A PEEK AT THE SHOW

Here we are at the Rayne Frog Festival in Rayne, Louisiana. All set up for the festival goers. That's Tina sitting in center of the booth. We set it up this way on Friday and like most women, by Saturday we had it all rearranged. These are a few of the cards and magnets Tina made for the show. Very nice.
My pendants. I sold a few.
Sold a few of the lampwork beads, also. The ladies that purchased them were so excited with the ones they selected.
Earrings for sale.
My clay pendants and pretty candle holders.
Merry old Saint Nick.
Lacey's gift boxes. She calls them Bogs. They are recycled boxes (cereal, bread crumbs, etc.) that she paints and embellishes. They are the cutest things you ever saw.
More stuff.

A feather wreath I made. Lots of red here.
A paperback book wreath I made. I saw this on one of the blogs and tried it. My hubby, daughter, and Lacey all felt it needed the bow. Lots of comments on this at the show. It was definitely a "I Hate It or Love It" thing.

The show would not be called a success as for as how much we made, but was a learning lesson for all three of us. I know we will do better next time.

First Day at Festival

What a day yesterday was. I'm tried and dazed. This is my first larger show. Apparently Friday is not a good show day. All the vendors were commenting on how there were no shoppers. But, the veterans said Saturday would be better. Well, we will see today. I sold a few things, but not quite what I was expecting. The other vendors have so many great items. I will try to take photos today.

Wish me luck.

Time to Slow Down

Just when I thought I was going to get a whole lot of stuff done, I get stopped in my tracks.

Last night I broke a tooth. So this morning, thanks to my wonderful daughter, I was able to see a dentist first thing. Bad news, I have to have it removed. Well, I have the Frog Festival next week. Not a good time. It appears I can wait till November 16 to have the tooth removed. Whew!!! That means I should be able to continue getting everything done next week.

I don't know about you, but I am scared to go to the dentist. My daughter thinks I'm nuts. She is an orthodontic assistant. This visit this morning was traumatic to me. She is to give me drugs before I even leave my home the day of the extraction. Some that will make me happy to go to the dentist. I'm thinking it will have to be some serious drugs to make me feel happy.

Also, for all of you who have new joints, pay attention. I was unaware that if you have a new joint and am having dental work done, you must contact your doctor to get certain drugs from him to fight any bacteria from attaching to the new joint (or something like that). That kind of blew my mind.

So, wish me well, because I will be trying to get everything I need done for the craft show next weekend done. This is my first really big show. I am very nervous. Someone told me that I need to just do it and not worry about if I have enough merchandise. When I run out (Ooooo, that sounds good) I just go home. Lets hope that is true.
