The Wind was in the Willows...

and our outside booth yesterday!

Imagine

30 mile and hour gusts...all. day. long.

Thank God-and Bob (thank you, Bob!)

we had a pop up up secured with cement blocks

so we weren't chasing the tent around the parking lot

but we were chasing our various items for sale

around it!

All in all,

it was fun.

Not as profitable as we hoped-but not a total bust, either.

We both made our booth space cost back and then some.

I had wayyyyy too much stuff on my table.

Far too cluttered looking

so I will be paring down what I take the next show

Dec. 3rd

and perusing sites for more ideas

on CATNIP items--by far, yet again,

my best seller!

And Holly Days is always sentimental

and I get a little teary and choked up

as it's where Theresa and I met!

Thanks again, to Bob.

He asked if I needed help breaking my booth down

as his wife was across the way

and he'd be willing to help me, too, if I needed it...

and by the way, she stamps, too...

So I wandered over...we got to talking

and I said

"let's exchange phone numbers and maybe we can go

shopping together sometime..."

Fast forward (we think!) 6 years now...

and countless shopping trips later...

and we're still great friends...

through it all.

Her smile and her laugh are great--

so's her heart!

I never ever remember

to have someone take a picture of the two of us! GRRR!

Anyway-

from Bob helping with the pop-up and bringing us breakfast

(and plant stands!--inside joke there)

to he, Michael, Theresa, Mary Beth and Sharon B.

 helping me pack everything back up and cart it all to the truck

(and my hubby for loaning me his truck!)

it was fun and worth all the sore muscles I've got today.

And boy howdy-there are a lot of them!!!

Sigh.

But-Flylady would be proud of me-

it's all neatly counted, restored

and ready to go for the next one.

Today...I can rest...

after I do some room rescues...

hot coffee, hot bath, good book...

a cat in my lap...

hmm--if that's  not  motivation I don't know what is!

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
