We started out at 7:30 am., packing and more packing, until there was not another inch in 2 trucks and a SUV.
Caravan-ing to LeClaire, IA for the weekend. LeClaire Market Days. We have been planning this for weeks, getting all our stuff ready, working like little elves. Lots of late nights! Finally here, ohhh, this is going to be fun!!! We are all excited, smiles and laughter!!!
And such a beautiful old, green house, perfect place to pitch our roof and set up our wares...
Grasshoppers, over looking the river.... What a beautiful setting....
This is going to be soooo much fun! We picked our spot and started to set up. With enthusiasm, we began dragging EVERYTHING out of our vehicles.... Wow, everything but the kitchen sink...
Oh, it is soooo cold! That's okay... it is going to warm up,,,, please warm up!!!
Within 45 minutes we had everything ready!!!! Come on people,,,, we are ready for you!!!
We all stepped back to admire our cute lil' displays....
WAIT!!!! IS THAT SNOW????? WHAT???? SNOWWWWW????
WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SNOW,,,,WE WANT PEOPLE!!!!!
WHAT,,,, THE STREETS ARE BARREN.... NO PEOPLE!!!!
ARE YOU F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G???? I CAN'T FEEL MY TOES!!! SCREW THIS....
Three hours later and not a single sale, we packed everything up and headed back to Muscatine...
WHAT A BUST!!!!
Hmmm.... so maybe we would be better off trying this in the Spring!!!
THAT TENT WON'T SEE ANOTHER SHOW 'TIL SPRING,,, WARM LATE SPRING....

Your displays are awesome. That is so much work. Not a single sale, that really sucks.
Yeah, the only door that led to our cute lil' display was blocked by 3 woman sitting on stools drinking coffee from the coffee shop, probably wondering why no one was coming out...DUH!!!
Piper, so sorry to here about the sale. The weather i'm sure was a factor. Hang in there sweet girl. Things will turn around for you.
C R A P....Kane the week before was freezing cold, driving rain from the West, we had a few sales but I will say it was the WORST I have ever done at Kane...I had rain and cold...and this summer has seen rain at EVERY show....
What an awesome display you did for your booth! The shop looks so nice too. Heather gave me a lavendar bar of soap for helping her with the 300 guests she had visiting yesterday. It smells so wonderful. I hope you got some foot traffic in the shop yesterday. Still loving my pumpkin pie spice and brown sugar with chestnuts candles!
