One more arts festival down. Saturday, at the Pawtucket Arts Festival, was a lot of fun. It started slow, but picked up as the day went on. I made a number of sales, but it wasn't quite what I had hoped. I may have also picked up a great wholesale account.
What truly made my day was being with the Arts in RI team. What a great group of people, and I'm not just talking talent. We all really get along, support each other and have fun while actually being productive...what a rare situation!
Our team leader, Julie (left-juliebcreative), and team comedian, Tracy (right-steppingstones).
Here are some honorable mentions from our day:
Julie (juliebcreative) wins the best (and kooky) team leader award.
Lisa (pinklemonadeboutique) and Kim (KimVGlass) both receive the award for best sales of the day.
Katie (PhriendlyK8) wins the first sales of the day award.
Layla (dollfacedesign) was the dog whisperer for the day.
