Oh what an Awesome weekend. It didn't start off perfectly though. We couldn't leave Friday to set up like we normally do because of all the weather that was coming through. So even though I hate having to get up at 2:00am to make that trip it was safest way to be. So we headed out a little after 3:00am and arrived at 5:30am. We were not the only ones that had decided not to ride the storms out it the Tannehill hollow. Usually 75 percent of us vendors set up on Friday but when we arrived there was probably 20 people there ahead of us. Boy was it cold and MUDDY. We started setting up and I was sooooo thankful that I had brought my sweats but was starting to get worried that I had missed packed. By the time we were set up my shoes were completely caked with mud and I had mud up to my knees. Still very cold and now at this time very WINDY. Lets just say for the record that wind and my trade does not get along very well. We were having up to 20 mph winds, very strong and I held my breath and prayed a lot during Saturday. My prayers was answered and I had nothing to get damaged from the wind fortunately, others out there was not so fortunate. One vendor just a few spaces down had there tent to break under the pressure of the wind. By lunch time we were packed, I think that it was later during the day Saturday than norm because of the weather the night before, and even though everyone was talking about the wind/cold they were definitely trading. Night came and we were cold, muddy and exhausted. We went down to the Mill and walked the trail behind it. The creek that runs beside it was running full steam and it was beautiful.
Finally came down to eating supper and passing out. Long, Awesome, Cold, Fantastic, Muddy Day! But neither of us, Scott or I, slept very well because I packed for hot not cold so needless to say we froze. I woke up several times because I was shivering so hard. Scott made a suggestion that I will definitely take heed of. We will start packing for both no matter what because when I pack for cold it is hot (like last time) and when I pack for hot it is cold (like this time).
Sunday's always start off slow the main crowd doesn't come in until 1:00pm after church. Most interesting of the day was watching my fellow vendor, Ms Cindy, go off on the most annoying vendor next to her. The lady definitely had it coming. Finally the weekend came to an end, packed up and arrived back home around 10:00pm Sunday night and Boy did we ever truly pass out then.
Awesome weekend, bought some great stuff to put into the shoppe, will post pics of that later. Last month was the best that we had ever did and this month top it. Can you say "AWESOME"! Thank you Lord for Blessing our weekend!!
