A few weeks ago--my return to the artist market after a three week hiatus--got off to a pretty rocky start. I thought I had everything together, having not unpacked from the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival, but discovered pretty quickly that I had forgotten a few pretty important things. The result: my vanity mirror (the big middle piece) shattered into a million little pieces.
Good thing I'm not supersitious! In fact, I was determined not to let it get me down, and I had one of my best Saturdays yet, in spite of a seriously modified display.
Joanne, of Happy Fantastic, had a great idea--put cork and black velvet in place of the missing mirror. It was the perfect solution, allowing me to put up a sign, display necklaces, and still have the mirrors on the side. I went in with less stuff to sell, thanks to all the time being put into preparing for the Art Hop, but things still went great.
There are a half dozen or so artist markets left, and hopefully things will keep going as well as they have, if not better. I'll also be trying to get some of my things into stores and galleries around the state to sustain my momentum when the market ends.
