Recently I participated in a weekend art show at a local garden center. Their gift shop has started carrying some of my photography cards, and when I talked to the owner, she invited me to come set up a table for free. I had less than two weeks to prepare, but since it seemed like a good opportunity for a little bit of exposure, I decided to go for it!
I was to be one of 4 local artists displaying their work at the greenhouse. The week before the event I was scurrying to get together the several new cards that were already planned to come out this spring. Two days before the show, Mom and I discovered a going-out-of-business sale and snapped up for $8 the only greeting card rack left. This rack was very useful for showcasing my cards.
I was very glad to have the excellent help and company of Sarah the first day and Mom the next. The weather complicated things, not to mention affected the turnout. As you can see, we had to quickly cover the table and rack when the intermittent rain began. We ended up staying for just the morning hours both days. A grand total of 5 people entered my giveaway, but the Lord allowed me to make one sale just as I was taking everything down. Even if somewhat disappointing, the show was an interesting experience.
