My First Sale!


Thank you to everyone who stopped by and bought some pysanky! It was a great experience and I hope to find more opportunities to sell them and demonstrate the art of making pysanky.

I promised everyone that I would upload the symbology handout I had at the table and I've made a  posting under the Symbology tab.
