I had a busy weekend. Saturday was the big craft show! I've been working on building inventory for this craft show for the last few months. Of course, of course, if you have been here for any amount of time guess what showed in the forecast??
Yes.
Rain.
Are you freaking kidding me? So the big set up outside went to "rain program" for squished around inside with the option to stay outside. I was resigned to being inside even though when I got up in the morning the rain didn't seem to be on the forecast anymore. I debated on taking my tent and 2nd table but didn't. When I got there I was told I could set up in the church but there was quite a few people setting up outside so I decided to just go for it. I called Scott and asked him to please bring my tent and other tables. He brought them without even complaining, which was so nice :)
Melissa went with me and Jessica joined us for a few hours. They are turning into my little sales girls haha.
The night before I made myself some new little signs and got organized with some baskets. I ended up taking my mug cozies out of the baskets since I think they do better spread out. I goofed when I made their sign too and put 4/$20 instead of 5 which my friends mother in law pointed out to me when she was shopping my booth. Whoopsie! I just folded up the bottom of the sign and told people. Oh and don't look at my signs in this picture, they are the old ones.
Here is my setup before people started shopping. My first customer was a man which makes me kind of happy! He bought a Giants key fob for himself.
Some day I'll make some legit table covers.
Melissa brought her hoop.
I didn't get any pictures of jess in the booth but she did a video of her hooping on the grass there. Maybe she'll send it to me :)
I ended up doing really well at the show even though it started raining! I actually had people buying things while it was raining on them and getting the stuff on the edge of the table wet. Almost everything I have is all fabric so it dries out fine so that is good! Now I'm debating on doing another show next month. Sounds like it might be fun! But work too lol.
Sunday we went to my brother's house for Ava's birthday party. I can't believe she is 6 already. The kids sure are growing up fast. She got a lot of Spirit horses, I guess that's the thing now. Funny how things go away and come back slightly different.
Now I'm trying to decide what to do with myself after all that stuff I had to do is done!
good job rain or not!! What pray tell are spirit horses? God I'm old
