A Day In The Park

The Maitland Art Festival this weekend was great! Did I make a lot of money? Nope. But it was great all the same. The setting was absolutely gorgeous - in a park, near a lake. The ducks, mallards and muscovies kept us entertained the entire weekend. The weather was wonderful - not too hot and not too cold. Perfect weather.

My booth faced the lake. I got wonderful compliments about my art. Even more interesting, the women kept asking about the necklace I had on. So, of course, I had to tell them that I was a jewelry designer too. I gave out as many jewelry business cards, as I did my art business cards.

Even though I did not sell any original paintings, I did sell many prints. I guess the economy has made everyone a little leery about spending money. I can't say I blame them. That is exactly what we have been doing too. Not spending money on things we don't need.

I was exhibiting my paintings at this show. Seeing the crowds at the jewelry booths made me wonder if perhaps I should have been exhibiting my jewelry, hmmm...! As you can see, hubby had the best time ever. The ducks loved him, he had food. He had them eating out of his hands - literally (grin). In the end, it felt like a mini vacation, just what the doctor ordered.
