HAPPY HOLIDAYS IN 2023

 
Merry Christmas from the Little House.





We hope this newsletter finds everyone doing well and getting ready for a peaceful holiday season. 
Your bellmakers have survived the awful heat and drought of the summer.  Finally, we have cooler weather and some rain - not enough though.  We will be working to put in a water catchment system this winter.  Water is becoming scarce up here in the hill country. 

We did some traveling this year - went north and east in our RV in the early summer. Went as far north and NY and Maine. Actually, we crossed the border into Canada when we went to Niagara Falls.  This is the harbor in Friendship, Maine where one of our friends are lucky enough to live. 

In October, we volunteered again at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.  Lots of fun but also lots of hard work!  

                My favorite balloon!! It actually has a horn just like a real VW bus!


We have added pottery making to our things to spend money on .... HA! We now have a wheel, a kiln and lots of clay.  We hope to include a little keepsake for customers in their bell boxes this year. 


Now we are back in the shop and ready for Christmas orders. The first box with the outer red tape just went out yesterday. 

We wish you all only the best. Have fun, be responsible, vote and take care you yourselves.
