Country Chicks Spring Fair adventure!

 Whew.  Spring on the farm is exhausting with all the weeding & gardens, new baby animals & goats to milk, repairs & clean up from the winter.  Then someone got the bright idea (um, that would be me...) to have a vendor space at the Country Chicks Spring Festival at our local fairgrounds.  By local, I mean about a 45 minute trip from home!

This is our first time to vendor at this event and I've been making primitives and stressing about it for weeks!  My girls are working with me and both have items ready as well.
 Today we loaded it all up, drove to the Fairgrounds and located our space, and then unloaded and arranged it all.

We walked around and checked out all the other 'seasoned' vendor's spaces, filed away some great ideas for the Fall show and came home. 

I think we're ready...All we have to do is get up in the morning, have the milking & feeding done by 7 or 7:30 and then get ready to jet off for the day!  I think I'm tired in advance, lol!
 I think by the time the weekend is over I'm going to need a vacation!

I'm definitely going to need a few quiet days to recuperate from all the activity but I think it's going to be fun and hopefully profitable.
There are so many great things for sale it'll be a miracle if we come home with any profit at all!  There are some talented people out there and we saw some great antiques, collectibles and re-purposed items. 

I'm off to rest up until tomorrow and then I'll check back into blogland next week...or when I recover :-)

See you there!
