Sculpture in the South II

Sculpture in the South was wonderful again this year. I am still in awe of some of the great sculptors I meet here every year.

We had rain on Friday, of course. It is the lowcountry in May after all. But the installation was done by the time the downpour hit, and the black-tie reception was held indoors - thankfully!

We had two beautiful days for the show-until about 3 PM on Sunday. Then the skies opened again. My neighbor's Blackberry showed a line of storms coming that was sure to last for hours. Customers disappeared when the rain came, and the show organizers wisely closed the show early.

They passed out ponchos to those of us who were not prepared, and we proceded to load up without damage to the artwork or displays. Even Karryl's 300 lb giraffe was loaded without damage.

Sales were down from last year, but the show was worth the trip. I'm looking forward to next year already!
