A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our little grassroots art fair this weekend in Glenview, Illinois. During these crazy times, so much has changed. Art fairs have basically been cancelled everywhere… except for our ART IN THE GARDEN. We took lots of extra precautions to make everything safe & socially-distant for everyone. Lots of space between the booths, hand sanitizer, social-distance spacing and MASKS ON EVERYONE!!!
It was so great to see people coming outside for a change… many people were thanking US for putting this together so that they would have something to do & somewhere to go. And it sure helped that the weekend was the most perfect weather ever on BOTH days!
It was so nice to have a slight glimmer of “normal” as we welcomed everyone to the backyard meadow for ART IN THE GARDEN. So again, thank you to everyone who came out, said Hello, made me smile and supported local artists!
So good to be back outside setting up my tent & showing off my pottery… and trying to make a little money! These past few months have been so difficult for many of us artists as our primary source of income has been “cancelled” due to the Covid pandemic. I know that it’s tough for everyone, but my artist friends have been struggling and trying to find different options to get their artwork out there for the public.
Okay, so sure… maybe the mask this isn’t “normal”…
but it’s a small price to pay for getting outside, seeing friends & customers, sharing your wares and making some money along the way! Plus, the more pots I sell… the more room I have to make even more pots!
And I LOVE making more pots!!!
