Yesterday the first Craft Fair and it was great. Weather perfect, sunny, in the 80’s with a breeze. Especially after weeks of rain. We did have to close up about 30 min earlier due to a storm coming in. Ashley made it home about 10 min from the venue and as she was unloading the car was hit in the head by quarter size hail. That was close.
We we set for the fair by what we sold the most of last year and was asked for. More items for kids and so we had more kids items. This year we were bombarded with request for adult bibs, walker bags, and wheelchair arm bags. So I came home and did some research for bibs for the elderly, but what I have found are oversize bibs. Not what I am looking for, so back to the drawing board. For the men I think the front of a man’s shirt and velcro in the back of the shirt collar, and something pretty for the ladies. Any ideas? I hate the idea of our parents, grandparents can be treated so undignified. I was raised with 3 generations in one home and Grandma was treated with respect no matter how forgetful she was. I won’t get on that soap box. That is what I will be working on for the next few weeks. We are also making about 20 wheelchair bags, and walker bags to give to an assisted living center.
Now to share some photos of our booth Saturday.
