Wow!! As fast as my big show came up on me--it's all over now. What an awesome show this was. Two weekends ago I was all set up to go.....
The weather was beautiful, and the crowds came in full force....
It was overwhelming on how many people were at this show!! And these people are here to buy and they really appreciate handcrafted items and art as well. The long hours of getting ready for this event were well worth it.
I was pretty depleted by the time the first weekend was over, so the next week I rushed to make some quick art by recycling my old pieces...
Even though these are prints of mine, I was able to give them a fresh new look. So I was able to fill the walls of my booth again along with my Christmas florals.
I did make a point of making one new piece for the next weekend though....

This was a fairly large piece, and I finished it up on the Thursday before I had to leave again. Usually these pieces take a while to sell, but not at this show--less than 48 hours from when I had finished it--it sold! Yeah--that's how good this show is.
And remember all of my whimsy houses from my last 3 posts?--all sold but one! I'm telling you--this show is awesome! So the piece that didn't find a home is now in my Etsy shop--
I feel bad that this little birdie didn't find a home---so if anyone wants to give him one, you can find him HERE.
And did I mention how delicious the food was there?? I had a steady diet of the deep fried pickles there--absolutely delicious!!
I was sad to say goodbye to this place :- (
......until next year...
So now I'm taking a little breather, but just a little one, because I have one more show at the end of November, and I'm starting to work on some new art...

....but now I'm able to enjoy the process a bit.....
