A First

Today's the day I'm going to see if anyone wants to buy anything.... a very, very weird place for me to be.  BadAmy has been encouraging me to sell some of my little goodies, and I've been thinking I'd tag along on one of her sales.  She sets a terrific table, if you know what I mean.  When she puts things out for sale, they look so cute and cool, and the lighting and staging are perfect~~the whole package.  I have plenty of strengths but showcasing my stuff ain't one of them.  First and foremost, I have super concerns about if my stuff is worthy.  On the last post, I showed most of the goodies I'm going to try to sell.  I'm also adding live, fresh cut holly and ivy.  Get it?

The event today is the first attempt by the Village of Whitehouse's Arts Advisory Board to do a show and sale.  I think when they came up with the concept, they thought they'd get a couple dozen proven vendors, like BadAmy.  They also want it to be more of a fine arts show and sale.... not the more crafty crap I can handle.  But several weeks ago, they didn't have many vendors, so I figure I can at least take up some table space.  I also hoped BadAmy would have stuff--as in her fine fiber arts--but alas, she had a Cyber Monday sale and sold every cotton pickin' thing she had to sell.  Sheesh.  And there was no time to do more, since she has another club batch to do--that's nearly 100 skeins of hand-dyed yarn to prepare in less than 2 weeks. Yeah. (P.S. Did I mention that BadAmy's stuff sold out in 7 minutes after she posted it?  The discussion thread on Raverly ran over 900 comments and growing......)

So I'm going to lug my junk over to Village Hall and see what happens.  I'm praying they put me in a back corner somewhere..... arg......  I'm the first to admit that I'm the Queen of Hubris, especially when it comes to my programming abilities.  But I'm also the first to admit that this isn't really my thing, and I'm nearly sick to death over it.  Yikes.

The upside is that DH will don his Santa suit--the one I made for my Dad, and will charm the kiddies.  Or scare them silly!  Since we've all been involved in one way or another for this deal, I'm calling us
