  • holiday craft show

    Barn 2009  

     Last Saturday (the 5th) was the holiday craft show "Christmas in the Barn" in a nearby suburb. I've been in the same spot all 3 years I've participated, which is diagonal from the door, so people can see my booth right off. New for me this year was magnets & color note cards featuring print outs of my artwork. Those, along with original small matted paintings were a big hit, making it the most profitable show I've had in a couple years. The weather was cold, but clear and a good crowd turned out that was serious about shopping. A few friends & repeat customers turned up and a number of people were full of compliments for my work. I felt decent & was in a great mood, so had an enjoyable time. My sister came at the end to help me load the car & even carried stuff up to my apartment. It was an excellent end to an artistically busy year.
