Well, today is the last day the art gallery will be open that my husband and I own. We gave it a good try, learned a lot about the business, and met some wonderful artists. However, the economy fought against us the entire time and now we need to cut our losses. Unfortunately, people would walk in and say, "wow...this place is amazing...this town really needed something like this," and then they'd walk out without buying a thing. If just 1/2 of those had bought something, we'd still be in business. Five other businesses in our small town have also closed their doors this month. So if I seem a bit short with anyone, if I disappear for days, it's because I'm mourning the death of a dream.

I can't say I'm sorry we ever opened it, though, as I did learn so much about the business of marketing artwork.
