October 19, 2013
There is no question that this in a craft fair. It is even more so as time goes on, but it is well run and close to home. These are attributes which make it attractive.
I also have visits from people I know which is rare in non-local shows. Some of those that dropped by were: Clare & Ann Mortiz, Randy Roberts, Shirley Hall, Elaine Noffze, Connie Wolfe, Mary Jo Lott, and Charlene (last name?). Well it has been a while as all of these people were associated with Waverly Community Schools at one time or another. I appreciate folks coming by and saying hello. No purchase necessary!
Randy Roberts won my donated door prize (Wisteria 8 x 10). I really like it when people who win door prizes come by and say ‘thanks.’ He did. Appreciated!
I was in a new location in the main hallway which I liked. It was a bigger space and I could use all of my display walls, and put up about as much as I have in the way of canvas. I did not sell any canvas, but I had lots of browsers of my metal prints. I sold more than I did the last time I was in the show in 2011. The MSU football team won, against Purdue and the whole football thing did not slow did not slow the crowd down one bit as it has in the past.
I really appreciate it when previous customers say they have my work in their homes or offices. I had a number of customers come in to add to their collections. They do not always buy more, but their continued interest is appreciated.
No complaints except I wished I’d sold more, but I always wished I’d sold more. The sun was shinning when it was time to break down the display. I was appreciative of not having to carry out everything in a downpour!
On another note: I’ve decided to discontinue producing my calendar. I appreciate all the loyal customers over the years, but it never really took off. It is a quantity thing. I could not get the printing & bindery cost down enough, keep your cost down, maintain the quality, and not spend more than I was bringing in -- so it will not be produced. Sorry!
