Stained Glass

Libby's cousin Martha Barksdale was vending for the first time at a street festival in Canton, NC, where she lives. She has launched into marketing her stained glass to the public. Read about her work here. We drove over this evening to wish her well and see what she was showing at "Materfest 2009." That's 'mater with a long-a as in tomato, not with a short-a referring to someone's momma. Martha has also launched a web presence at www.MajicGlass.com. Please stop by and take a look and buy something. Hopefully we'll be seeing more of Martha's work soon.

Martha has also begun working at a gem mine, something I think she's wanted to do for a long time. When we came to the mountains on vacation a few years ago and visited Martha, she took us to a gem mine near Canton. This place, Randall Glen, is way, way off the beaten path, but might just be worth the trek.

If you want, you can get this lighthouse for me for Christmas!
