What's Happening at Straight Up Chess?
I have a couple of new sets. A Small Medieval Set shown here as a complete set with board. You can also build your own set by picking the board and frame you like, adding it to your cart and then selecting this set from the Chessmen, 2 1/2" sets. And here is another new set, the 3" Camelot Bust set. I'll have this one setup on some sample complete sets soon.
April was a crazy month with Shows in Nashville and Texas. Now I only have one more show out of the Denver area this year and that will be the Waynesville Sauerkraut Festival in Ohio in October. For my scheduled shows, look under 'Where to Buy' on the menu.
When I do Art and other festivals I make some little things to sell while I show my Straight Up Chess boards. I have set up an Etsy.com page for a few of those items. Here is a link.
