Strawberry Festival Day

The weather was beyond perfect - a bit hot - but that beats rain and wind!  Upper Union Street was bustling with many people - it was truly the best day ever.  I had so many people at my table - giggling - pointing - asking where are you located?!!  It was joyful!  I'm really not a huge people person kind of gal - but - out of my shell I came yesterday! 

I'm excited to say - I received two possible pet portrait jobs and one baby shower invitation job!  It was a good day to be on Upper Union Street yesterday!

Strawberry Festival Eve

Tomorrow is the big day!  I'm finally finished with production and table set up.  I had quite the week not really knowing how to assemble my banner - thanks to Facebook - I had a few good suggestions - I found myself in Lows frantically searching high and low for what I thought would work - finally - I ended up at customer service making some hand gestures and trying to explain what I was looking for.  I ended up coming home with two 4" clamps - then the rest kind of fell into place.  I had a few hours of brainstorming - and I'm happy to say - I think between the clamps and the bed risers for the table - all is well....

The following photos show my table - I am so happy to be done at a reasonable hour.... Now I can shut down my studio and get a good night's rest.  The festival is from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 and the weather forecast is calling for 90 degree weather.  My goodness!!

What ARE TCards?

Always makes me want to sneeze

Was out on a small little hike a few weekends ago with the camera - and got a bit lucky....
Every time I see these... it makes me want to sneeeeeze!

Getting Ready for the Strawberry Festival

Tonight I sit in my studio - simply - overwhelmed.  Expectations that I've placed on myself and somehow feeling unorganized as I try to figure out how to place my banner on my table - It's about 2 inches too long!  Ugh.  I think I should sleep on it and not worry too much tonight ...

Anyway - here is my very small progress with setting up my display...

So much to do still....
