Whew!

I had a booth at the Market at St. Stephen's on this past Saturday. It was the opening day of the market, and it was pretty busy. And hot! I guess spring-almost-summer has arrived in Richmond, VA! I think it was over 90 degrees, totally sunny, and insanely windy. I forgot my tent weights and one of my earring stands kept getting blown off the table. At least nothing got broken.

I also forgot my camera, so I didn't get any pictures of my display. Actually, I didn't forget my camera, I just thought I did, and I found it in my purse as I was packing up to go home. Ack!

The market wasn't the best for me....most people were more interested in the freshly-picked strawberries!...but I had a lot of interest, and that is always a good thing. I'm looking forward to going back next Saturday.

Right now, though, I am going crAAAAzy working on at least three custom orders, two that are due this week, and one due next week...but this is all good, right? :) I swear, when it rains around here, it really pours!

In other news, my dad was visiting us and my brother for the past month (Dad lives in Miami), and last week, we took the little kids to the zoo. It was great fun, as always, and my son Noah even fed the giraffes!

It was a great day, and I'm sorry that my dad had to go back home today, but I am always so grateful that he is able to make the trip up here and stay with us.

I think I should get to bed now. More beadmaking must happen in the morning....
