First Weekend was all SORTS of magickal. I saw familiar faces and new faces, met an honest-to-goodness Horse Whisperer(!) and a concerned father who conspired with me to make some fairy magic for his not-so-little-anymore girl. I got hugs and compliments and well-wishes. I got to dandle new babies. And I even made a sale!
There was a little rain, there was a lot of sunshine. The weather was such that I could wear my fave chemise, the handmade one I constructed from a curtain and a petticoat, the one with voluminous sleeves that tie at the elbow and catch on the pointy costume bits of friends when I hug them. And I chose the comfiest overdress -- the one that doesn't require all the flotsam that I usually buckle around my body when in costume -- and a beautiful Fest friend gifted me a straw hat that tied it all together with perfection.
Some of my favorite customers (I have awesome customers!) arrived to share pics of their grandchildren and catch me up on their lives. One brought me REAL coffee! And during a gentle rainshower my shop hosted a magickal little music jam that I felt blessed to witness. And did I mention that there was a hummingbird? And a dragonfly that circled my shop's interior, stopping briefly to check out its reflection in the art before going on its way.
All in all, a wonder-full first weekend. And very soon I'll get to do it all again. :)

Your shop is soooo lovely! Thanks for sharing the picture. It's a reminder of how fantastic it is to walk into such a huge period piece. All those costumed artists and entertainers in one spot. Heaven.
ReplyDeleteI love your work. My mom and sister both have pieces displayed in their homes, as do I. I like seeing these happy little fairies going about their lives, especially on cold winter days. A great gift for cheering people up. Thanks for all you do, Delayne! —Chris
