Yesterday was a loooooooooooooooong day. We got up at 5:45 and started setting up around 7:30. I learned a few things from yesterdays experience. 1: I need to streamline how I set up my jewelry. 2: Good weather means less people at an indoor show. 3: I need a banner because even though my business cards and earring cards say it's ceramic jewelry, people still asked me what my beads were made of. 4: A smile goes a long way.
I got a lot of compliments on my table from the other vendors. They also gave me some wonderful tips and ideas which I'll be working on over the next few weeks.
Look how thrilled Colin is to be there! Hehe. Thank goodness he was there though. It really was a long day.
We spent two days staining all the wood displays. At first I wasn't sure of the color but they actually worked really well with the off-white/beige tablecloth.
I was thrilled when I sold the larger stoneware bowl on top of the crate. That was a new design!
Oh look, there I am!
So in celebration of finishing my first show of the year I thought I would do a giveaway.
If you would like the chance to win this pair of porcelain ammonite and stering silver earrings leave a comment on this post! If you would like a second chance to win these earrings post about my giveaway on your blog and then come back and leave a comment that you did so! Make certain I have a way to contact you, either via your blog or by leaving an email address in your comment! A winner will be randomly selected next Monday! Good luck!
