lillian13Well, it was a chilly, kind of windy day today. If you were in the sun, it wasn't bad. But I was in a shady part of the show, not protected from the wind. I wore 3 layers most of the day and added my knitted fingerless gloves very early on. I got used to not feeling the end of my nose. :-) I'm just now thawing out, even with the heat on in my apartment.
But, it was sunny, and for most of the day I could escape to a sunny spot and bask to warm up. I also drank 2 very large containers of hot cocoa, which helped a lot. (I'm sure we lost sales in my area of the show because of the cold, since another area was sunny and mostly protected from the wind.) Sales were slow but steady, and my total was about 2/3 of what I did at Celtic Festival. Quite respectable, and I'll take it.
I once again sold out of my moon earrings (note: make more next time). Sold even more cufflinks--is there some kind of French cuff resurgence that I was not aware of?--and as usual, a lot of my coin bracelets.
Everything that needs to go into my house is unloaded from the wagon and I'll take the rest to the storage unit tomorrow after work. My lovely and amazing upstairs neighbor saw me unloading the car and immediately volunteered to help, which was great, since my back is singing the Ave Maria and my hands hurt. (Combo of the cold, my arthritis, and all the fun things I did to them this weekend.)
Tomorrow is my favorite part of a show--visiting the bank with the deposit. :-)
