Best Day Ever at the Market

Thanks to all who visited my booth, I had my best day ever in pottery sales. At one point the aisles were so full, folks drifted into booths just to get away from the crowds. Preparing for the market, I wished I had some heavenly bamboo, Nandina domestica, berries as in the arrangement above from years ago. However, Gary cut pine boughs which I used to decorate for the Kris Kringle Market.
Several of my repeat customers came to tell me how much they like the pieces they've bought in the past, which is always nice to hear. One woman said she brought one of my driftwood handled pieces to a florist to have an arrangement made for it. The florist told her she would make a loose arrangement to be sure not to obscure the driftwood. While she was working on the arrangement several other shoppers remarked how much they liked my work. Word of mouth is the best advertisement. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  1. WONDERFUL news. I hope that the florist gets in touch with you. It sounds like a business relationship which could be very good for both of you.

    1. Hi Barbara, thanks, the weather had a lot to do with it but there were for some reason more visitors than usual and a completely different crowd. one woman was from Nicaragua and told us about the monkeys there and all the sea turtles who hatch out.
