I just got back from a very soggy Erie, Pa. I enjoyed the show even with the rain. It is so nice doing shows where you meet new and interesting people. I think that is why I enjoy doing shows - besides hopefully making money.
I have not been doing shows very long but I have enjoyed my experiences very much. Each show is different and I learn something different from each one. The show at The Southside works was awesome in part because I saw so many people that I have known in "previous lives"- ex-students,ex-colleagues, ex-student's parents, etc. In addition, I made a little money which is always a good thing.
In Erie, I met new people and learned to always bring a second pair of shoes with you. The wind and rain definitely impacted the show but the other vendors were interesting, the food was good (assuming you like vendor food -which I do!), and the patrons were upbeat. I am planning to go back up to Erie in the nice weather to walk the beach and look for sea glass. I would like to work with more found objects in my jewelry.
It will be nice to have next weekend off and then it is on to Irwin for Heritage days. See you next post.
