Chapter 13

They arrived in Eastsound without issue, chatting happily for the short drive from the dock. It was a beautiful trip with scattered, picturesque farmhouses and dominated by pine-covered hills and forests. The last time she’d traveled here had been enjoyable, and she’d had time to walk around the small town and enjoy the ambiance. Even today during the cold of late February, people were out shopping and visiting in the little restaurants and stores.

“Here’s the church,” Molly said, braking to a stop in front of a fairly large building with several outbuildings. It was dominated by the pointed roof in the front, but behind it was a large, square building that Claire assumed was the gym Molly had mentioned. There were already a good number of cars in the parking lot, but they didn’t have trouble finding a place close to the doors.

“Most of the islanders come out for the market, and while it’s probably not the most lucrative avenue for sales, I just love coming here. We don’t do it every weekend, but only once or so a month. That lets my business partner and I go to other craft fairs on the mainland.”

“Who is your business partner, anyway? Will they be here today?” Claire asked as she helped lift one of the two folding tables out of the back of Molly’s car. They weren’t very big, and each woman could carry one without trouble.

“No, he couldn’t make it today which is why I asked for your help. His name is Terry. He’s a bit eccentric, but he taught me all about casting and working with metal. He does a lot of work in bronze and brass, and makes other larger pieces that go in people’s yards or as wall hangings. You’d love his stuff. I brought some of it with me today, but just some of the smaller pieces. Some of his stuff can be a bit bulky.”

“I hope to meet him someday,” Claire said, intrigued. She’d always loved brass work and was curious what form Terry’s took.

“Well, if you are okay to work at shows with us, I’m sure you will. He lives over in Burlington but travels a lot. Right now, he’s down in Oregon at a show with another friend of his. Some gallery owner named Gini Moore.”

They finished bringing the tables in, setting up alongside other booths and tables selling a wide variety of crafts, food, and other artwork. Molly and Claire had arrived a little later than the bulk of the sellers and there were already people walking through and shopping. Many of the people looked local, and everyone was smiling and chatting with each other.

After they’d gotten set up, Claire was able to look over the work that Molly did. She’d seen a bit of it before, but was awed by her friend’s new collection of handcrafted jewelry. Shimmering pearls were wrapped in delicate wire, sky-blue turquoise was surrounded by antiqued silver pieces, and brilliant crystal beads made up dangling earrings and intricate necklaces.
