Campout

I've been working very hard the past couple of days trying to get ready for my Market Day in Wimberley this Sat. and to get some of one of my wholesale orders started so I can start delivery next week. It's been fulfilling in that I can see just how much work I've done, but it's been a week with disruptions too. I've had workmen here the past two days putting a new face on the studio (front of the house) because the wood was rotting out.

I'm really looking forward to the Market this weekend. It's a camping trip of sorts. About 10 other vendor friends are in the same general area of the market, and all go up the day before to set up. We arrive in the afternoon and work awhile then visit back and forth as we work awhile and then visit awhile until dinner time when we walk to a nearby restaurant. Afterwards we work and visit until bedtime and sleep in our booths or vehicles. It's an early market, and is over at an early 3 p.m. We pack up and then all meet in town for an early dinner before everyone scatters to their homes. It's not the most profitable of shows, but a very nice change from the norm. The weather is going to be chilly, so I hope it'll make a nice holiday spending mood for our customers.
