Yesterday's Craft Market
It would have been a crashing bore except for three things.
#1) DH spent half the afternoon with me, at my booth.
He read his book and I knit on the commissioned shawl while tourists and locals alike strolled past my booth, totally oblivious to the wealth of fibrey treasures on my tables.
#2) My three year old granddaughter and the other grandmother showed up and as it had started to rain, they stayed for a while, in my nice dry booth, and we had a nice chat.
It rained on and off most of the day. I had to pull my three tables in, under my Walmart gazebo, as everything was getting wet.
#3) I sold a pair of fingerless gloves for $12.00.
At least I sold something and that's better than nothing.
This year everyone seems so unfriendly. I gave up giving passersby a cheery, "Good morning!" or "Hi!" Even the folks who were looking at my stuff ignored my friendly greeting. Last year, people (complete strangers) would stop to chat about knitting, spinning, pets, the weather..... This year I'd have to jump up on one of my tables and do a strip tease before anyone would notice me.
