The show was a great adventure for me. I had good sales, made great contacts, and have future sales from orders that I took. I think my booth looked good, and it was great hearing sincere compliments on my work even if people didn’t buy something. The stress of being there wasn’t as bad as I had expected. Dealing with all the wind on Fri. and Sat. was another thing though. But, those are the challenges of an outdoor show. I’m not deterred!
I will show next at the Aquinas Newman Center on the UNM campus on Sunday, Nov. 11. I will also have items in 2 silent auctions this fall. The first will be the “Festival of Trees” benefitting Catholic Charities on Nov. 7 at the Eldorado Hotel in Santa Fe. The second is the “Dismas House Brunch” fundraiser on Dec. 2 at the Embassy Suites in Albuquerque.
I’m committed to doing art shows for at least 3 years and hopefully many more. So, watch out for me at NM Arts and Crafts Show 2008 in June and at Weems Artfest 2008 next fall, both in Albuquerque.
I also included two new pieces at the show, here’s one of them: St. George
