After reading and replying to Ernie’s post I do feel kind of funny posting this but I have to. I went to my first “real” craft show over the weekend. They where looking for 10 to 15 thousand people to attend for a one day show. The both fee’s where great all together $75 for a 10x10. I had to borrow the tent and a table from friends, and I really spent a great deal of time in the past 2 week turning everything I could month on the lathe.
Not think I had enough stuff to make the day I backed up my 86 pieces. (Everything form small boxes to 13 x 6 bowls) and head off. I bought a book the day before incase I needed something to read.
By 9:15 I had paid for the space and it just keep going. I sold all but the biggest stuff I had. I came home with 11 pieces !!!!!!!!
I am still running on the high form this. What I wanted to do with this more then anything is thank all of you for sharing, helping and passing on the knowledge you have to guys like me that just love doing this.
If this show had not been 3 miles from my house and wife had not threaten to “get rid of some of my stuff” plus pushed me to do it I don’t know if I would have but I did. I think I am final completely engulfed in the vortex.
In the picture is my wonderful wife and our little girl. The picture was taken about noon. I had already sold a bunch by then.
