Showers until 11 this morning...when the gallery opens..probably meant that some people didn't come to Culzean...most of it is outdoors...and possibly others were heading home to work, and school. Children here have been back for a couple of weeks already.
So apart from two small coach groups, most were walking dogs or perambulating grandkids....Sales were eventually ok...just..and then you have those that roll up with two minutes to closing (4.30) time, mooch around...but at least have the grace to buy a couple of cards before leaving!!
It drains you....either being ignored or responding to people who aren't really interested in your reply.
One decent conversation...a woman had been at the boarding school in Denbigh, Wales and had visited Theatr Clwyd in Mold
I had then started work as one if the first three staff at Oriel Theatr Clwyd, a long gallery between the smaller theatre space (where snooker tournaments and conferences were held.) and the larger main theatre. This was 1978.

The gallery looks light and airy. Are the night light pots able to hold a scented oil in the top? I try to respond when you have commented on my blog, thank you, but you are no reply.
I hate when people do that. They used to do it all the time when I was working in a crystal and fossils. And they didn’t just look for a few minutes. Sometimes over an hour.
So rude.
I’m glad that you did eventually get the sales you needed it’s a beautiful little gallery
yes, you could put a small saucer on top for oil.
I'm not sure why my comments are no reply...it happens on blogs sometimes for no apparent reason
When I was volunteering at Newton House (Dinefwr), you would have such totally disinterested people wandering round and I often wondered why the hell they were there in the first place. Others were delightful to talk too - the ones who actually had an interest in history,
Nice gallery to have your work in.
when I look back on your blog it says Reply under my comment...

I like the tea light candle holders, I'm guessing you put essential oil on top? Those always smell so nice.
I am glad that you pulled at least 'okay' sales.
Yes you can if you place a small saucer or bowl for the liquids on top
The gallery looks like a lovely shop filled with beautiful hand=crafted pieces. If I visited, I am sure I would find things to purchase.
You do such beautiful work. It would be tiring being ignored by people who take up your time and space and then leave. Do you read or do projects on such days?
Not really..as you always have to be aware of people coming in...and if I read or something my attention would be 100% to that!!
