our 2nd market day - 05/28 - featured more vendors, but about the same amount of browser/buyers. hey, what do you expect on memorial day weekend? think of the debut market our tech rehearsal & this past saturday our full-dress rehearsal.
again, we featured john's artwork AND introduced bill's best bbq sauce, which we're repping on behalf of the fehon family. oh, and we sold decadently dipped chocolate-covered strawberries for a mere $1 - low cost makes for good kharma, as they are our kitty cottage fund raiser.
my crackers made their debut - for taste testing rather than purchase. the remaining crackers have a glorious future, part of next weekend's opening of a retrospective honoring the 10th anniversary of orchard artworks. how spiffy is that!!
bill's best was a hit - sold 8 bottles, plus one to myself to give the robinson family tomorrow (big grillers). john garnered the usual "ooooos" & "aaaahhhhs" and we raised $ for kitty cottage.
about kitty cottage - there were about 20 chocolate-covered strawberries left over. instead of divvying them up between gallaghers & staubs, as i would have last year, instead offered them to the first fb friend who'd give $10 as a kitty cottage contribution. diana glenn peterson asked if i'd swap the strawberries for 55 cans of fancy feast (purchased for her kitty, who then turned up her nose at wet food). the jackpot!! dropped by the strawberries & picked up the fancy feast, which we'll deliver (along with the $8) later this week.
a quiet market day, a decisive victory!
