Bloom Market was a great success, and I had a wonderful time selling my work. Notebooks sold like hot cakes, and I learned a valuable lesson for my next fair: Mothers can NOT resist personalization. Every notebook I sold ended up with custom ink lettering. So fun.
My hand-illustrated bookmarks and pom pom garland also did very well.
The fair would not have gone so smoothly by half if my bff roomie and assistant, Amber had not been there. She handled receipts and notet-aking, and watched the table when I had to take bathroom breaks.
Not to mention the emotional support of having her there: we didn't get to talk a lot, as we each sat on opposite ends of the table, but there is nothing so reassuring as looking up and seeing her smiling back at me.
Also, good news!
I have left-overs that I would love to share with you!
