offcntrThe weather finally breaks today, temperatures down a good 20°, mostly cloudy and breezy and people come out in droves. Busier and more populated than Friday and Saturday combined. A brief spatter of rain around 3 pm doesn't make a dent in the crowd, and when the show closes at 4 pm it's sunny and clearing up.
Everyone else is finally selling, and we do okay too, though not as well as either Friday or Saturday. Still having regular repeat customers dropping in, some new folks as well, including a woman from Montana who bought some things Friday, came back today with her husband to get more. If anything, he was more enthusiastic about the work than she was, made sure to take a card and note the website. I expect I'll be mailing pots to the mountains one of these days.
Sold a running rooster pattern teapot late in the day to close with a bang. Wound up selling exactly $1000 less than in Edmonds last weekend, which is more than respectable for a show and community this size.
The only sad thing is, we don't sample any of the festival food, beyond a couple scoops of ice cream. We normally pack a lunch, then buy supper on site, but it's just too hot to think about eating, so we wait until the show closes at 8 pm and look for someplace with a tolerable menu and serious air-conditioning.
