It has been very warm

I would really like to thank everyone who came to visit us at the last couple of shows. Both weekends were so hot, I would not have ventured out had I not been signed up to sell stuff.

Mt Horeb is one of my favorite shows. I love the town, the victorian houses and the shops, especially Witchery Stitchery. I snuck out from my booth for a bit to look for a sampler that I want to stitch; they didn't have it, but they did have precious air conditioning, ahhh...

I did a quick tour of the show and didn't find anything to buy, which is a bit unusual. There was the usual amount of jewelry and also many many photographers.

Last weekend was Waunafest. What can I say about that show? It's been hit or miss for the last few years, and this year was a miss. I must say that the show organizer does a HORRIBLE job of spacing the jewelry people--she puts them all together in a row and across from each other, sigh. Few people, slow sales and some cranky crafters led to a looong day.

Our next few shows are all up north - flea markets, Loon Days, Paul Bunyon Fest and Crazy Days. Bob will be at them all. I will be hard at work at my real job and on a quick family vacation to W.V.

A Productive Day

Well...my last show was kind of slow, but I did get some stuff done:

1. Got through all my junk mail.
2. Read a few chapters of my book.
3. Read the latest Cloth Paper Scissors (love that magazine)
4. Got a lot of stitching done on the current sampler I'm working on.

I wish I'd had more customers (they were strangely lacking from this show), but it was a productive day and I was under a shelter and away from the sun.

Hope to see you all at Mt. Horeb this weekend!

Poynette Historic Home and Garden Tour

I will be in booth 4, which is under the shelter. Hope to see you there.

We planted corn in our hay field this year. It's growing FAST!

July 4, 2010

Thanks to everyone who came to see us this weekend. It was a hot one, but at least there was no rain.
It was our first time at Lodi. It was a nice show in a great setting.

I was disappointed with today's show. I've done this one for a few years and it has always been great; this year they added more booths and most seemed to be jewelry. Some of the vendors selling other things also added jewelry to their wares. It seems like everybody and their brother make jewelry these days, SIGH.

Bob will be at St. Germaine on Monday and Boulder on Tuesday.

I will be in Poynette next Saturday. I don't have all the details on this yet, I will post them as they become available.

The following weekend we will be at Mt. Horeb. We will be in our usual spot, however they seem to keep adding more booths, so not sure how far from the end we will be.

Happy 4th of July!
