You would really think that it's holiday time if you were to look at our show schedule. We had 2 shows scheduled this weekend. One was a 3 day show, the Papermill Market, & the other the Geranium Festival in McDonough, GA.
Luckily my dependable, friend, child care'er & sidekick stay at home mom was on hand to help Rinse be in two places at one time.
We avoided the rain on Friday at Papermill and wish I could say the same for Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was torrential downpour with lightening & thunder. Erika, my dear assistant for the weekend, was texting me updates throughout the afternoon. At one point there was a waterfall in front of our booth, but we were much better off than some of our fellow vendors.
Saturday at the Geranium Festival, just 45 minutes away from the Papermill Market we had about 2 minutes of light sprinkles and then bright sunny skies.
Sunday at Papermill was just a rainy day, but with none of the fan fair of lightening and thunder.
While the weather left a lot to be desired, the vendors & shoppers did not. We had so much fun chatting it up with all of our neighbors, shopping & eating that the time pretty much flew by. I was really reminded about how connected I feel because of Rinse. I have a great network of other small business owners. I shop with them, share stories, leads & words with them on a very regular basis.
There is nothing that I like better than to be complimented o a piece of jewelry, or a purse, or a scarf, or art in my home... and I can turn around and say "my friend is the designer..."
Thank you to all of the fantastic, creative & inspiring people that cross my path on a regular basis! You make wet weekends so much fun.
