Vending at South Eastern Fiber fair (SAFF) 10/29/2011
Well going to SAFF was quite the adventure. This fiber festival is one of the larger ones on the east coast, held in Asheville, NC in October yearly. I went along with Roo of Moonwood Farms to help in her booth and she graciously allowed me to set up a wall of my goodies. So I drove to Alabama to help Roo pack up the Uhaul, and van and then we left to drive to Asheville on Thursday afternoon. We got into Asheville around 7pm or so, which for Roo was early, but we stayed until 2:30am to set up the booth, and then returned Friday morning by 6:30am to finish the set up. Traffic was down quite a bit this year, but the loyal customers still sought out Roo's booth and hopefully fell in love with my stuff as well. We had a lot of fun vending, and although I managed to come back with a sinus infection it was fun. I learned to bring a space heater next year. I will hopefully be set up in the booth right next to Roo next year with a 8x10 space of my own :). We met lots of fun new friends, and made a server at the Chinese buffet we frequented a bit embarrassed but he left with a batt, slightly confused what to do with it, but it was all in good fun. The weekend came to a sad end with the wonderful kitty Uni that we had given to Roo a few months ago having seizures and having to be put down. Not exactly the way you want to end a fun weekend, but we both loved him to pieces, and enjoyed the time we were allowed with him. So on to the photos... CommentsPaula Hoffmann 01/24/2012 11:11
