It wasn't only the temperature that was cold in White Bear Lake today at the Winterfest Craft and Art sale - so were my sales. This was the second event that I have participated in as a vendor and, while my product-line was well-received with people saying they "liked it," there just weren't enough of them coming through the door. Fortunately I covered my costs, but that's about it. So, what did I learn.... no matter how much you prepare, things can happen that are beyond your control.... today it was the sub-zero weather.
But I sure had a good time thanks to my all-day conversations with my daughter, Molly and her cousins Courtney and Katie. Oh the stories we told. My next and last show for the year will be in celebration of the winter solstice, Dec. 21 in Richfield. This one will be a celebration of the light, the new year and the promise of a new adventure in fabric.
