Hey!
Just came back from a sale here in our town.
It was a afternoon sale from the shops around here with a prices to win and special actions everywhere.
I was invited to have a stand at the chocolate shop, who's owner is (by now kind of) one of our friends.
As I had my table set up and everything was fine the sun disappeared and we could really see the fog rushing in. It became a damn cold afternoon!
People where more rushing, noticing "really pretty ornaments" and "look at these puzzles" but didn't want to stop to take a closer look.
Well, made some sales anyway (about 100Euro ~ 140$) and had nothing to pay for.
Now I need a hot shower, a warm cup of tea and a sweet place on the couch.

Nice looking display and projects.
Love the mustache on a stick. I've never seen that before. You could use a goatee on a stick as well!

Nicely set up. Not cluttered like a lot of them i see. Glad you had some good sales.

Well, I'm pretty satisfied now that I'm defrosted again.
In fact, no one was responsible for the weather this afternoon. I had hoped for a similar weather as yesterday, which was really sunny and without any wind. That would have worked much better. But I had my sales and made some contacts.
The table was quite full - I was afraid before to not have enough stuff for 3 tables. I had some more stuff under the table.
But anyway, next Sunday is the next show (craft fair). This time indoor :D

Nice. A bit of cold is worth making a little loot! Nice display...

Hi Torsten,
Was that the same fog what caused a big accident on the German-Dutch border?

Next time your outside take a thermos of tea with you with a little whiskey in to keep you warm. LOL Congrat's on the sales you did well.

Mike, I doubt that, the Dutch border is at nearest point like 500km (~320miles) away. The accident was one of those typical German mass crashes. To much speed, less space to stop. Car driving, especially on highways, is often more a car race kind of thing.
Marg, I got a couple of coffees from the chocolate shop. It's always again surprising how much more cold it becomes when one is just standing around. Rest of my shows are indoor fortunately.

NO! Tea and Whiskey? German...Schnapps!!! rule!

$140 is good seeing there is no charge for the stand, it is always a risk having a stall out side, but people in NZ seem to like the out door one in preference to being inside, an impressive display you have

Lookin' Good Torston. I am too old and chicken to do outdoor shows anymore.
