At last, summer seems to have arrived and with it, our spring shipment, which is expected to reach New York this week. It's been quiet here for the past month, and we've taken the opportunity to spend time in our workshop, getting pieces ready to be shown at the Fox Valley Fall Show on October 18 and 19 and at our Fall Opening on the weekend of November 5 & 6. In the meantime, we're putting out our OPEN sign every Sunday and having enjoyable conversations with the few visitors who come to shop or chat.
This month's newsletter contains more than two dozen new listings and a pair of short stories. The first story is about a piece in our inventory that made recurring appearances in European museums we visited in April, and the second describes the curious journey of our most recent European shipment. Pippin and The Back Page will complete this month's issue. We hope you'll enjoy it.
