I had a great couple of days at the craft fair in Ipswich. I was grateful for all the help that my young nephew gave me in set up and booth attendance. As I caught my breath I started to think about everything that went right in the last couple of days I realized,
- People really like my art.
- Say yes to opportunities even when I don’t fee quite ready
- Be nice, saying Hi and talking about the weather can go a long way.
- Give first, even if it is just a little shade on a hot day
- Let other people help and express gratitude
- Smiles and laughs are infectious
- Be myself as much as possible
- It’s not over ’til it’s over and not even then is it really final
- Give people space
- Share what I know or love
- Set goals and let them go
- It’s never a waste
- Trying to control everything just makes me crazy
- Follow up
- Create new goals

Sounds like a big success Linda. And the piece in your previous post is beautiful!
Sounds like a productive weekend all round. Thank you for saying all the thing I need to hear.
BTW, I got my Macbook in January and I LOVE IT. It has changed the way I am able to share my work and experience the work of others. Enjoy
Thanks Seth and Lottie.
I love my Mac! And thanks for sharing your insight and experience.
Lovely to hear such a possitive person. You’ve made my day.
The pluses of a crafts fair are often so unexpected. You sound like the kind the very best kind of booth neighbor. Congratulations on a great show.
