19 months ago I did a craft fair that I knew I shouldn't do. But the space was only $30, the venue was close to home and I thought even though they did minimal advertising, what the hell. I was surrounded by hipsters with glue guns who made "reclaimed" and "eco-friendly" objects of someone's idea of art. I sold nothing and wasted an entire day.
Today I did a craft fair that I knew I shouldn't do. The space and two tables were only $70, the venue was close to home and I thought even though they did no advertising, what the hell. I was surrounded by wonderful people with interesting things and most of them my contemporaries. I sold a bracelet, a pair of earrings, a necklace, and 6 greeting cards. I made $75.
(You may admire my lovely assistant.)
My question is: does this sound like progress?
There will be more later, once I figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up.
