This Week at Norton’s Cove Café

~ Janet Davis ~ 2 Comments
We had an overwhelmingly successful Feast of Saint Valentine event at the Café on the 13th & 14th. In the fall and early winter, it’s easy to feel a bit tuckered out when it comes to thinking about the café and all the work involved trying to make everything run smoothly. We want the business to provide what our customers want, but also it needs to make enough money to pay the bills and enable us to keep going. That can be pretty stressful! But this event in mid-February, when we’ve been feeling refreshed and almost ready for spring to arrive again, reminds us of how much we love what we’re doing, and how much this venue means to the people around us. Honestly, the comments coming back have been very heart-warming. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It really is the nourishment our business needs!
Now that we have completed the downstairs space at the Café, which we call the Lower Deck, and some of the COVID restrictions look like they’ll be relaxing soon all across the country, I’m hoping to line up a new series of Live @ the Lower Deck events. I am looking for professional performers to stand in this spotlight and entertain us. Interested artists should introduce themselves via email and include links to examples of their work.

Another wrench thrown in… back to alert level 4 for the Greater Norton’s Cove area.

I’ve been thinking about what we should do as a business these last couple of days, and have come to the conclusion that we will go ahead with our planned start dates. If we are still in Alert Level 4 next Wednesday (reopening day), then we we will open for take-out only. If you have a reservation for the first week, I’ll be in contact closer to the reservation day to let you know what’s on the go.

Work on the Lower Deck is still progressing, if slowly, and the space will double our usual floorspace when we reopen for in-person dining. I just spent one of my days off painting doors and trims, and I’ll be spending a few of my evenings after work at the studio over there finishing that work. We still have to install bathroom fixtures, a track lighting unit (to illuminate Live @ Norton’s Cove performers), install floor covering on the stairs, remove all the tools (oh dear, we need another shed!), and furnish the space.

Illustrations Update

~ Janet Davis ~ Leave a comment

So I didn’t make my self-imposed deadline. I still have three panels that need more layers- I’m currently waiting for them to dry so I can add on top without the colours mixing. And I have one panel that I loathe and I will rework.

But I still want to start Printapalooza on Wednesday, and I want to take Monday and Tuesday off to do some garden work and reading. I also start a little business program on Wednesday evening. And I have a bit of work to do getting the Lower Deck ready to open. These will have to get finished when I get time in the evenings. Soon!

twelve of sixteen panels complete (I think): or 75%+

I am on a self-imposed schedule to get these illustrations completed before #printapalooza is set to start again on May 19th. And I’ve been keeping to a regular work schedule for the first time after 19 years in business, taking two days off each week. So that means that I have 3 days left to get this project complete or suffer the consequences: personal shame and a rather nasty inner monologue.

You might see my lights on and my open sign up later than usual for the next couple of days! Please do stop in for a visit while I’m painting.

six of sixteen panels complete (I think): or 38%
