That must be the tallest candle stick ever. Well those folks have no clue what they missed.
ReplyDeleteYour booth looked fantastic, lots of great stuff! Even though the turn out was light, sounds like you did ok! Here in Nashville, they keep talking about doing away with the fairgrounds where our flea, which is really great, is held. They've come up with some pretty "stupid" ideas with what to do with the property like make it a park. It's close to industrial bldgs and a not so good neighborhood. Hopefully they will end up leaving it alone.

Jeanine,
ReplyDeleteMore than anything, I bet it was the Superbowl that kept your customers away. Superbowl Sunday is a massive sports day and most women probably had to be home to feed people. Don't be sad about it. We had the same experience once when we planned a play on Superbowl Sunday. Pitiful ticket sales so we switched days.
Yummy beautiful displays! Love that tray vignette! And the birdie linen. Oh yes a keeper! I love the one color thread. (The right color.) There's just no figuring shows is there!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you were doing the same thing as I was this past weekend. Selling chippies! I hada good show, but don't hink I sold one big piece on Saturday. Good thing Friday night all the serious shoppers came to my booth...it was crazy!
