The Oktoberfest...A Closer Look at My Booth

Well the weather was NOT on my side last Sunday at the Oktoberfest.
A dark 6am and 40 DAMP degrees is not
the most fun way to set up a booth!

But the customers that braved the dampness, rain, and cold still came in for a peak!

Sorry, we did not get a shot of me in my booth!

But all the day long
my wonderful faithful trooper and helper (my husband)
fetched us hot tea, hot chocolate, and hot soup throughout the day
as I tried get feeling back into my toes (I never did until we got home!)

There was a purchase here and there!

What thrilled me the most about the day was all of the wonderful

and positive comments on how beautiful everyone thought my booth was..

.

"a breath of Fresh Air"..."very different"..."restful on the eyes"..."everything is displayed so lovely"..."so beautifully decorated in a monochromatic color scheme"..."it looks like a store"..."you have beautiful items"... and so continued the comments...

Hearing those compliments was just as satisfying as selling something! 

Sales were okay, but the weather kept a damper on people's spending.

This was a good test to see which items were highly desired...

The winner of the most oohs and ahhs by FAR was the coffee filter wreath! It drew everyone in! If I had made a bunch of those, I would have done extremely well...next year...maybe...maybe not!
Too bad it was not indoors!

Here is a closer look.

Everyone also liked the wreath with the tied strips of canvas fabric...again...
should have made MORE!!

The booth to the right is generally the type of booth you see at this event...

But I wanted to offer something different for a change!

I did have some stock left over, so if you see anything that catches your eye,

please contact me!

Now on to finishing the master bedroom project and a paint makeover for the front parlor! I will post photos as soon as I make some progress! Also to come will be some peaks of my home decorated for fall!

Thanks for visiting!
