We had a wonderful day on Saturday at the Providence Art Festival. Gloomy and rainy as it has been in New England, for what seems like weeks now, lo and behold, the SUN made an unexpected appearance! Truly, nothing short of a miracle, as I woke up this morning to the familiar sound of rain! The festival began at 10:30 AM, but, setting up takes quite a while, and I was scheduled to arrive at 9AM. Well, by 10:30, the action began, and the traffic did not stop all day. I barely had time to take these couple of shots. I sold some of everything, framed 4x6 photos, matted 5x7 photos, jewelry and, yes, people, cards galore. Individually, they are only $3 a piece. (I sell them in my Etsy shop, 6 for $18, although I am considering selling individual cards...hmmm, may have to raise the price a bit....again, hmmmm) These are tough economic times, so the cards went flying off my tables. If I had a nickle for the number of times I said 'thank you' yesterday, I would be a rich woman. There was a great spirit, wonderful conversation, the gals on either side of me were friendly and warm, and I made a few dollars along the way. I always learn new things when I show my work, but this was outside, so the learning curve was just a little bit bigger. Now, I rest, then onto the next project....
