| Yes that is a wicker-work casket... |
Day three started with one of the Freedom Festival reps coming around and telling us he hoped the day three crowd was good this year. Apparently it has been hit and miss in the past. We decided it would be a good day and started up. We of course started the day with an amazing donut from next door and then the crowd began to trickle by. It was a slow trickle most of the day. We ran random specials ranging from $5 off a dress while Andrew was holding the sign to a clearance price of $10 per dress. We were able to get some sales off both specials, but it was nothing compared to the fourth. As I mentioned before we did have a return customer and she brought a friend. That was great! The return customer bought two more dresses and bragged about how much her grand-daughter had loved them. That was great to hear.
As evening approached so did the clouds. We had decided to start cleaning up the things that were not selling well to make the clean-up easier for us. While Andrew was taking a load to the car another vendor came by and said there was a high wind advisory in affect and they were tearing down. When Andrew returned, we decided we should start closing up as well. It is a good thing we did! Not twenty minutes later the wind started. We were running the last load to the car and only needed to go back to take down the canopy when the rain started. We waited that out in the car for about a half an hour and we took the canopy down and headed home.
All-in-all it was a great experience and we did well with sales. I did discover summer time is not the time to sell crocheted items, and that is just fine. I did have several compliments and told my work was very well done.
