RANDOM WALK IN THE WOODS PHOTOS
Happy Tuesday. Update on the ribs. I am doing much better and the pain to breathe seems to be gone for the most part. I was fortunate that after the scan it showed that the area around the ribs was just swollen, and no problem with the head scan since I'm on two blood thinners. Well, enough of old people health issues. Now, I'm back to more fun things. Except:
We had another craft fair this past Sunday. Again, only lookers for the most part, and not a big attendance of people at all. Either people just aren't in the market for what I home make and/or artwork at a craft show or we just don't make the right things, so my sister and I are pretty much done. I think to do craft fairs you probably need to go all out with tents for outdoor festivals, and travel, and at our age that just doesn't seem anything that would be feasible or maybe we're just chicken. (cock-a-doodle-do) Sorry, had to. lol
Hope all are happy and prayers for all to be in the best of health at all times. Thank you so much for visiting and sharing your photography, crafts, digital art or just a comment. :)

Me and my sisters at a popular tourist spot out on Lake Erie some years ago. Can you tell how short my younger sister is in this big chair? I could hardly get up in it. My younger sister's wonderful son surprised us with a visit for the day all on him. You take a boat out to the island. There are places to stay, and people live out there, but we only spent the day riding around on the golf cart and seeing the sights. A really fun memory. And yes, we did taste a wine at this place, and it was delicious. :) And then on with the day.
Fun Memories!!
So glad to hear you are on the mend! It’s always disappointing when sales don't turn out as expected, but it sounds like you have the right perspective, your health and comfort should definitely come first. The photos from your walk are lovely, and that throwback picture with your sister is such a sweet memory.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are on the mend ~ Craft Fairs are worth a try but soon tired of the high maintenance and little pay off ~ online might be more effective at times ` who knows ~ lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photography today ~ thanks, Hugs ^_^
It's great to hear you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteCraft shows are tricky, a lot of people don't buy certain things, they figure it's all stuff they can make for themselves. If they tried, of course, they'd find out just how much work goes into it, but because they think it's easy, they don't want to pay for it.
The walk was beautiful.
First I'm happy you're feeling and breathing better. Excellent news.
ReplyDeleteI would love to take a walk here. Beautiful.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Ages ago, before Etsy, I was a college student trying to make some extra money selling crocheted goods. I quickly found that I could never recoup labor costs or even costs of material if I charged what people wanted to pay, and that was back in the early 70's. I have only made gifts since. With the economy being what it is, I can feel for any craftsperson now. That was a nice walk you took us on. The one photo with the fork in the road reminded me of the poem The Road Not Taken.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the ribs. I hope they feel better soon. As someone in the UK where we're in the middle of a hot summer, it was surprising to see such autumnal photos.
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures of the pathways, sorry to hear about your ribs, thanks for taking part in #WeeklyWonders.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your health problems, hope you do better. Bummer about the craft shows, you have to have the right market for it that is for sure, in an area that people really want those kinds of things. That looks like a great walk in the woods.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, craft fairs and markets are a hard slog, particularly in the early days when no-one knows you. What to make, what price, how to attract people....etc etc The trick I think is to target a fair that suits your niche. I have been dong 3 art markets a year for the last few years and I am just about done. You are right it is a hard slog, and very tiring what with the packing, transport, setting up etc, especially when you are in the older age bracket - I am retired - do I really want to do this any more. I am at the place when I am not sure what to do going forward and how to get rid of what I have. Take care of you.
