It was a very exhausting setup last night....neither my tent partner, Julia, nor I had a clue how to put up our tent. Julia got it used (no directions) and had set it up once...four years ago. Her memory is no better than mine. Let's just say we did, undid, redid a few times and ran around asking people questions. We did get the tent up and the propanels in place before it got too dark.....barely. Quite an orientation to art festival life! I dragged myself to my car and drove home thinking this may not be my cup of tea!
We got there early today and hung our paintings and made the final setup arrangements. Sunshine and lots of people.....this is more like it.....maybe this is my cup of tea. Then in the first hour I sold a painting, "Golden Barrel Cactus". Yeah....I think I do like it! Then I sold a second painting, "Sunflowers", and some cards. Yep!!! This is pretty great!! Funny how a couple of sales makes you forget all about the pain of the setup!
Now for the next challenge.....we are supposed to get some fairly significant storms with winds, rain and possible hail tomorrow night. Needless to say all exhibitors are on edge. We are going to take all our art out of the tent tomorrow at the end of the day (hopefully not in rain) and pray the tent is still there when we arrive Sunday morning. Cross your fingers for us.
I will let you know!
