Ah well...it was the best of times it was the worst of times....ok, maybe a little too dramatic. The day started off pretty well, no rain once we arrived, and sunshine! That lasted until about 3:30 at which point a monsoon swept through the quiet downtown area of Burlington. I was VERY lucky to have my husband, best friend Jessica, and friends Dan + Jane there. They acted quickly to gather my goods into the store behind us. I think I only lost about 8 calendars. I cannot complain!! This poor man across from us in the street, had his tent canopy blow away, and a ton of broken frames/artwork! This being my first art festival experience, was a good one to learn some of the weather related events that can occur. Sales were slow, but lots of good comments and potential leads, and definitely a cherished day with husband and friends. Some pictures below to show my setup. How did Mark and Jessica elude the camera....hmmm...? Hope you all had a great Memorial Day! xo-Emiko

Oh my...so sorry about the weather! Boo.........
.......but your tables were ROCKIN', and I'm so glad you had a great time! xo
I had the same thing happen at my first street fair. UGH. I LOVE the idea of the using the suitcases I have several myself.
Congrats on the show! What a great idea using the suitcases! Your tables looked awesome!
Hey Emi
Markets can certainly be stressful can't they - there is always an element of uncertainty! Sorry to hear the weather was so wild... but your stall and styling look fantastic. Loove the suitcases.
Love the suitcases - what a creative idea! Your tables look so very nice.
Your set up looks great! There'll always be some good and some bad shows, but always try to have fun. :)
Wow, I love the display! And you look adorable too. ;) I'm just getting used to the festival scene too--each time I learn a lot, even though I've yet to have a hugely profitable day. Sorry about the bad weather--but at least it was at the end!
such a cute display
