Hi, Ai!
I went out this afternoon and sat in the eating area in one of the newer specialty grocery stores that opened here recently called Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace. They are fairly expensive so I don't do a lot of shopping there, but they have a tremendous amount of merchandise, and a lot of it is Italian. They have a counter that makes pizza, a spot where you can get a pastry and a coffee, gelato, prepared foods, and lots of things you never knew you needed. I grabbed a coffee and sat in the eating area in the front of the store. There are shelves with Italian pottery and plants that separate the area from the cashiers...but they don't spoil the view. I sat there for at least an hour sketching the checkout counters and the interesting things around them.

Thanks for your comments Ai & Robin.
Vivien, thanks for letting us know Creative Spark will continue. Yay!! My thanks to those who stepped in to rescue us!
Ai, I saw the photo of you and Tone at the bakery and I was waiting for a sketch. I think it would be hard to sketch there with all the different aromas and temptations. Good job resisting most of it and sketching.
Ned, thanks so much. I stopped to show the sketch to the cashier who was in the center of the sketch. She had been assisted from time to time by another woman who had stopped and noticed what I was doing. Of course she didn't have a clear view with the plants and displays between us. The store manager came over too. I guess I'm the first one who has sketched there. lol I'll have to check out if I can sit in other spots in the store. They have some great displays.

Thanks Joan, I sketched my drink cup a bit before consuming the entire cup coffee ... Once I finished with the coffee cup sketch, then I came back to do the bread table and cabinet. For this place, the hard part of location sketching is that most coffee tables is quite small.
hi everyone 
Just a quick note to say how happy I am to be able to continue here in this amazing place with all of you
I haven’t been able to comment or respond to things lately, as I was in panic mode trying to save the SH threads I had participated in with you all…..
But now that I know the threads are safe, I hope to be back to comment and respond soon, hopefully today or tomorrow….. assuming I can get my heart re-started lol
————————-
But having gone back through a number of our SH threads, reading all the kindness that every one of you has shown to me….. the gratitude I feel to all of you, and to this place where we can gather is beyond words…..

Ai, I do a lot of my sketching with my sketchbook in my lap, so I can usually work no matter how small the area is. Looks like you had enough space.
Pine Cone, I'm so glad you heard the news! It is a relief to know there were members who were willing to take over. I can't imagine going thru and trying to save things from the threads. That's a lot of work. I'm happy we will all continue to be here together in the future.
