….and only 44 more to go. No really, I added them all up this year including Farmer’s Market Days, that is how many shows I will be doing. (not number of days at shows). I guess I’d better get my ass in gear.
No grid walls. This is the first time I have managed to do a show without gridwall. They are evil, heavy and I HATE loading them in the car. So I just threw everything in the car that looked like it might fit on a table.
John was there for the set up, so most of the heavy lifting was out of my hands.
I spent a lot of time sketching out a complete set up last week. This barely resembles the intended set up.
Nice things about the show.
I had some sweet neighbours — Hank and Cheef — they have some amazing handkerchiefs (you will want some).
The energy and flow of the market was nice.
I had several friends drop by. Some of them shopped….
One irritating thing about the show. Chocolate. How can that be irritating, you ask? When the little sample papers end up on your table the entire day (and you yourself haven’t eaten any) —Well that is just downright cruel and unfair.
One last little look at the display…
Heading out for a big road trip to Whistler. There will be thrifting, yarn shopping and possibly gelato. Will keep you updated from the glorious final destination.
Lookie at all the great fibery goodness!!
Carmen, congrats on your latest conquests and successes! The show looked great. Can’t wait to see you at next month’s market! I’m saving now for the spring ‘collection’. Have fun ..and lotsa sales!.. in Whistler. May the chocolate be more forthcoming too. ;p See ya’ soon!
I clicked on the big pic of your table so that I could look at your items more closely … it was like looking at old friends. So many of those projects I’ve seen (and loved) before! The table looked terrific and I love the addition of the mirror. So inviting! If this is indicative of how all your shows will look, you won’t need me to wish you luck. You’re already perfect.
You are so sweet…I’ll be gone for a few days, we’ll get together when I get back.
Your table looked great, I couldn’t help assault your soft skeins. I hope the rest of your weekend went wirelessly smooth. Lovely to see you as always.
