Unexpected day at The Art Co-op

Today wasn’t “my” day at the Art Co-op, but Ms. Saturday was sick so I worked. The river was roaring and muddy!

It is fun to watch the seasonal changes at that prime little spot. The brilliant yellow trees out front have been a treat, and I have been waiting for someone to come in and tell me their name.

 Today a lady named Martha (no, not my mom but another lady) told me they are Acacia trees without even being asked, just what I was waiting for! Have a closer look:

California Winter

This is how it looked outside The Art Co-op on Thursday:

This is California in winter – rainy, cold. and the daffodils are in bloom! Take a look at the raging and muddy river – wow! Want to know the Number One Sin of Retail (according to my somewhat informal retail training)? It is closing early. Thursday at The Art Co-op, I sinned. Why? Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink (or flush, either).

 

The Art Co-op

The featured artist for the month of January is Nikki Crain, weaver extraordinaire! She is also a maker of soy candles, and as if that weren’t enough, she draws too! You can find her scarves, mug rugs, baby blankets, dish towels, candles and cards at The Art Co-op. 41707 Sierra Drive, Three Rivers. Tuesday through Sunday. 11-5.  (Can’t have the scarf on the far right – it sold Thursday.)
