Folkfest



Ok, here is my Folkfest report.
First of all: I was working very hard. Almost every night until.... I am not going to write it down! :-)
And finally the big day arrived. I was not nervous - this is very unusual for me. But it is true.
We arrived there at 11 a.m. I had one hour time to arrange my stall.

In my imagination the hall would have been crowded with people... but - of course - it wasn´t. From time to time some people came round and had a look at my Buttontails. And some told me how great my stuff was. One woman was very delighted with my Necklaces and she finally bought one. After that her mum (an older lady) came and she also was fascinated.
I was also very delighted to see some friends coming. I met Orla - she used to work together with Hendrik - I hadn´t seen her for ages. And my good old friend Gesa came along although she and her family had to go to Dublin afterwards. She bought some souvenirs.
It is also very difficult to treat the customers in the right way. If you only say *Hello* to them they feel watched and they get nervous. The best was just leave them - or more ignore them - and if they had any question smile at them and be *nice and friendly* hihi
In the end it was not to bad. I have had a good start. I really want to get involved in craft fairs. I think it is also a good way for me to do some work even with Marlin.
