Another good market this past Saturday. One highlight was someone with very good taste and an appreciation of glass history art purchasing this beauty.

I won't be at this Saturday's market (you probably can guess why), but I'll be back on Saturday, the 25th.

Thank you to all the lovely people who stopped at my tent at Saturday's market in downtown Las Cruces. Here's a little collage with some of the items I sold.
