finally! My show report- I am sure you were all holding your breath, right?<\/p>\n

This past Sunday I was at the South End Open Market<\/a> with my Etsy street team, Boston Handmade<\/a>. I feel as though I passed some test because I survived my first rainy set-up. Real life doing an outdoor market. Here is a photo of the booth- mostly ready. I used a tent and thank goodness I had the sides, but the water pooled on the roof and dripped through in places. My banner got wet but survived just fine.<\/p>\n

The rain poured down all through the set up time, but mostly stopped by 10:30 or so and crowds started showing up around 11.<\/p>\n

I had a great day. My sales expectations were low since my prices are a lot higher then casual impulse buying. I sold a few things- that sweet yellow swaddled baby and one tiny world- both to repeat customers. The people who sell and the people who show up to buy are cheerful and enthusiastic. It is always fun.\u00c2\u00a0 I know that if I approached things differently, I would sell better.\u00c2\u00a0 If I want it to work for me, I need to go regularly and then people would get used to my work and the prices- that is how it works for me on Etsy and my blog. I just don’t have the energy to focus on both live markets and the internet marketing right now. And so, everything is in my Etsy shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The highlight of my day was a surprise visit from Kristin<\/a>! I knew she was going to be in Boston for a job and I am so glad she found the time to come to the market. I haven’t seen her in 2 years! Hurray for internet friends!<\/p>\n

Here is our Boston Handmade sign, before things got going in the morning.<\/p>\n
