I'm going to start off with a reminder that tomorrow is the final block on our Sentimental Journey! Hop back over for a giveaway too!
Thanks so much to all of you for your well wishes on the show. I had a wonderful time and could have spent everything I made buying things from other artists! There was some incredible talent there. I even saw people I hadn't seen in 15 years! That was so cool! A special shout out to Jeanne for making the long drive up to see me! That was so great!
Here are a few photos.
A few years ago, they remodeled the convention center and made it into this modern building. Oh how I miss living in a city. There are over 2 million people that live in the Hampton Roads area. There is so much to do and see. I may dress like a country girl, but I'm a city girl at heart.
David even took a picture of the marquee out front. Too funny.
My booth was suppose to be 10' x 10'. However, when we got there it was more like 15' x 10'! Yikes!!! Needless to say my space looked a wee bit sparse, but we just ran with it. They also put me right across from a big food vendor again. What is it with me being near all the food when I have the all white booth?! Oy!
My hat was a huge success. I think I could have made a fortune selling them! Everyone smiled when they saw me, well almost everyone. One guy just stared at me for a while until I crossed my eyes at him, then he laughed. One fella said, "oh look, a playboy bunny!" I said, "I wish! If I was a playboy bunny, I would be rich and not doing craft shows!" Everyone busted out laughing.
My booth was suppose to have all white curtains in it too, but this one red one got stuck in there. It was OK though as that's where the checkout line was. That big ol' stain on the white one was gross and ugly too. You know I'm a clean freak and that was totally freaking me out!
Lots of people looked at the bunny pictures and talked about rabbit rescue with me. That was a really great opportunity to spread the word about these wonderful little creatures.
It took me over 2 hours to set it all up and only 25 minutes to break it down. So yes, I sold a bunch of things. I do however have a few items left and
I have put them in my Shop if you would like to hop over and take a look.
I have
one Wishing Star. I know there are two here, but only one is available. Hint, hint, hint for tomorrow's giveaway. ;)
Two Jingle Stars
and Two Kisses and Hugs Lavender Sachets (sometimes you want a kiss before a hug) hee,hee,hee.
Three Jingle Trees
Four Hugs and Kisses Lavender Sachets
and Five Love Lavender Sachets
It was a lot of fun doing the show, but also a lot of hard work and expensive. I may end up doing quarterly web shows instead. Plus, then I can stay home and be with the bunnies. It was hard to be away from them for so long.
See ya tomorrow!
