| Setting up my booth at Dunwoody, Georgia |

| A colored pencil friend, Cathy, stopped by! |
I've been preparing for the Dunwoody Art Festival for 6 months and now it has come and gone! I had a great time, sold some things, and learned alot! This was my first art festival and I felt like a true amateur...at least in the merchandising aspect of the show! We didn't spend tons on our display, because I really didn't know what to expect or whether we would be doing this again or not. So I have realized that if I do want to do more shows, I need to create a much better display for my booth. My assistant (my husband) and I really enjoyed it, even though it was a lot of work! We are exhausted this week!
There were 148 other artist booths in the show. I believe all of them were excellent at what they do! There were a few rookies there, like me, but many of the other artists were very helpful! They gave me lots of tips and suggestions on what I can to improve my booth. Which is definitely what I need to do.
Although we are looking for art festivals closer to home, we hope to return to Dunwoody next year. The festival was very well organized, with a lot of people coming through! So, thanks to Francis for inviting me to participate in the festival! I really appreciate your interest and support!

Congratulations on getting your feet wet! Oh and glad to hear you are breathing again. That's always a good thing! :-) Shows are exhausting. With so many other vendors, I am sure you came away with lots of ideas for your booth. Six months of prep and now the show is over? Go get some sleep!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAhh yes...I'm breathing and sleeping now. I didn't get much sleep either. So I'm looking forward to getting more sleep too! Thanks Teresa!
