every art/craft show i've ever done has sucked. today i finally broke the cycle! this is my tiny space in front of the bizarre bazaar, which ran from 9 to 5 today at the lawrence arts center. the table on the right held the bulk of the goods; the table on the left was for little people, with crayons and coloring books, to keep the tots occupied while parents shopped. i took a chance on the weather, which could have easily been lousy, but it turned out to be stellar, almost 60 degrees. i sold double my goal in both dollars and units, and finally got to meet a few people from the e-world live and in person! a big thank you to my family and so many of my friends who stopped by - especially to julie and stephanie who kept me sustained with hot chocolate, lunch, and brownies. hope to catch up on all of your worlds in the next few days - between posting every day and getting ready for the show, on top of the holiday and having the kids home, i've fallen woefully behind on visits. i will remedy that soon! but first, a bottle of beer, and then, sleep.
*p.s. the sale in the shop is still on through monday, november 29*

It was so great to see you today, Aimee! Glad it turned out to be a good one (weather AND traffic-wise)! Now enjoy your well-deserved beer and sleep!!
Hooray! THe setup looks great - lovely and colorful. I'm so glad you've beaten your bad fair mojo! Enjoy a good night's sleep tonight!
Super! So glad the weather cooperated and that the show was a success in every way.
Cheers!
That table looks great. So colourful and vibrant.
Yay!! And congratulations!
How colorful and delicious!
I agree w/painted fish studio... Your table looks so cheerful - how could people even consider passing without buying! & to think you set up a "kids table" - how cool is that!! I would love to visit Lawrence... it seems like such an artsy community!
the key is to get better at picking the right shows. You did it! Love the display. I knew you'd be a hit.
WOOT WOOT! Congratulations! Wow, look at that splash of color. Table looked GREAT! And so did the peg board. Rest well, my friend. You deserve it.
Artsyville is throwin' DOWN!
Congrats on your success at the Biz Baz, but mainly for setting and knocking your goals out of the park! :o)
[turns to person next to her] I know her, you know.
what a gorgeous set-up... sure to attract a crowd. And the weather - I always worry about the wind. How on earth did you cope with that? Very congrats are in order! {:-Deb

The mailbox made it!! Cute booth! Congrats on the sales too.
Thanks for another cheery post!
Oh Aimee, I'm just thrilled you did well in your Craft Fair!! Your stuff rocks and I be you got a lot of conversations started!! Heehee
Well good for you! I'm so glad your sale more than met your expectations. That's terrific! I'd have been by sooner to see this but I've been cooking since last Saturday (Thanksgiving and company) and finally got time to get on the internet today. Hope you get after fair business too!
Hey! Congrats on the great show!!! Your little spot looks gorgeous! Yay!
Your stall looked wonderful. I'm not surprised you sold so well - the display of your gorgeous work was a huge magnet like temptation. Well done on your sales. Cute & clever idea having something to keep the little ones occupied.
Kat :-)
sweet display! I'm *happy* you surpassed your sales goals. I have only ever done that once, but I'm hoping for huge success next weekend.
Hope you enjoyed some well-deserved post-show rest.
