Reeds Lake Art Festival  June 15, 2013

The nice thing about Reeds Lake Art Festival is that it really is an art fair and not a festival. If there was a kettle corn stand somewhere for once it was not in front of my booth!

One day shows are great but exhausting since the load-in and load-out are all on the same day’s energy. It did rain a little but the crowds were not put off by the drips and came right back when it stopped. Many just pulled out the umbrellas and kept right on shopping. I was located on the far end of Wealthy Street near the parking garage. I was very pleased with booth 107 as compared to last year when I was on a bump-out curve. The location made it relatively easy to load-in and load-out.

I had some self-identified return buyers who actually bought additional pieces! This is always good. I had several buyers interested in larger canvas sizes, and I think they really were as I had post show conversations with them. This did not result in any sales but often people talk about larger sizes and really are not serious. I sold two 20 x 30 canvas - Rarely Perfect & Hummingbird. Usually I might sell one. I was pleased.

The shoppers were interested in buying and that is always good. I could have wished to have sold more but I always wish I could sell more. I was just pleased that the ‘tourists’ and ‘tattoos’ were few. The lawn ornaments were quality. The crowds were steady and of good size throughout the day.

This is a definite keeper.
