Started my second morning with a fun hour and a half laugh riot discussion with Pamela Miller from the Jonesborough Storytelling Guild at The Corner Cup!
Caramel Latte and a gluten free tart!
For seven years, Pam has been driven by a dream to create a space in Jonesborough that is dedicated to the history of the resurgence of storytelling through books, costumes, puppets, writings, and anything that storytellers want to contribute. It would house all of the early history and recordings of the National festivals, and any CDs people wanted to send. The bottom floor would hold books and such, and the upper floors would have listening and viewing rooms.
Pam's dream is that it would be "A National And International Resource For Storytelling Research, Collections, and Artifacts". Laura Simms, and and Liz Weir are also engaged in this work.
Their long, tireless effort has finally begun to bear fruit!
They've found a space. The City has granted them a 20 year lease.
They have been given permission by the family to call it The Kathryn Tucker Windham Center.If you are interested in finding out more about this organization, what it will do specifically, or wish to get involved with this project as it gets off the ground...CLICK HERE!

I love witches in general. Considering what I look like without my make-up.....
Really enjoying this quiet time to write and edit.
If you are in Irma's path, stay dry. If you are in the path of the wildfires raging out west stay clear.
Be well!
Happy Telling.
I visited the Corner Cup the last time I was in Jonesborough. It is a lovely shop, and I bought some unique jewelry there. Glad to know that they are thriving. The proprietor was most gracious.
