The Artisans In The Park show

The Artisans In The Park show was a tremendous success – beautiful wooded area with really nice people in attendance. A woman put us in touch with an upcoming show in Richmond (The Equine Extravanganza) and a charming man made a point of stopping in to tell Armando that he ate in his restaurant every single night that he stayed on the Eastern Shore a few years back and that he will always remember Armando as the one who “taught me how to really eat tuna: pan-seared.”

And, to top it all off Armando (pictured dancing his dance of joy) won an award from the show’s judges for his creative approach. All in all, a lovely time and we look forward to doing it all again next year (if we can have the very same spot under that amazing shade tree!)

Hope to see you at our next show,

Armando's shows and veggies

Around this time of year people on the Shore ceremoniously display their “Gone Fishing” signs – some for months at a time. Armando (always the one who has to be a little different) has instead “Gone Gardening”
between art shows and out of town guests. It’s a little bit like making jewelry: it’s creative, relaxing, colorful, flavorful (???) and most certainly, time well spent that reaps such amazing rewards. Off to the Artisans In The Park show at Great Neck Park in Virginia Beach and we’ll be back to tell you all about it. Oh – we’re packing a tomato basil salad for the trip!

Hope to see you at the shows,
Koko
