Lucketts, Day One

This year, Lucketts Spring Market is fabulous as always.  The vendors have all brought great stuff.  The aisles were crowded with enthusiastic shoppers, and very few folks appear to be leaving the show empty handed. 

Sales in my booth were steady all day, with large pieces and small items selling equally well.  (The credit card ap on my iPhone has worked flawlessly.)  The weather was clear and warm ... bright blue sky, light breezes, and temps topping out at about 80 degrees.  I applied a coat of sunblock to my exposed parts every so often, and I offered it to customers and other dealers who looked like they needed it.  (It was definitely a "sunburn before you know it" type of day.)

I was on my feet nearly all day, and by the end of Day One, I felt a lot like this vase of flowers that I saw at a fellow dealer's booth ... tired and wilted.



The Husband is working the booth with me today, so I will have an opportunity to get out of the booth and really do some shopping ... instead of yesterday's quick look at the booths as I went to and from the ladies room or to grab a bite to eat (crabcake sandwich ... yum!)

One more day!

  1. Good! Looks like the change of venue is working for you. It was a sunny and warm day yesterday.... hope you have that sunblock on hand today as well. Sell sell sell. Would love to be there today, but it's more than a bit of a drive there and back for me. :-((

  5. I am so glad it is going great, Connie. Especially after the disappointment of the booth you had. At least now you KNOW it was the space and NOT your items!

    I hope today goes equally well and you come home with an empty trailer! xo Diana

  6. Glad to hear that things are going well and that you will have help on Sunday. At the end of the school year, I felt like that vase of flowers, too. But after two days with afternoon naps, I'm ready for summer!♥♫

  12. Congrats on doing so well, Connie! I do know how exhausting running a Flea booth. Oh, how tired I was by the day's end! A fun day --- but exhausting! :)
