CHANGE IN GALLERY HOURS - AGAIN



REMEMBER;

We will be doing “off site” shows throughout the winter but our gallery will only be open by appointment.

We want to thank those who call ahead for an appointment with a 10% discount on all non-consignment items. This offer is good until we open with regular hours in the spring, at this time we’re thinking late April for our opening.

Call me, Tom, at 920 915-3767 for an appointment.

It’s winter, ya know!



Hello from the Tornado Tavern Gallery – I hope you all had a great time for giving thanks. Mary and I have been busy with our last big show in Sister Bay.
Thank you all for your support and congratulations for being the Southern Door Business Association, Featured Business for November and the wonderful article in the news letter. I was honored by all the attention that it received.
The typical business season is winding down and the gallery hours are being cut back. This is sometimes referred to as Door County time. We will be open most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00ish to dusk. We strongly encourage all to “call ahead” as it is winter, “you know”. There are still some hardy folks coming up for the Christmas and New Years holidays but after that it’s mostly snowmobilers and ice fishing. They would rather that we were the Tornado Tavern and not a Gallery, ah well. There are some opportunities to network with business that are also open “off and on” during the winter and I have had the pleasure to get to know some of them.
Mary is still working in Neenah and I will probably spending more time “back and forth” during the week. I am still active on the DC Renaissance board and have been “anointed” as a member “at large” of the Southern Door Business Association.  The SDBA are serious business people and I’m learning from them. I have also been elected to the Door County Historical Society which is exciting for me. They run the Crossroads historical site outside of Sturgeon Bay. So with that and making things for the gallery I’m keeping myself busy.
We are still the “Door County Designated Lost Marbles Reclamation Center” and are accumulating marbles. We also have a selection of “safety marbles” which don’t roll so much so are harder to loose.
We also have our “Christmas Coal” in stock and have some smaller pieces wire wrapped for use as ornaments or pendants. Those are great for naughty people who are actually nice people most of the time or for nice people who you might want to be naughty (just as a suggestion). Mary says that I am getting pretty good at wire wrapping so I added a picture of some of the glass pieces. They really look nice hanging in the window as sun catchers.



The black one is coal and the others are glass. My next project will be wrapping some agate slabs.
I will be leaving now to help Mary close the show in Sister Bay, keep in touch.
