I am really happy that I got to take part in this show. It was a really fun experience. I loved the opportunity to dress up, even though a few days were pretty darn hot.
The last day of the show wasn't that busy for me, but it was steady and we saw lots of friendly faces and I am ecstatic at the overall sales numbers for the week.
Load out was pretty easy. I can't believe we fit everything in the car. It was so packed I wasn't sure for a while if it would all fit. I don't know why it seemed much emptier when we went to set up, and we really didn't get too much while we were there. But although we had to push the seats up and were sort of uncomfortable on the way home, we made it. First thing to do today is to empty the van of all unnecessary items and to restock the unsold inventory.
I had a lot of fun getting to know Karen who was across from me. We knew each other in passing, but found out we really have a lot in common and I am sure we will be sharing pickling recipes and knitting patterns from now on.
I bought some of the most beautiful yarn while I was there, yummy pickles, and some herbs for the garden (couldn't pass those up for $1 each!).
I cannot believe the pile of laundry I have to do. Those big skirts take up so much room in the washer it will be two days before they are all done and packed away for next year. I will know in March if I will be at the 2012 show, and then I will have mom make me enough skirts for each day, get blouses, and shorts to wear under them too. My goal is not to have to do laundry the whole week.
Today is just catching up on life, bills, garden, emails, cleaning the house some, and getting to bed early. Also will go to knit night tonight and catch up with the girls I haven't seen in a few weeks. Hope I don't fall asleep in my knitting!
Today I also hope to get back on track eating properly and getting some exercise. We will see about the exercise today, my feet and legs still hurt from standing on the pavement for a week.
Still lots to do, this is my second busiest time of year (next to Christmas) but nine days are done and I am ready for more!
