Some Small Town Success


I am blogging from my booth in Quanah, TX.  Once again it’s the boot bling that is selling.  I am frustrated because I know its commercialization that sells and not the artistic and creative stuff that I love to do.  I suppose in order to keep enjoying the creative process selling the bling is the way to go. 

My partner and I are both exhausted from the drive and then getting set up and ready around eight o’clock this morning.  Quanah has only one place to get fast food – the Sonic.  So it’ll be cheeseburgers and tater tots for lunch. 

Other than the exhaustion, this has been a good day.  Sold three boot bling and the custom orders I designed picked up as well.  A few people took my card and said they would be contacting me about some other custom orders too.  

I’m starting to revert to infancy – I have to pee, I am hungry and I am sleepy.  Maybe I should have a tantrum?  Probably not the most efficient way to make my needs known.  I intentionally packed up charms and beads so that I could create while I sat here. My stupidity took over and I left all of my tools at home.

My Facebook page hit 200 likes yesterday and to celebrate I am offering free shipping on all the items in my Etsy store for an entire week.  Just use coupon code: FB200 to take advantage of this offer.

Most of the craft show traffic has died down.  There may be another wave closer to the Christmas parade time.  They had a cupcake bake-off and I enjoyed a yellow cup cake with cream cheese frosting and coconut topping.  My anxiety is good today  - this new drug seems to be helping as long as I take it at the right time. 

Day is over and overall I think it went very well. Thanks to all the family and friends who helped with everything: Especially my mother-in-law who really helped to enhance the presentation of my pieces and helped us with set up and tear down.
