Good Weekend

The sales weren't as good at this show as last years, but way better than I'd expected during this economic fiasco.

The boy wasn't feeling well so the girl and I worked together to get everything all set up. I tried a different layout so I wasn't in front blocking the view. I liked it better.

One of my best customers, Cheryl, who already owns about 10 of my bags already, bought the travel bag with the knitting needle handles. She was so kind, telling me how this woman interrupted her while eating at Cracker Barrel to ask "Where did you get that bag." So nice.







I sold another skull bag. Those things are still popular and I have fun making them.







I did sell the little zipper pouch that I didn't care for the metal zipper. I had it priced to sell.





This couple from Sri lanka who were here visiting their niece came in. It was so adorable, the husband kept handing his wife bags he liked for her to check out. Most men wont even look at my tent let alone pick up a bag. They ended up buying two bags including this one that went perfect with the orange garment she was wearing. I met so many nice people!

We have a wonderful art center in town and they had a decorate your own tote activity, I broke away and made one for myself. They had paints and stampers and was quick and easy, and free!

After their soccer games, hubbie and the kids showed up. The girl went down to make a tote. She didn't use the stamps and was the only one I saw that day with a free hand decorated bag.

I love her artwork so much!

Such a happy bag, that pup with his hairy tail and little red tongue.

I wonder if she'll let me steal it?

So here's my sold tally.

9 bags

1 scarf

11 tissue packs

Not incredible but worth the effort.

I got to see a lot of artist friends and once again was inspired by all the talent there.

I have a small show is this Sunday. I won't have to make new items so I may actually get something done around here.
