Art Show


Well, friends. It happened. 
I was able to participate in the Red Dirt Art Festival.
Thanks to Doug and Brenna, my sister, Sue, Robin, Erin and Rachel, and Abby.
So SO good to have some back up.
Ummmm, and someone to watch the booth for bathroom breaks.
Which, I have to say, while not resolved, the Colitis flare seems to be at a slow simmer right now.
(Many thanks for all your encouraging comments from the last post!!)



I got everything ready,


packed up my goods, and headed out with my sweet husband and Brenna.


Let me tell you what. That girl can SELL.
No one is a stranger, she said "HI!" to all who stopped at the booth.
If they lingered, her questions were, "Which is your favorite?" "How old is your baby?" "What's it's name?" "My mom made that. Do you like it?"
Oh, my word. She kills me. She is a natural born talent.
Actually, she's a terrific gift.


The day went really, really well. I even had a local store owner ask if I would like to sell my art in her store. I said yes faster than she got the question out....
Now we are back to reality, and colds are ruling the house. I haven't put anything away from the sale, and naps reign supreme.
As soon as I wake up, I will list items on Etsy.
Hope your Monday is sweet.

  1. Oh Lynn, you found the perfect assistant, with her finding the whole world to be a friend. That is a true sales person. Glad your day was so successful, and you are on the mend.

  3. Amazing and so smart to have the salesman of the family be front and center :)
    I love that you had your published work with magazine!!! TOO SMART!!

    I am sooooo HAPPY it went off without a hitch and this shop is going to sell out of your wares fast.

    Congrats all around Lynn, you deserve it!

  5. Congrats on the great show! Hannah loves to come to shows with me, she is the perfect salesgirl too. When we did the last fall show, she stayed both days all day long and talked to everyone, I was so proud of her the confidence she showed was pretty cool. I hope you are feeling better, I just saw your last post and I loved it! Not the part about you not feeling well of course ;) but the part about us all being in the pool but at different depths of it... so true. I think everyone has struggles, they are just not all the same and how we get through them is our test (for lack of a better word). I have to remind myself that what I am struggling with is a pittance compared to others and then I pull up my bootstraps and march on! None the less it makes us human and hopefully a more compassionate one. Feel better soon, I hope the meds help and that they can figure out your flare ups for you! and last but not least... your art is beautiful! t.xoxoox

  6. Hi Lynn,
    Congrats to you! Sounds like a wonderful success, on many counts. I'm so glad to hear that everything went well and that you have good sales help:) That sales part always gets me... not so good at that, in any form.

    Hope your health improves and you have a good week!
    xo~ Anna

    P.S. I'm heading to pick up our college gal tomorrow. Happy day :)

  7. Lynn,
    I am so glad that the show happened. With all that is going on, it is really amazing. It does take a village to do these things, doesn't it?
    Me, I am off to Mesa tomorrow. Riding the roller coaster of grief. It is quite a ride and I never knew I had so many feelings.
    Please get well soon! I will write later!
    Brenna, bless her heart!
    Love,
    Suz
