Fall and French Canadian Festival took place October 25, 2008. There were over 70 Artisans displaying their hand crafted items. This was the first time I took part in this celebration filled with wonderful music and food. French pork pie and pea soup were the highlight of the day~ the line was incredible! I had an opportunity to visit most of the booths and make contact with many new potential clients. Funny, most had never heard of Etsy~~ imagine that!! I had steady traffic most of the day&#8230;we only stayed until 2:30, that was all we could bear&#8230;. take a look:<\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_v38FVMN36KY\/SQesAtYgSgI\/AAAAAAAAAPI\/EwIU3Fwthvk\/s1600-h\/Jewelry+2008+019.jpg\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_v38FVMN36KY\/SQesAtYgSgI\/AAAAAAAAAPI\/EwIU3Fwthvk\/s400\/Jewelry+2008+019.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Isn&#8217;t that attractive, quite the hairdo eh??? Most of the day was spent fighting the more than 30 mph wind gusts&#8230; I did not put up a tent, and I was glad that I didn&#8217;t. We spent part of the day chasing items that had been blown right off tables from neighboring  vendors and then the tents started to fly! Enough for me&#8230;we packed it in early. I will go back again next year. If the weather was better it would have been a great show. Rotary Park is along the river and the evening was to be filled with &#8220;water fire&#8221; but the weather did not cooperate. All in all, I made more than enough sales to cover the table and had numerous inquiries for where I would be doing Christmas shows. It was a great networking experience. Just wish Mother Nature was more cooperative. During the lulls, I was able to put this together&#8230; the first of three commissioned Rosaries that will be traveling to my new friend, Lisa, in the UK.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_v38FVMN36KY\/SQeuWRSmRII\/AAAAAAAAAPQ\/Oqbnq0oBJFk\/s1600-h\/10-26-08+lisa+bf.jpg\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_v38FVMN36KY\/SQeuWRSmRII\/AAAAAAAAAPQ\/Oqbnq0oBJFk\/s400\/10-26-08+lisa+bf.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Lisa wanted something special for her boyfriend who celebrates a December birthday. I used Swarovski crystals in the deep blue and added Turquoise with silver findings.
