sexy_romulanWell, that went pretty damn well, if I do say so myself!
I sold two large pieces and two suncatchers (one of these last to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
briela - thank you!!), which puts me within $100 or $200 of my goal of financing a kiln and paints. I got a ton of compliments (which really was the best part). All kinds of people took business cards, including five or six who said they were building/renovating homes and might want pieces built to suit. There were at least a couple of people who seemed very interested in largish pieces who might be back tomorrow.
Big thank you toxnuala, amazon_syren, renegadelufin, briela, Jill, Chris, Scott and Mylan, all of whom came to visit me!
Of note:
* the cathedral trees sold within the first hour of the day, despite their size and price tag, and continued to attract a ton of attention all day.
* I need to find out if/how I can make this stuff weatherproof, since a couple people asked about it.
* I need a website, since a couple people asked after one.
* My prices are low. I need to fix this next time - nobody will be helped by my undercutting the market.
To bring tomorrow:
* Mailing list forms
* little table
Corey was a hero all day, helping me set up, subbing in for me so I could take bathroom breaks, bringing me stuff, and buying me a pair of earrings from another vendor "to mark the occasion". ♥ ♥ ♥ My parents were pretty heroic too, helping set up, bringing donuts and tea, and dropping by with encouragement/congratulations every now and again.
We got home around 7, whereupon I had a cold shower and waged brief but productive weed wars in the garden. Something is wrong with one of my peonies - from what the internet tells me I'm pretty sure it's botrytis, so I'd better go buy a fungicide. But for now I am in bed with a Miles Vorkosigan book and a strongbow.
Yay!!

Date: 2007-06-03 12:21 pm (UTC)(I went out and got cherries along with my already-cooked chicken. Thanks for reminding me how yummy they are. :-)
I wish you heaps of good luck for an equally successful day today - with the rain holding off until 7pm, and many people signing up for your mailing list and going "Oo! I want *that* one. Here, have money." :-)
Weather proofing = good idea. :-)
You'll bring a biiiiiig bottle of water today, yes? :-)
Also: I asked the fellow on the horse about why he had the horse (whose name - the horse, I mean - is 'Sir Neighsalot', by the way). He said that, in addition to letting him take a load off his feet (haha), the horse is interesting and amusing for the little children, and helps to keep the dogs in line (due to being four-legged - sort of - and much bigger than they are).
I confess, I'm not sure if it would *eally* work on the dogs. ;-)
Have fun today! :-D I will see you tomorrow @ the second cup! :-)
