This beautiful picture does not show how cold the day was this past Saturday at the 2016 Atkinson Women's Club Holiday Craft/Food Market. This fair is just a small fair inside this building, but is always a great time and a good sales day for me.
There are a few side rooms off the main hallway, of which my booth is in the first one to the left as you enter, and then at the end of the hallway is the main room with vendors all around the room and in the center. A lot of vendors prefer to be in the main room probably where a lot of action is, but I love the side rooms. Mine had myself and one other vendor, and I think we complimented each others items, and also we had a great atmosphere with our own Christmas music for ambiance! People entering the room remarked on the wonderful evergreen scent which at first some were bewildered thinking it was coming from the artificial wreaths and such from All Things Repurposed!
Between both of our booth set-ups, the room was full of holiday gifts and goodies, and very festive decorating.
The All Things Repurposed booth was manned by Bill and Linda from East Hampstead who are a married couple promoting this tasteful, country-ish store.
Olivia and Susan, I hope her mom doesn't see this post.....right you guys!?
Laura bought a few hearts from me, a large tree mosaic and a small heart mosaic, and allowed me to snap a pic of her lovely smile. Thanks Laura!
I was telling Bill from the Repurposed store that when I make things at the shows, boom....someone buys them and Krysten showed him that it was true because I just made the kissing ball 5 minutes ago and she liked it and scoffed it up. Now....sometimes people say to me, oh I don't look too good, as Krysten did, but as you can see, of course she does! Thanks Krysten!
Two of my favorite customers sought me out at this fair to purchase another item from me which warms my heart so much. Olivia purchased a small heart from me at the Londonderry Fair and saw this piece of art of mine. Afterwards, Susan, Olivia's grandmother, sent me a message on my website of their interest in it. It was one of my 2 first pieces I designed and made to venture out in a more intricate and artistic way, and I was so pleased to have them appreciate this. Thanks so much!
Angela bought a small curly maple heart that I just finished a few days ago. I had to handwrite the card with the wood type and inlay type info.....I am always on the run and catching up. Thanks Angela!
