Markets, Fairs, and Festivals

The day before the etsyRAIN Holiday Show, I went to Kinko's to get a business sign printed. Little did I know that such a seemingly simple task would cost me $35! I said "no thanks" and made my way to the craft store 2 blocks over to get some supplies for a home-made business sign. It kind of felt and turned out to look more like a 6th-grade craft project than a business sign, but I still like it. :)

The etsyRAIN holiday show was both wonderful and disappointing. The venue, the vendors, the organizers, etc. were all great. And there was a pretty decent crowd of pleasant and kind shoppers as well. But for whatever reasons (economy?), not many sales were made (by me or many of the other vendors there).
Tomorrow, I'll be hauling this display to the Ballard Farmer's Market and hoping it will be cold enough to entice people's purchases but not so cold that I lose the function of my fingers and toes. :) Feel free to come by and say hi if you're in the area.
