This past weekend I participated in my neighborhood event known as Johnstock. It takes place on Johnson St in NE Minneapolis. There were over 40 artists and crafters selling their wares, live music and lots of activities for the kids.
I will admit I've been hesitant to look at the weather forecast for this show because lately it seems like every Saturday in Minnesota has been less then desirable with cold and rainy or god forbid cold and snowy? (Think of our early May surprise).
So I was a bit disheartened at the news of a solid rainy, gloomy and chilly Saturday. However, when I woke up that morning I was stunned to see clear blue skies and sunshine. It was actually WARM out!
Well that set the tone for a good day. I got to vend next to my friend Megan of Gold Hoax who hand etches designs on vintage glassware. You can see her work at her etsy.
At this event I decided to try arranging my tables differently. I did this with the pretense of keeping everything in the center and out of the rain. (And it did rain!) I do like how my display worked and I plan on doing something simulation at my next Mill City Farmers Market sale this Saturday June 8th. Again the weather promises to have some rain but I will be crossing my fingers for some much needed sunshine.
