Arts and Crafts Fair

So many of you know I shared a booth with my friend in the Arts and Crafts Fair here in our historic district. She sells cute hair bows and I thought it might be fun to sell some paintings. This past month I've been painting a lot and trying different styles and things. It's been a lot of fun! My expectations were to sell 2 or 3 paintings and just have a new experience, put my stuff out there and see what would happen. I took over 40 different paintings that were pretty fun (and took some old ones that have been in my garage for years) and ended up selling over 25! It was awesome! My sister-in-law Liz came over the night before and helped me price them out and Dave built two awesome super-sturdy lattice thingys to show off all of the paintings.

We woke up at 6:15 Saturday morning, were out the door by 6:45 and set up. The fair was from 8-4 and there was a really great turn out! It was fun to be a part of everything. I didn't sell anything for the first 2 1/2 hours and so I took my easel out and started painting. Jeff and Steph and Liz and Maren stopped by! I ended up steadily selling paintings the rest of the day! I even had one lady take the two she bought up to her friend who owns one of the stores on the street, "Not Too Shabby" who may want to start buying from me! So, it was a good time, my feet are tired but I now have some fun money to spend on Christmas!
