'Tis the Season!

Sorry for the long delay in blogging! We have been super busy promoting the many H.C. Porter Gallery book signings (we worked a total of about 140 hours last week — and, yes, that does count the 40 hours Olivia put in for her real job, but still!). And, although there were plenty of bloggable moments amidst all the late hours and tiring jobs (like the two of us scrubbing plastic chairs with Clorox outside the gallery), we just didn't have time to document everything. So, we're looking forward instead...


Before all the craziness began, we spent a Sunday afternoon being lazy and visiting with Lauchlin's mom in Clinton. We found this Christmas plate Lauchlin "designed" in kindergarten (or at least we hope it was kindergarten — the wear and tear has made it impossible to tell if the plate was made in 1983 or 1985, which would make a big difference). Regardless, it obviously didn't take too kindly to the not-so-gentle use over the years and apparently isn't microwave safe! It helped kick start the holiday season for us, though.
