I am always amazed at the talent that surrounds us and the barn sale is a showcase for that talent. When I visit a sale like this I can have one of two reactions: I can get depressed by seeing everyone else's work or be inspired and invigorated by it. I choose the second option and am planning on going back to the studio to create some amazing stuff of my own.
It's nice to catch up with so many friends and make some new ones. With fifty-four artists it's hard to get around to talk to all of them especially when you're supposed to be selling your own work too. I still try. There were quite a few people from Clayworks on both sides of the booths and we were well represented.
The turnout for the show was good but I think people are still uneasy spending money on non-essentials. My sales were fair, but given the economic uncertainty they were probably more like "good".

Everyone had a great time.(Especially if you brought your own Cheerios.)

Gary-
Thanks!
Jen-
The turnout was great, the sales were good. Thanks!
hey, there's no way that lil red mini brought all the shelves and props you guys use to set up your displays with... amazing setups...rose and i take forever just to set up 2 tables and a few small props...glad it was a good day..
I don't know whose mini that is, but I have a Dodge minivan and it gets filled up for shows. People take some time to make their displays look nice, but I just use my table and have an "early American yard sale" look. :8^) Thanks, it was a good day with good friends.
Good to see you on Sat. John, and everyone else as well! It was a good day. I may pinch that pic of my booth if you don't mind. Gotta get cracking.
