Millstock 2009!!

Sat Jun 6, 2009, 5:45 PM
Whooo, a little swimmy from the glass of wine I had with dinner tonight (I ate almost nothing for the rest of the day; not sure why, I just wasn't hungry), but I wanted to post an update while I'm still feeling pretty darn upbeat about the Millstock Festival today.

Nathan and I set up in record time this morning, and the festival was almost twice as big as it was last year. (Forty craft booths; not too shabby for a small-town craft show.) I brought 73 pieces to sell, (along with some paper beads similar to the ones at this site: [link]) and I managed to make three times the amount of the registration fee, so WOOO for profit. I'm...actually a bit surprised I didn't make more; there were a LOT of people at the festival today. (There was even a fellow Deviant. *Waves madly* Hi! I wish I'd gotten your name! Leave a comment!) Everyone was very complimentary on all my jewelry, my Faux Typewriter Key choker got a lot of laughs (for obvious reasons [link]) and the favorite of the day seemed to be the "Hello...?" pendant [link] . EVERYBODY thought that was so clever, and so cute. Did anyone buy it? No. So it's still for sale, if anyone's interested.

I don't mean to be flippant about people who compliment but don't buy. It's really gratifying to watch someone walking past, glancing casually at the booths, then stop, stare, and back up so they can take a closer look at the jewelry. And the children at the festival? Were fascinated. This is even more gratifying, because I don't find that children can fake being interested in something.

All in all it was a fun day. Oh and the paper beads I made? Other than the two I sold for 10 cents each, they were good for starting conversations and taking up space. So I have some of those for sale too. :)
