Well Saturday's Sale at the Jacklin Arts & Cultural Center was quite pleasant. This was the first sale in recent times. There were just five artist/vendors. And multiple singing groups! The sound was outstanding!!! The Jacklin is comprised of two old church buildings that have been moved to this location and joined together. We were set up in one half and the signers were in the main 'chapel' of the other half... and the resonance was something to behold.
As far as our sale went it was a mixed deal, but with future sales planned, the Center's director hopes to build up the number of artists as well as the number of customers. What was so interesting was who my customers were...well who one of them was...a 10 year old boy from one of the choirs was fascinated with my needle felted Treasure Pockets and talked it up to his parents enough that his father returned to buy it for him for Christmas. Amazing :)... but who knows...maybe he is a future fashion designer in the making! I can still picture the way his face lit up when he saw them, touched one and told his mother about it...really warms me to think of it.
I said it was a mixed deal...well that is because I spent more than I sold! One of the vendors had alpaca sweaters and jackets on sale for a really, really good price and I couldn't pass them up so in between customers I did some Christmas shopping as well as getting one for myself. All and all a very nice way to spend the day.
