Whew... it's over

The Craft Fair that is and now I can breathe (and eat and sleep) again. I have to say, I don't think I did too bad for a first timer. I took to heart all of the great advice everyone gave me and I think my set up turned out pretty good.



Yes, that is a look of slight irritation on my face. Really a person can only have their picture taken so many times. My Farmboy got a new camera that morning and evidently chose me for his subject. But that is all I can complain about. I have to tell ya, I really think I'm the luckiest person in the world when it comes to that Farmboy! He was so there for me this weekend... 110% in every way imaginable! Love that guy!!!

Anyway, I was up until 2AM the night before making sure I had everything and that all was just right (OCD, yes I know). I set everything up in my sitting room just how I wanted it and then took a picture and printed it out. When I got to the church the next morning (with a Venti Caramel Macchiato and my picture in hand) I got everything set up in less than 30 minutes and then had nothing to do for the next hour and a half before the fair opened.

There was a really good turn out and I had quite a few friends show up too! A GINORMOUS THANK YOU to you guys! Totally made my day! My little family even came by in the middle of the day and hovered for awhile (that's my E, looking bored out of his mind, in the picture up there).

I finally got to meet my blogging friend Allie. And what an absolute sweetheart she is too! Look what she brought me!

Is that not the most wonderful stack of old sheet music?! Again, thank you SO much Allie! Don't forget to email me... we still need to do McKinney!

I did this show with a MeetUp group I'm a member of, which in my opinion, is such a great way to do a fair. It was really nice to have the support of other vendors set up right next to me. There were 7 of us all together. One of the seven was a fellow Etsy Cottage Style/ LolliShop member... Stevie of SugarLoveHoney. She is just as sweet as can be and I'm not the only one who thinks so! Capin' Davy Cannon Swine was quite taken with her. Bless her heart! When the pirate wasn't outside hitting all of the carnival games winning tickets, he was standing in front of Stevie's table talking nonstop to her. But that's just him and she was an absolute doll to sit and listen to his constant chatter. She made such an impression on him, he continued to talk about her all through the evening after the show! You have a fan Stevie!

And speaking of LolliShops, I need to give a big shout out to Sadie! Sadie was so sweet to feature me on the LolliShops blog this weekend. Thank you so much Sadie and thank you to all of you who stopped by over there and left such wonderfully sweet comments for me! I really, really appreciate it!

Okay, I'm off to focus on Silver Bella now. Have a beautiful Monday!
