A Few Readers Studio Photos

As promised, here are a few snaps from The Readers Studio 2009.

With client, friend and Mermaid Joanna Powell Colbert:

Joanna’s amulets were the talk of the vendor area, and I was blessed to snap one up before they sold out. Gorgeous! We shared a post-session mini-circle of sorts with my dear friend Keri Bas and another glorious client of mine, Valentina Burton:

Can I just say that I heart my clients?

Later, a pleasant surprise:

Yes, the ducks were back. Confidential to those who don’t know what I’m talking about: see The RS 2006. (I had a picture there at one point but it appears to have disappeared.)

And as promised, here’s that picture of Bob Place and I:

Hrm. I just realized that I didn’t get one of Mary Greer, or Rachel, or James Wanless. Or Keri, for that matter. Boo.

Mary had her brand new, not-yet-released-to-those-of-us-who-are-not-Mary-Greer copy of that moment we’ve all been waiting for, The Pamela Coleman Smith Commemorative Tarot Set. I wept tears of joy and tried not to drool.

At one point I approached Mary about a project that is forming in my head that I know I’d love her feedback on. It’s still very much in feral kitten stage, and yet I found myself wanting to say something anyway. All I could manage was “Um… I’m going to tap you on the shoulder someday to talk about A Thing. Yeah. A Thing.”

Mary: “Sounds intriguing!”
Me: …
Me (thinking): “You’ll know what I’m talking about because I’ll say, ‘you know that thing?’”

Later, we talked about knitting, which was markedly easier.
