…to take pictures of our booth all set up and fancy. Oh well, maybe next time. We both had our cameras out and everything. So here are some photos of us cleaning up and stowing away for the next crafty goodness sale:
Not very impressive, eh? I was selling alongside my Aunt, Theresa May-O’Brien, and my mom, Barb May, also showed some of her pottery, which included some fantastic leaf plates and ornaments that she made by pressing real leaves into the surface of the pottery to get the veining and shapes — so gorgeous! We all did pretty well considering it was a very small fair and attendance was low this year, as I’m sure it is everywhere for this kind of thing right now, people aren’t really spending or having any disposible income to spend. But thankfully some folks were excited to spend what they had on some of our crafty wares — including my needle-felted acorns and fabric peace crane ornaments, and Theresa’s beautiful felted scarves. We had fun hanging out together for the day and some good friends and family stopped by to cheer us on, which was great. I think this experince was great practice for me for my upcoming fairs in December, and for that I’m grateful. Thanks, Richmond School, you’re always there for me, and you are the best!
{sidenote: how embarassing is it to not be good at simple arithmatic like adding 5% tax while selling work in your very own elementary/middle school? Very. Very embarassing. Hah. I better bone up on the ol’ arithmatic before Design Hive. Or just remember to bring a calculator.
