If the nightingale will not sing, wait

Yes, good things will come to those with patience.? The show was vastly bet­ter today than yes­ter­day.? Foot traf­fic was def­i­nitely higher, and peo­ple were evi­dently in much more of a spend­ing mood.? We had one cou­ple that accounted for prob­a­bly over half our sales, as it turned out (though I don’t know for cer­tain as I have not totaled up the receipts yet).? They are get­ting into jew­elry mak­ing, tar­get­ing the RVer mar­ket, and both, but espe­cially the gen­tle­man, went wild for my boro sets.? Hooray!? I had been start­ing to think that no one loved them but me :-) .

Min took some pic­tures of our table.? This is the right side, with my beads:

Mincot’s? neck­lace didn’t sell, no sur­prise, but it drew a LOT of atten­tion to our work:

Lastly, here’s me at the booth:

Me beside the booth

I don’t have def­i­nite num­bers yet.? I’m too brain-​dead to dare run them tonight!? But things look like they ended up doing fairly well, and I’ll do a more thor­ough recap in a day or two.

    Great booth set up there lady! I’m glad you guys had good sales today. Always best to end on an UP note, eh?

    Thanks, sweetie!! I should add that the dis­play is 95% Frosty’s, and that she makes a good part­ner in the Crim­i­nal Temp­ta­tion of the Bead Buyer.

    The RV-​ing cou­ple were really some­thing! Aside from the bracelet of mine that he bought, I got the feel­ing that he was SO enam­oured of your boro sets that he bought some of my beads just to even out the sales … but his heart was SO in the boro sets. I was cheering–someone loved them! And the more you sell, the bet­ter for both, and vice versa.

    Good show … now I am going to SLEEP!
