My beloved husband was so kind to help all day. He is not a morning person because of his normal work schedule, but he was up before dawn, drove the hour long drive, and catered to my every need. (Maybe I've said it before, but it is worth saying again.... Tony is the very best husband EVER & I love him so much!) :) My sister-in-law, Robin, showed up to lend a hand also. She brought along a hooked pillow to whip the backing onto... her third rug. (She is hooked on hooking!) We both worked on hooking, punching, and whipping ~ demonstrating the mediums was a wonderful way to stir up conversation with the customers. (Thank you Jo Jo for suggesting it!)
Tony's other sister, Jo, and her husband, Russell, showed up to vist.... along with my Mom, and even my stepson, Jamie, and his sweet girlfriend. Having the family interest & support was more than a girl could ask. Thank you all!!!
I did take a few photos right after things were set out on the tables. The showing was inside the mall.... which isn't very well lit, so the photos are somewhat blurry. I wish I had taken more photos.... but guess I got carried away with the day.
Trinity did a good job helping set up. He put the gourds in the box (homegrown... and something to add to the table display LOL) and spread Mary Jane candies about.
Making new friends, sharing with family, showing my wares....it was a really nice time! I can't wait to do it again!
Smiles to ya....

Betty,
ReplyDeleteYour display looked great! I'm glad your open house was a success. I can't imagine it not being. Your items are just wonderful. You certainly have a wonderful hubby to do what he did. I can see you smiling as you type it....Thanks for your comment on my blog.

Betty, it was so great to see you and Robin! And I loved all of your show items ~~~ you've really been a busy girl.
ReplyDeleteI checked my card from last month and Judy's hook-in in scheduled for the 11th so you should be able to go and also attend Americus' Days.
It was nice to meet Tony (did he find that birthday party without too much trouble?) but I never realized Trinity and your mom were there too. Wish I could have met them also.
I'm so glad you decided to demonstrate hooking. To me, when you're looking at a hooked item, it's more fun if you can 'see' how it's actually made! And it gave you something to do to make the time go faster!
I'm glad I had the chance and the time to come see you. It really was an incredible open house!

P.S. I LOVE your hair! So cute and so free!
ReplyDeleteWow, your table looks amazing! And sounds like a incredibly wonderful day. Your family is just too special as are your friends. Wish I could have met Jojo and Robin. Next time ladies! Ok, and I end this with, we need a pic of your haircut! : )
ReplyDeleteBetty~
ReplyDeleteYour display of goodies looks awesome. It's incredible how much things you had to offer. Wish I could have been there! It's so nice that you had so much family to come by and visit with and help.
