It was a pretty steady day and I think most of us vendors did fairly well. It was a lot of fun talking to people about the stuff I made. It was also fun seeing their reactions when I told them the soap came from milk from my own goat. People seemed pretty surprised at that!
I think my favorite customers of the day were the two little girls who were about 11 years old or so. They came to my table about 5 times to look at the little felted acorns, and I heard them naming each person they'd buy an acorn for. They came back at the end of the show with enough money in hand to buy 5 of the remaining 9 acorns. I made those acorns several years ago, and each craft show I'd bring them along and sell a few. I told the girls they could have all of the remaining acorns, and one said, "Are you sure?!" They seemed tickled pink when I said I was sure. I figured any girls dedicated enough to wool acorns to visit them 5 times during the show deserved all of them!

Your table looks fantastic! Look at all of the wonderful things you've made! Amazing! It's no wonder your items sold so well. I bet those girls were so happy! Is that David hiding behind the display? :) Congratulations on a great craft show!
Love the name of the craft show... cute story about the girls :)
That's great! It is so nice to hear people shopping local.
Yes Becky, that's David. I told him he either had to smile or hide, so he hid. :-)
What a great set up you have - a homier and warmer version of what Martha Stewart would have!! Your soaps are gorgeous! I dearly love your story of the acorns. I am so happy that David was there and I am tickled you did so well! One day I will be there with you! Love you, Momma
