One event wrapped
Oct. 9th, 2011 11:31 amYesterday was the Art Walk. I had a much better spot this year and the entire layout was better, and I didn't do too bad with sales. The only down sides were that the spot was VERY sunny, and we were being dive-bombed by pincher-bugs WTF. We were right in front of a rosemary bush that was covered by bees and that's what we were expecting to have to deal with, but the bees were pretty much minding their own business. What kept invading were pincher-bugs. Apparently earwigs can fly, which is news to me. No idea what they were doing out and about in broad daylight (they're supposed to be nocturnal!) but they were landing all over the place.
Otherwise, aside from an epic display fail at the beginning of the day (there's a picture over on facebook), it went pretty smoothly. I thought ahead for once and brought a parasol, one I got in Disneyland when I was 13 and have never used, so the sun was tolerable. Mom played support staff and did food runs and the like. I made back table fees plus a little that'll let me buy some supplies I've been needing. I'll probably be making a trip to Altamont Beads and Treasures before long for some silver wire, and I need more ear posts. I'd also like to get some small split-rings and a split-ring tool.
The shop's back up with the sold items removed, and I'll try to add more over the next few weeks. I'm getting a better idea of what sells and what doesn't, though a lot of it is still pretty hap-hazard.
