This event was the first official craft fair that I participted as an Etsy Rain member. It was very stressful since I didn't know what to expect and I was out of my comfort zone. The event was held in Everett and I didn't know anyone participating in the show. I was fortunate that Ryo was able to be by my side.
We arrived to check in and, not doing much research, I found out that I had no table or tent and it was raining! Julia, owner of Black Door Studio and hostess of this event, was kind enough to lend me a table but my purses wouldn't do so well in the rain. Our kind craft fair neighbors mentioned Big 5 having a sale on tents so Ryo ran off to get one. Good thing he did because I was ready to call it quits and go home. While waiting for Ryo's return, I was offered sheltered from the rain by my neighbor Kim, of Pepo Park. She became my first craft/Etsy Rain friend as well as my craft fair sifu/sensei/mentor... you get the idea.
Ryo arrived and every pitched in to help us set up our tent. After we were settled in, the rest of the day went pretty well. I sold a couple of purses and met other Etsy Rain members. All in all, it turned out good. Thanks again to Ryo and Kim for their help!
See you all at the next fair!!
