This truly has been a week of highs and lows. Highs because I am happy to have found a place to sell my handcrafted items in Historic Downtown Littleton at Alamo Antiques, Boutique & Art Gallery. I am excited about this new venture.
Lows because this has been an exhausting few weeks. I have spent a lot of time sorting, tagging, packing my inventory for my booth at Alamo Antiques, Boutique & Art Gallery and for the CreativiTea Craft show. Every single item had to be tagged! CreativiTea craft show has a central checkout so this requires every item be tagged with my vendor number and price. The same for Alamo Antiques, Boutique & Art Gallery.
Yesterday, I setup my booth for CreativiTea. This space is smaller that most of the shows I have done....only 6 x 8! It was a challenge that required time and patience, but I am happy with the results. I managed to display everything I took with me.
I look forward to reading a book from my Nook (birthday gift from my husband and kids) during the CreativiTea craft show. I like interacting and talking to customers and other vendors, but I can also relax and enjoy a book during the slow times. This show is more relaxing because I can socialize but I don't have to worry about handling cash or the square (credit card sales) -- it will all be handled by the ladies of CreativiTea.
I also want to thank my friend Amy who has helped me so much this week. I would not of succeeded in this weeks endeavors without her help. She has picked up Alex from school on Tuesday so I could continue to setup by booth at Alamo Antiques, Boutique & Art Gallery and Thursday so I could setup by booth at CreativiTea....and she will pick him up today while I am at CreativiTea. My daughter Laura has also helped me this week by taking care of her brother Alex.
Here is more information on the 2 day show:

| I forgot my vintage linen bird tree which will go on the metal base with the snowmen clips. I will add that, along with the vintage embroidered linen birds this morning before the show opens. |
