Meet Your Maker, December 2010, Cozmic Pizza in Eugene

Had a nice show today in Eugene. I only sold a few things, but I was able to recoup my table fee and make a little extra, so I’m a happy camper. People were not very interested in the yarn, but I sold three hats. I guess if they’re shopping for gifts, they’re more likely to want something already finished? Some people didn’t seem to get it, or they’d pick up one skein and look at the price and not look at any of the others, though my prices vary widely. Ah well, all stuff to take into consideration for the next show.

I loved the variety of vendors. I purchased a very pretty little fabric wallet from my neighbor (I’ll post a photo and a link to her Etsy in a future post). My friend Megan started selling solid perfumes that smell gorgeous and I FORGOT TO BUY ONE, dammit, but she’s a neighbor so I can fix that easily enough. One of the other vendors tried on one of my hats and it looked amazing on her. I should have offered her a trade or something, it was like the hat was made just for her…. and I’m kind of bummed she won’t be wearing it!

I could easily fill my shopping bag with something from every vendor… I wish I could in reality!

From the perspective of someone just participating – not organizing – this event, I came away with some mixed feelings about the Cozmic Pizza venue.  The space was nice (even though the ceiling dripped on me, lol) but man, what’s with the ‘tude? I don’t know, there was a weird vibe in there at times. It definitely would not be a dining destination for me.

All in all, though, a really nice day hanging out with really nice people… and lots of ideas percolating for next time!
