My first sale and a new item--plantholders!



How exciting it was. My neighbor, who is a great entrepreneur, bought a candle holder! The next day, I sold two to another neighbor and then seven at the Hillsborough Last Fridays! I think that is a spectacular start, for sure.


The Last Friday's event was lots of fun. I was nervous, of course, but once I got in the swing of it, I relaxed and enjoyed talking with people. I was pretty happy with my display. I 'm so glad I thought of putting the electric candle holders out because around 9, it really started getting dark and I was not near a street light. The candles added a nice glow to the table and made it stand out. I don't think I'm going to put as many stones on my display next time, since I think it was a bit overwhelming for some. I have signed up for the next 4 Last Friday events, so am looking forward to them.


This week I started making plant holders. I am using a slightly bigger bit and thus making a larger hole, and planting a small plant--ivy, herbs, etc. in the saucer. I love them and hope others will too.
