May 12-13, 2007 Downtown Bethlehem Fine Arts & Crafts Show

I have to say, I really enjoyed this show. I really NEEDED this show, and I am ecstatic that it was a good show. First, it was just amazing to me to be able to get up on Saturday without an alarm, puddle around the house, and still be able to go set up and take part in a show. It is so close to my house and starts at 10 am, such a reasonable time, that the morning was just enjoyable. C and I went over and got set up around 8 am, and the grabbed a bagel for breakfast. Sales started a little slow and I was nervous but they picked up in the afternoon. K came over and helped me and C went back to the house to mow the lawn and do other necessary household chores. He came back and picked me up that evening and we went for hotdogs for dinner. That is another great thing- it ends at 5 pm so you have a chance at a real life that night as well…

The next day the show started at 11am and I even had time to get grocery shopping done before going to the show. Amazing. Once again it only lasted till 5, but sales on Sunday were 2/3 of Saturday which is pretty brisk for a Sunday (typically they are about ½ of Sat.)K came to help me again and I actually got to enjoy some of my day. I got to talk with friends and eat my lunch slowly for once, and I had the opportunity to use the loo when I needed too. I learned about a few new shows that I need to look into and I got a few ideas for new fragrances.

I haven’t finished my show paperwork, so I’ll update my best sellers later…
