Georgia Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Had a show today. It started out overcast but humid. Turned sunny and I had to move everthing to the back of the booth. Then at 5 o'clock a wall of rain came! We haven't had any rain in months - grass is brown, trees are dieing so we needed it, but it could have waited another couple of hours. And then it didn't even last long enough to do any good, just a lot of damage. Just about everything will have to be relabeled before next week's show! Thankfully, my DDs and SIL were there. They helped me pack up. I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but did sell a lot of pillars. It cracked me up because I "create" pillars - think about color and pattern and scent. People picked them up, said they smelled good and bought them. I don't think they cared what they looked like.Oh, in taking down the tent, I dumped the water from the top on me! Then I did it again at the next corner! Slow learner.Guess I'll take my tired, wet body off to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Bless your heart. I've done the water on tent thing. At least you sold pillars. Better luck next time. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycacti Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 i have had joy of working multiple street fairs in pouring rain-but doing the wine thing-people dont disappear for rain when there is free alcohol!hopefully they relabel beautifully and you sell it ALL next weekend!

Scented Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Bummers on the rain. I know that feeling all too well about having to re-label quickly. Here's to the next show making up for what you could have had in sales the last few hours on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Wow, what an experience. You got all the hard-to-deal-with-weather all in one day - humid, sun, rain, and a bath! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SecretBuddy084 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Aw Bud I'm sorry you had such a rough day. The sun and humidity was bad enough but then a wall of rain. Geesh!Glad you had buyers for your fabulous pillars. Sorry you have to relabel now. I'd look for one of those disposable raincoats for your show bag if you would remember to put it on before taking down your wet tent.
