I have completed my second art show. It was in my home town of Elgin, Illinois so I figured, why not. Travel time was practically nil and managing family life was a lot easier being so close. The first thing that I always like about these art shows is meeting the kind and wonderful people in the booths next to me. At my first show the couple had lots of advise for me, which I completely soaked in and was so appreciative of.
At this show I again met some wonderful fellow artists. There were two ladies sharing the booth next to me and we discovered that we're all on Etsy. We exchanged business cards and I've already "hearted" both of them. I hope you take some time to visit both of their shops, they're wonderful! I'd like to introduce you to them.
