The Watters Creek Fine Art Festival was last weekend and I had a booth along with my partner in crime, Dale, where we sold our jewelry, shrines and various unique creations.
The weather was cold and dreary and the crowds were sparse. I guess most people were at home curled up in front of a football game all wrapped in a Snuggee. But not us! We braved the entire weekend, armed with a big pot of coffee and our boots.
Sales were slow, but we had fun. We made some new friends, had friends come by to visit and sampled the cuisine of Watters Creek. Tortilla soup from Mi Cocina, a gyro from Terra, the new Meditteranean restaurant, pizza from Grimaldi's. It was all delicious. Chloe and her band of houligans were there to help, too.
Since our creations are wonderfully glittery fun, we sprinkled gold glitter on the ground of our tent/store, to create a beautiful carpet. Turns out that the glitter stuck to people's feet and was tracked over every inch of the shopping center! Like fairy dust, it lifted our spirits. I drove by today and could still see glitter on the street. So, even though we didn't make as much money as we'd hoped, we did come in 3rd place in the People's Choice Award and spread a little glitter around.

Your booth looked great! Sorry the weather failed to cooperate, but at least you had a good time.
Jana, looks like a lot of cool stuff in your booth! Too bad the weather put a damper on sales.
Hey Jana, do you know about Barbara Kingsolver's new novel, The Lacuna? Due for release Nov. 3. Kahlo is a character in the book. Sounds good - getting good early reviews.
We rocked that bitch even as we froze to death! Whatev'...
I feel pretty good about glittering up an entire shopping area. I feel proud!
love ya~Dale
