The ups and downs of a craft show

Set up on Thursday at Erddig and finished hanging everything on Friday before we opened. A man with 4 children came round in the afternoon and fell in love with a silk wrap and bought it for his wife and said she would adore it. Only sold a couple of small items that day. On Sunday the weather was lovely but a bit windy. More people visited and late morning in came the wife with the wrap wanting either an exchange or her money back. It was quickly apparent that she wanted the money as she didn't even look at all the other wraps. When I took it back to check if it was still OK she hadn't even taken the wrap out of it wrapping! Pretty bad day as sales were pretty awful.
Sunday the weather was lovely and loads of people came round who seemed more interested and sales were better. Still didn't make up for the weekend though. Ah well onwards and upwards towards the Beaumaris Festival
