A good day

Last year I made a special domino necklace for my daughter and put it in a safe place so I could give it to her for the holidays. It was too safe - I couldn't find it when the holidays rolled around. This morning I was digging out some empty gift boxes to take with me to the bazaar and guess what I found in one of the boxes? So I guess she will get her present a year late, LOL.

The bazaar went really well for me. I moved a lot of my domino art but what was really special were the reactions people had to our dolls. We had tons of lookers and had to explain over and over how the dolls were made. People were amazed. It was great fun.

I was thrilled (but really sad) when my red ornie sold. The woman who bought her is going to give her to her sister. Her sister is in a life transition and my customer said she will help her sister fly through this period of her life. She struggled to try to explain to me how this doll was going to help her sister. You could tell the doll really spoke to her. I was really touched. She also bought the first one I made for herself.

Here is our table ... my friend Shirley's dolls are on the left (with my froggy doll in the middle) and all my domino art and boxes on the right. Jacque gave me a great idea to make a Charlie Brown tree to display my ornies on. Thanks, Jacque!!!

The blue ornie and the copper one came home with me.

Your table looks good. The ornaments showed up well on your Charlie Brown tree.

Your table looked so prettty! Good to hear you sold the domino art. Too bad about the dolls not selling. But I can understand- so often I see beautiful art work I would love to have, but I just can't afford it. I have often told my husband it is a curse to have good taste when you are of modest means and can't afford the things you love-LOL! You just need to find some wealthy customers that can afford to pay what your dolls are worth. But then, don't we all? LOL!

Yeah! What LINDA said! LOL! Seriously, I am the same way. I always WANT to buy people's beautiful art, but never can afford it. You already know I love yours! Glad you had a blast & sold some things as well!

What a beautiful table you had, and I'm so glad you had a good day. I KNOW how much work goes into setting up a display like that, and it is so discouraging when things don't sell. I love reading stories about pieces of art that find a person who needs them -- this was a good one! Personally, I would have snatched up the one with the flower petal skirt... she's gorgeous!

Woe, what a wonderfully inspirational site. I have so much enjoyed my first visit here, came via Janet's blog.

Inspired me to have a good look round now I am here.
