Picnic in the Rain

the Picnic Music and Arts Festival came and went. and it was soo much fun, albeit really wet.

the first few hours looked like it would be a dry, mildly cloudy day. i had many sales, a lot of positive activity and met bunches of people that were interested in my work. it felt great. so much good energy. the whole fair was brimming with creative people. i was so happy to be a part of it.

and then a few hours in, the rain hit...and my tent was just not big enough for what i was storing underneath. we kept pushing things in towards the center of the tent to no avail...

the available dry sales space had shrunk to the point of our space being inhospitable. the faces of people began to look a little downtrodden and the energy kind of changed...and then things got wet, prints, despite our moving them...

so my 9 year old son who was helping me and i packed up and left a couple hours early.

but it was great...and if things had kept up the way they had started it would have been a perfect day. at least packing up early gave us the chance to look around. great wrk happening in southern maine, folks. i'm so proud to live around here and be a part of it.

there will be another fair on december 13th...so stay tuned!!!
