Calendar Girl Blog: Our neighborhood Show and Sale
We didn't have one of those head counters, but I would say about 200 people, mostly strangers to me, can to our neighbourhood holiday show and sale, held in my house, yesterday.
Two hundred people. That's a lot of folk in a 5 hour span.
I was totally whipped at the end.
Sales all round seemed good. I sold 30 calendars. The other 6 gals and 1 fellow, sold soaps, candles, stockings, jewelry, mitts, hats, scarves, cards, cushions and tree decorations. They were beaming too.
No doubt our hot apple cider and rum concoction gave the buyers the right amount of lubrication to loosen their wallets from their pockets. And further illustrated that we weren't the mall.
One older gentleman came in, looked around and promptly left to sit in the car. "Too many women", he spouted.
Calendar Girl noticed that the rest of the guys, focused on my wood pile. We talked log length and burn time. Apparently, both rated high in their books.
