hi all,
i’m new to the group and thought i’d introduce myself. i learned about this site from Terri LaBrosse and Theresa Geary and am so looking forward to being part of the network -
I’m a gourd artist and founder/president of the Wisconsin Gourd Society. I’ve been working on gourds for almost 6 years now and it’s become a huge part of my life. My husband (of 4 years) is a gourd farmer here in WI (the gourd guy – largest provider of cleaned hardshell gourds in the state) and I’ve got him to thank for all this gourd activity. He prompted me to try my hand at it and also prompted me to start the gourd society.
Besides gourds, I also teach music (violin, guitar, piano) out of my home. I’m “retired” — from industry, that is, but find myself much busier now than I ever was when I worked.
So, I hope this is the beginning of a long and fun relationship with the traders and look forward to being a part of this group -

Hi Terri S.
Welcome to our group! It will be a nice addition to have you on board and it is very cool that you and Joanna are somewhat near in vicinity so that you can meet. Amazingly, we are all spread out but the beauty of technology allows us to share and still trade from a distance.
If you are interested in doing any trading, feel free to either make a group announcement or initiate individual communication with any of the traders.
Theresa
Welcome Terri!
We’re glad to have you here and we look forward to sharing with you.
Cheers,
Stacey
Welcome aboard, Terri! How fun is this! I am looking forward to meeting you at your show in Monroe. All of our lives are so busy, but we always make time for each other. I also grow gourds(in a small way), but have found it to be a lot of fun. Midwest weather and good organic soil can produce some pretty nice gourds. See you soon!
Joanna
