After the craft sale....
I spent all day in the park in Henry, IL yesterday with tables full of cards, tiles and tumblers. The weather rocked. Low 80s with a wonderful breeze, just a delightful day and a lot of great people. I wanted to share the first card I sold. Which is funny, because it's one of the last cards I created. I think it's ego-building when someone loves a card that you love - it makes me feel as if I'm on track with my craft. I also got orders for 3 Vino2Go tumblers and sold the one I had for demo. I gave out a bunch of business cards and had inquiries about custom tiles. While I didn't make a huge amount of money, I made my rent and gas money and have orders to fill, but the advertisement was worth the trip. This isn't something I want to do ten hours a day. A few orders now and then leaves me time for gardening, card making and designing on the computer. Once upon a time I created muslin rabbits and bears with really elaborate costumes that I sold for a ridiculously large amount of money. I had so many orders, my life was wrapped up in them. I barely had time to shower. And I already had a job. Which is something I don't ever, ever, ever, ever want again.
I hope your day yesterday was as good as mine and where ever you are today, make it a good one.
