Well, it wasn't really a SHOW, but the preparation was the same and it really was as important for me. Someone contacted me through Etsy, asking if I wanted to participate in a craft boutique (that is the official name) at her house in Pasadena. At the beginning I thought it was a kind of spam, no much information about the event, but finally and after asking her for a table to borrow, I decided to go. The only problem was that I only had about 5 days to prepare the thing, and since it was my first time, I was totally stressed. But when me and Cris got there, he chose the spot (awesome!), and we opened the table, I felt like if I had done this every week! So he left, I set up the table and just enjoyed.
Actually, I enjoyed the place more than the sales, that weren't much, actually, almost nothing, but it was really relaxing to be under those lemon trees, I met some people, and it was a kind of practice for the next show.
Yeah! If the day before we hadn't came across a nice shop near The Container Store (buying some stuff for the set up of the table), everything would have been more disappointing. This shop was selling only handmade crafts and art, we asked a couple of questions (I have to say, I didn't start the chat... shame on me!), and they ended up asking me to participate in their Alternative Arts Market, that they make once every month. This month it will be this weekend, which is when the Holiday sales begin (for those of you who are not so well versed in American culture). So, I've been very excited and hopeful that this is gonna be IT. If not, well, I tried it all!
Is gonna be Saturday and Sunday, hopefully there will be enough people to make me busy! (the other day in the boutique I almost took a nap... THAT relaxed I was.
Well, it looks like I'm writing today!
Wish me luck!
