Back on Track!!

After that disappointing Sunday show I got back on track with the Augusta UMC show. I did not know what to expect but it was all good. I would call it a success, both personally and for the UMC. We had a few comments about the smaller set up but people were in a buying mood for the most part. I did observe a couple of new artisans who had a disappointing show - and perhaps their expectations were not realistic. And Sunday was very definitely quieter than Saturday. The UMC member meeting resulted in some volunteers for the open positions so we are headed into 2024 with new venues and shows. I sold many runners - and will likely have to make more holiday themed ones for the last show of the season. We'll see how things go this weekend. I'm doing my first show with Society of Southern Maine Craftsmen at the Topsham High School. I checked this one out last year and it was decidedly a must to add to my schedule. Politics is getting more contentious. Trump's trails continue and his idiot sons continue to like and hype from the witness stand while the model daughter can't seem to recall anything. These kids have been put in charge of businesses yet seem oblivious to how business works and that they are the ones responsible. Of course, their role model of a father has taught them well that anything bad is someone else's fault not theirs. Had an enjoyable visit with Connie on Saturday night. Likely the last as the Augusta show will be a one day affair next year. It's always good to spend time with her as we agree on just about everything. She's good people and I'm happy to have her as a friend.
