Sweat and Sales

Just a few quick photos from my show, before I crash.  It was a warm (hot) sunny day. I drank tons of water, but only had one bathroom break.  Seriously, it all came out in sweat.  I felt like jumping in the fountain.



I intentionally took mostly small portable items, and I'm so glad I did.  They sold well. A very sweet customer was thrilled to get my vintage miniature chest.



My terracotta bust was one of the first things to sell.  The piece she's sitting in went right along with her.



My friend Bea was set up next to me.  She loved her, but someone else got her.  Stop making that face Bea.



On the other side was my friend Joy (Savvycityfarmer).



Of course she had a great display.



Sales were steady all day for me.  I didn't take enough photos, but what else is new?











There were some very creative souls set up.  Look at this chair from Cottage Industries,




and Suzi Schmidt's bejeweled designs.



Hubby and I drove home sweaty, and I'm still thinking I should have jumped in.



Getting some rest now.  See ya soon.

  7. Lovely things, Rosemary! You did good with pictures! : ) I'm glad to hear you had another successful sale. Yes, that fountain would have looked enticing here, too, since it seems the humidity is back again.

  8. It looks like a very nice show. Wish it was in my area. We had Brimfield Antiques this past weekend and it was just too hot to be out in the sun. Dealers had umbrella's and tents so it helped them. Those that were buying had to be in the sun. I went antiquing but stayed within the stores. Love that fountain...enjoy your rest..

  11. Jump in that fountain next time. I get in our sprinklers all the time and need to in this heat. Your smalls are lovely especially the bust. I cannot lift much furniture and do not buy much for that reason. Rest up.

  12. Congrats on another great sale day -- where was it at? Must have missed this if you mentioned it earlier. Can't believe this heat -- I think I would have at least dangled my toes in the fountain!

  20. Ohhhh, how I wish I could have been there Rosemary!!! It's really true, when you sweat a lot you don't need to pee at all. I've never sweat so much as I have here in FL, I sweat the second I step outside. My husbands forearms sweat along with the top of his hands, it's hilarious!

    Glad your show was a success:)

  22. The list of the price range so you can decide the appropriate size that will fit your budget. Some printing companies may also charge you for shipping fee so you have to prepare for that.

  24. These photo coasters also make for really good place card holders. The favor comes in sets of two and is finished off with a elegant organza bow to make for an excellent presentation.
