I was loving reminded today that when I am in gratitude, I am not in self pity…That is where I aspire to be…With that said, on with the show…
This is my 4th year doing the Carlsbad Village Street Faire, which is held twice a year, the first Sunday in May and the first Sunday in November. This show is not a juried show and consequently, brings in all sorts of vendors, many selling imports. In the past, this was my busiest show of the year, but this time it took a major hit for me, and most of the vendors I talked to. If it were not for my returning patrons, my sales really would have been down
One of the artisans blamed the disappointing sales on high gas costs. I know one thing for sure; there were certainly enough people walking around and the weather was beautiful.
To add insult to injury, two of my most expensive designs, a sold silver hammered ring and a solid silver hammered cuff were stolen. With the price of silver soaring to almost $50 an once, you can only imagine how upsetting this was. I can only hope the November show is back on track with great sales and no theft.
