s yarn sells out within minutes, this year, she has some left for the first time. Otherwise, the art is flying out of here.

We have no idea why, but the challenge is always fun, and we are having a good time with this, as is perhaps obvious.

So Maria is offering a sale on the yarn – we know she will sell it all eventually – partly as a bonus to people who can’t get here in person, in part just to move it along, she needs the space. So for a few days, the skeins will be $20 apiece plus shipping, reduced $5 from their usual price of $25.

We suspect some people may be waiting for the Romney wool, but that won’t be available to sell for a few months, at the earliest. Maria describes the wool in the video, it is soft and beautiful, some of it from Deb, who died a few months ago.

So welcome to our first You Tube sale, if you are interested in purchasing this wool, e-mail Maria at [email protected]. We are grateful for your interest and support, Maria sold a great deal of her wonderful art yesterday, she has gotten very good at this.

And thanks for the donations for her India trip, they are also appreciated.

I am enjoying our plotting together, and am having fun putting my producer hat on for a bit.
