I barely have the energy to say how bad the show was this year. First thing, I was set up in the wrong spot--the organizer gal gave me the wrong number on my acceptance letter. Then the furniture guy next to me with a double booth decided to take up about 6 booths, including one behind my booth. SO I spent the whole weekend ushering people through the front of my booth and out the back--all the while oohing and ahhing over the nice outdoor furniture.
Argh, double ARGH...I don't know if I am more mad at--rude, inconsiderate vendor who should have know better or the gal who organized the show--she said I should just give the people a sample as they walked through my booth. It just makes me want to cry--I paid over $200 for that space and I should not have been put in a position like that. But, what are you gonna do?
SO, I left the show early. My apologies to those of you that I may have missed on Monday. I stayed through the parade--with the marching ox and goose!!! I love small town parades! I was home about 3 pm and unloading all that soap that didn't sell. I must say though that I have the best group of artists friends. They were all so supportive of me through the whole ordeal. Thanks so much to Eve, Annie and Steph!
So, on to other matters. We have had almost 22 inches of rain. The garden is growing leaps and bounds. I have little ears of corn, tiny to fist size tomatoes, and lots of blooms on the pole beans, but, no pods yet. The cherry tomatoes just started blooming and the cantelope is starting to spread. No strawberries yet, but, two of the ones grown from seeds are coming up fine in spite of getting blasted by the rain.
