I had my very first potters guild sale on November 23-25th, 2012!!! It had been a little goal of mine to actually participate in the sale t some point, and I'm very happy that I did. I was a bit nervous leading up to the sale, but once there everything went well!
I had a three foot space in the far right hand corner... all my little buttons and such displayed. Kayo Endo and I shared a whole table, it was really nice to share a table with someone else who hadn't been in a sale before. I think she made my experience a lot smoother and nicer! Such a wonderful person!
And speaking about people, my wonderful friends and family came out too! On the opening night, my best friend Joleen and her family came out, same with my other awesome friend Corinne! My Uncle Cliff and Aunt Lorraine came out on Saturday, which was so nice, and my in-laws came on Sunday - but I unfortunately wasn't there yet to see them! Thank goodness my Dad and Sue stayed at home to watch my girls for me... Would've been pretty hard to attend with two kids in tow!
On the opening night I sold my very first piece within the hour! So exciting! My wonky teapot sold for $130!!!! Astonishing, but awesome at the same time :)
I worked at the sale on Saturday packaging up the purchases. Above are my comrades, Sandy and Nancy. It was a fun few hours!
The beginning and ending of the sale was a little meeting with all the potters. I snapped a few shots, and a larger panoramic shot from my table in the back of the room.
I was so pleased with the overall experience ~ something I look forward to doing again in the future!
