Good Thursday evening! Actually, it's Friday eve!! Hooray!
I had a very productive day at work today, and got my financial reports finished! Another hooray!
The Gems & Jewels Artist Market had steady traffic all afternoon, which was great! The Vintage Holiday Soiree started at 6:00, with some yummy finger foods and a cash bar. We had 88 RSVPs for it, and by 7:30 there were 127 people! It was a very successful event!
I had a great time catching up with some people I hadn't seen in a long time. I also ran into one of my fellow church women, and she told me that our rummage sale last weekend made over $4,000!! Wow.
I took some photos before most of the crowd arrived. I also made a couple of purchases from two different artists.
Hope you have had a good day, and I wish you a Friday that goes by quickly so the weekend arrives early! Wouldn't that be nice! LOL
Peace, love & hugs.
Both of these trees are full of hand-made ornaments, for sale.
These next photos are of the artists, set up and ready for customers.
These two shots are of our gift shop. It also did quite well today!

Our entertainment for the evening - he played some holiday songs along with a good mix of other songs. It was very nice having the live piano music.
Very pretty trees. All the pics look like a great time. Glad the events went well
ReplyDeleteI love handmade ornaments. Like my little tree, mine are getting a bit old, so I'd be buying some of those.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice photos of you and your co-workers too. I'm always amazed when I see how much taller you are than most.
All 6 feet of me, Brenda. I rarely find anyone taller (or much taller, anyway). Thinner - yes, taller - no.
