What a great experience! I shared again with my friend Deb, a talented and creative jeweler of Bunnies Can Dream Jewelry and Harlequin and Lionhead Jewelry. We had a large space, 10x10 feet, as big as some Manhattan apartments, on a tree-lined street in Chelsea. The day was gorgeous, crisp and perfectly autumn (with some pretty strong wind gusts, though our tent did not blow away), and after a few days of rain, lots of delightful shoppers came out. Really, the best part was what I call my "market test". It was great to see just what the reaction to the prints were. Even if people didn't ultimately purchase anything, they always smiled looking at my work, and that made me really satisfied. On top of that we were surrounded by some very creative individuals and I even came home with some really yummy vegan spicy caramel popcorn from Woodside Bakehouse (and later scored some vegan Peanutella there for my brother), and a really killer skirt from Rock and Salt. Love it.
