{ A bust...totally }

Slang definition of bust:  

bust    

noun

an event with a displeasing outcome. 

That show was a bust.

Yep our show at Olde Tyme Marketplace's SUNDAY at the MARKETPLACE was just that- a bust. 

It takes us 2 hours to get there then we have set up and unload.  It was soooo hot. I mean blazing hot.

And it was not crowded at all- hardly any shoppers at all.  Not sure why.  The last time we did a show there we were freezing and it rained bucket loads.  

Vendors have told us that the previous show was amazing.  Maybe it is just us. Don't know. 

I think we are just not meant to do this one.  

I did make $15 to cover the booth space and my daughter did spend about $30 on stuff so I guess we were less than a bust - a negative bust :)

Oh well, I am home now in the air conditioning and am a happy camper.  

Here are some promised photos..enjoy.

 See that sweat..yep that is hot man.  Very freakin' hot. 

 

 She had wonderful sweets - if only I weren't a diabetic..but alas I ate salad.  :)

This next booth was my FAVE.. I adored everything in it.  They were a great creative couple.  

 Check out the AMERICANA. 

And the birdhouses were to die for. 

 This was a wonderful idea..

just simple lace attached to the frames to hold jewelry.  So simple but so beautiful.

 This couple were smart.  They set up near the lamp post which had an electrical outlet- 

Can you say  - plug in fans?  oh yeah. 

  This man does some amazing cane reconstruction. 

Wish I'd brought my messed up chair. 

 Our neighbor- she was a lovely lady.  She has been in this business for years..

Lots of knowledge we gleaned from her. 

Then you have us..yes a bit sparse this time.  We  sold all our big ticket items at Cameron. 

 There is my helper- little me - better known as Sophie.  

 Loved the shutters and the bike the best. 

 This was Shabby Jen..she does some amazing work on clothing.  I enjoyed seeing her creativity. 

 Ok in this booth my fave was the rusty chicken wire behind the man in the black shirt.

Why? 
I could see it made into a wire cloche with an adorable glass door knob on the top..

Just saying. 

And lastly - the nursery that brings all the plants..

These were huge and cheap. 

Like $1 cheap.  But I only brought back a few- why you ask?

Because I didn't sell anything so there was no room.  

boo hoo

What did we bring back?

Well Sophie bought herself a cute hat from our FAVE vendor above.

 what did you do today?
