A Private Arts and Craft Show At Blue Lagoons

Delores and Lois admiring Delores Crochet Projects
I was somewhat hesitant to organize an Arts and Craft show at our RV Resort. After all last year’s show had resulted in three artists/crafters and very few visitors. It had been a beautiful day and while it was nice practice on setting up for other shows it was basically practice.
So this year we organized it differently. This year we invited everyone to the show even if they didn’t sell.
                                          Debbie told of her Mountain Women Renactments
The idea was to show people what others create and to provide an opportunity for crafters to meet and greet, (it’s all about making friends after all).
                                                              Sharon's stunning Quilt
Saturday morning  arrived and so did the other artists! While it was still a small group we had two quilters, one reenacter, another who made rosaries, cabochons and jewelry, and a lady who sold products and gave demonstrations on skin, face, hand, and foot care. It was quite an eclectic bunch.

So we all set up and didn’t know what to expect as it was a private show. The park we are in is a small one and as there is very limited parking we were not allowed to advertise. On top of that it was the same weekend as the Arts and Craft show at Lagoons and that is a pretty big one to compete against.

Nine am arrived on a cold and blustery day and people trickled through the doors! A steady flow developed with a few lulls during which we were able to admire others work and share our passion!  It was so much better than last year that we all agreed to have another show next year!  Clear skies
