Whew, I've had a busy week!
Partly due to gearing up for the funnest event I was part of this weekend, which I really should have mentioned before! Prepare yourself, eye candy time.
When Laura (above in the red shirt) called me about this party / show she wanted to start, she was exhuberant and full of ideas and wanted me to be there and etc..etc.. I was like.."I dunno..Laura - I'm not sure if I would really fit in there with my stuff.." To her credit, she convinced me to be a vendor, even though up to the weekend before I kept wondering WHAT I was getting myself into.
I am now publicly eating my words and saying that this is totally the type of show I belong in. It was so much fun. We met so many local (and not local!) people in one short day's time that all came together for the love of scoring a deal, re-purposing, thrifting and finding cool stuff for their home.
It was a gathering of people embracing what I feel is being lost in "these days." Slow living. Taking time to make a meal and grind the wheat, even though bleached all purpose flower is easily available in the store.
Gathering fresh eggs and growing fresh vegetables because you understand the health and happy benefits from it.
Doing it with a friend because "work" is always better with two.
Appreciating the beauty of old, and the story those items have etched into them.
Eating.
Eating more.
Shopping more.
Our space was nice and bright. We sold samples upon samples of clothing, quilts, furniture.. We sold fabric bundles which went over like gang busters to my surprise. Not much of that going on with other vendors, so we lucked out a bit with a unique item.
Uh..this is not me. This is my bestie, who helped man the booth and sold some of her fantastic handmade wares with me. I don't know where I was.. but this is our space!
Thank you Prairie Sister's for inviting me to your party! I'll be back for sure next time!

Wish you had posted about this beforehand. I would have made the trip over for an event like that! Of course then I could have just continued on to Bozeman to visit my son. Is this an annual event?? Do tell!

Yeah, I could have hung out for a few days there! It's a place that I would have to go to by myself so that I didn't feel pressured to hurry through!
