This weekends fair...

Saturday I has my first fair of the season
and I have to be honest,
it was terrible!
I thought it would be packed for sure because it was really cold out,
but it seemed like no one even came to it!
The attendance was horrible,
which means the sales were just not going to happen.
It was my first fair like this
and although I was trying to be optimistic,
it was hard not to be disappointed.
This is my job,
so it is a bit disheartening when something like this happens...
I just hope this isn't the vibe for the year!


Anyway, on the positive side,
I was really happy with how my table set up looked.
I really hate doing displays.
(which is weird, even I would think I would like it)
And I was worried because my stock has expanded range past the general 6 or 8 foot table.
So I had been trying to think of ways to expand up
and my solution was the 3 shelf wire rack!
I wasn't quite sure how I was going to like it,
but I do!

I was really excited to be in the library again this year
and set up next to my friend Lara.
This room was a lot quieter and had these beautiful windows that looked out on the marsh behind the school!
Plus is was great natural light!




I was really excited about the manikin that was given to me,
even though the neck part was broken,
you can't even tell and it looks great on my table with my scarf and obi belt wrapped around it!





I love the way the colors all look together with these cowl scarves!
It was interesting to see how many people couldn't figure out what they were when they were laid out like this.
I guess they do look a little confusing...
Oh well.

Also, I will be posting some more new crocheted cuff bracelets and crocheted beach stones
today in the shop,
so keep an eye out!
And don't forget about the spring giveaway!

I hope you all had a great weekend.
Did you do anything new or exciting?

xoxo
