first festival

Yesterday I sat all day at my first outdoor festival. There were 8 artists in my area, but a whole festival within view with other artists/craftspeople and commercial vendors. It was Berry Dairy Days in Burlington, WA.

The art part of the festival was new and spontaneous so artists didn't even have to register. Just show up. So I didn't know if I would do it until the day before. I didn't know any of the other artists personally but had seen their work and it was good to put faces to names.

The weather was just right, cloudy most of the day and threatening rain. You might think that does not sound perfect but I don't do well in the heat so for my first all day thing, it was good. The breeze was a bit much though and kept teasing my tent off the ground. Note to self: other artists bring cinder blocks for a reason.

Thanks to my industrious and inventive husband and son for help and support yesterday!
