Met several of the ladies at different things around town, craft shows, etc. they also put items for sale in a shop we have here for local artists called Blackbelt Treasures which is in Camden. I sell many things there myself. If any of you ladies would like some pictures I wouldn't mind going and taking some one day this coming week. Just let me know. With the exception of Montgomery all towns around here are small, that is the norm. I think there are only about 45,000 people in the whole county and 22,000 of them are here in Selma.
