The Jane Austen Fair.

So I just got back from the Jane Austen Faire that Aria and I were invited by Amy Wadsworth to be vendors and it was an experience that I had no way of knowing how it was going to go! Amy did so much work in promoting and organizing and making a beautiful place like the IKE Box even more beautiful! There were 24 vendors!

The view of our little room!

I spoke with some people I know, mainly Maggie and I had an idea what to expect. I was told little things, like necklaces with cameos, and fans and things could sell, and she was sooo right, but what was even more of a shock was that I actually sold three hats!!! I brought 5! I took all sorts of things, including feathers and shawls and two dresses for sale and a dress to display, but would have parted with for the right price....and none of those sold.

The only negative was that we were in the back, in a little space behind the stage, but, that really was our fault for waiting till the last minute to get our applications in. But, I did my best to talk to every one that came by and helped ladies try on hats and gowns and was supported by many of my regency friends and general friends and was happy to see them!

I feel, overall, that this was a lot of work, and a HUGE learning experience and most definitely a WIN!

I want to thank everyone that came...and everyone I spoke with and everyone who loved my things as much as I do! :)

Here the rest of the pics that Aria took, I was too busy with people to take any!

I was a perfect blue sky, warm weather and a lot of people! I can't wait to do it again!

Good night!
