What I did this weekend - Maple Valley Farmer's Market



Things I learned at this Farmer's Market this weekend.

In no particular order.....

- I did like a short day better than three day long show.
- It was great to have my booth partner, Lori Bergmann, back. YAY, someone to talk to.
- Rain sucks.
- Lori has the nicest husband, thanks for all the help setting up and taking down Kraig.
- Mist sucks.
- Farmer's Market food smell just as good as fair food and it is a little cheeper.
- Heavy mist sucks.
- Warm fair food goes cold very quickly.
- Setting up in the heavy mist/rain sucks.
- Tearing down in the heavy mist/rain really sucks.
- Being wet all day and looking like you just got out of the shower in your cloths sucks.
- Wet hair takes all day to dry.
- Really excited to hear a customer ask about Beads of Courage. Very cool! We told her about the concert in Seattle coming up.

- CUSTOMERS WILLING TO COME OUT IN THE DOWNPOUR ARE THE BEST. YAY!

Maple Valley Farmer's Market

This summer I am doing 7 weekends at my local Farmer's Market. Three of the Saturday's are this month and then 2 for the next two months. My friend Lori Bergmann, and I are sharing a table again this year. I have been busily making jewelry (necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings) as well as functional items (cell phone charms, key chains and ceiling fan pulls). I've got around 170 items ready to go. Whew, it was a lot of hard work. We had our first weekend last weekend, here is hoping this weekend is better than last. We are expecting warm dry weather, woo hoo.
Check us out at Rock Creek Elementary from 9-1 on Saturday.
