Well, after spending 31 days in the hospital and three surgeries later, I finally got out and had about a week to get ready for an arts & crafts festival in Easley. A few pictures......

Thanks Roger. My son and daughter-in-law did most of the work for the festival and I have been taking it easy. It's probably going to be at least another month before I'm up to speed.

Allen,
I went there with very low expectatons and that was a good thing. Sales $= 0. Arts & Crafts festivals are more geared toward the "flee market" crowd. As one vendor told me long ago, "If I was selling 20.00 bills for 10.00 they would have to go home to get the money. My main goal was to make some contacts and that happened. Quite a few people took flyers and cards (later sales I hope) and I was put in touch with two more galleries. So, all and all, it was a good day even though I didn't sell anything.

Ed, nice works, glad you are feeling better, i hate it when someone has no intention of buying, but has to handle everything

Ed, sorry about no sales, but sounds like you were OK with the event, as a whole. Glad you are back on the mend - you sure have had your share of health issues!

Surgery and hospitals are in my Top 5 Ed...right behind standing in line and filling out forms. Although sales are slow everywhere, you have a nice display and really good work. Just like you...sales will get better;)

Sorry to hear that you didn't have any sales... but hopefully some of the contacts made during the day will lead to some! Hope your health continues to improve!!
