We did it! Our booth/pop up shop at Mulford Gardens Community Festival on Saturday, Oct 12 was a success.
The morning was foggy and the day cold, especially under the shade of the
massive pine trees we were setup near. The experience overall was a great one though
and gave us an opportunity to do a little market research and meet with potential
customers. We passed out plenty of business cards and had a few good sales.
There were some good vendors to check out as well, including one set up right
next to us by Michele Johnson. She wasn't selling, but had a nice display booth sharing a bit with the public on the old craft of paper quilling - which apparently was
almost extinct 10 years ago, but is making a bit of a comeback. The examples of
her work were very interesting and she was a great neighbor.
Today is another day and we'll move forward on some of the ideas we got from participating in the fair. To our new customers a Big Thank You, and a very special thanks to
one part of The Artful Aloe, Luchia and my great pal Corina for joining us and even bringing us some winter wear to keep us warm and then sitting tight to the end in the freezing cold. Looking forward to the next time.
