Rosemary Has Left The Building

Only one day at the show this time.  Our van is misbehaving, so we're playing it safe.  The original intention was to come home, and reload a bit for the second day.  About three blocks from the show, the van started making a disturbing sound.  My husband thought perhaps the rear end was going out.  Ugh.  I told him we should just go back, pack it up, and try to make it home.  There wasn't much left in the booth, so it didn't take us long to pack.  The people who run the show were very understanding.  We headed off, prayed to make it back safely, and we did.  Mr. Van is being checked out tomorrow.

Experience has taught me that most customers are looking for gift items in December. So, I focused on small items, and they were popular.  I sold lots of my Christmas bags, clay tags, pillows, bottle brush trees in knobs, little vintage items, etc.  My dresser was the largest piece of furniture I had, and one of the first things to sell.  Once it was picked up at the end of the show, I was pretty empty.  Hence, the intention to reload.

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to take many photos, and that horrible glare I often get from the window was a real pain.

I was pretty tired to begin with.  I had orders to get out right before the show, I have orders to ship first thing tomorrow, and made-to-order items to make.  Maybe it wasn't meant for me to do two days, and my van knew it.  I slept long and hard last night, and woke up with many fresh ideas.

I'll be focusing on Christmas, Etsy, my house, by appointments, and so on, the rest of the year.  I also have a giveaway coming up.  So, keep an eye out.  See ya soon.
