I went to my small Boston Township Bazaar. The organizer offered to set up one of their standard six foot tables for my use. I thought that was perfect, until I considered spreading a few towels over six feet. I asked my sister to share the table.
It worked out very well. So well, in fact, she hopes to share a table with me next year, and have Tom along, selling his world renown back scratchers. We knew artists from all over the country and some of the world, and anyone who spent the night with us went home with a back scratcher.
A lot of people had a good time, including some well mannered rain deer.
As you know, I was weaving away, planning my future, when my daughter surprised me by arranging the return of my wonderful old counterbalance loom. Having it would be worth the extra week it might add to my weaving schedule.
The opportunity arose for a good deed to be inserted into the moving of the Myra from Cleveland by inviting an old friend to move the loom. A friend from nearly forty years ago. A few extra days were added to my start-up, but what the heck.
Actually, I did suffer some mental "heck", because that's just how I am. Today I just tried "breathe in, breathe out" for several minutes. Tonight I learned the big switch would happen tomorrow. The universe heard I have enough thread on my shelves to weave 444 new towels.
Whoa. That is a lot of thread! I like your color choices.
ReplyDeleteWow! A lot of thread and a lot of beautiful colours.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous display of thread! Did you sell some towels at the bazaar? -Jenn
ReplyDeleteI have only 15 towels left in inventory. Hence my anxiety over delay in getting a new loom up and running.
DeleteSuch vibrant colours!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you show us!
ReplyDeleteWow, 444 towels. You will be a very busy lady.
ReplyDeleteYour sister’s quilts look lovely.
Roll on loom day.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness. That is a big undertaking.
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow of colors is irresistible! Have you thought of doing some rainbow towels? Fingers crossed for an uneventful installation of the new loom...
ReplyDeleteThat's a LOT of thread, but you know 444 towels will sell in no time. The colours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Rainbow towels!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colors....That blue is my favorite.
ReplyDelete444 towels? Wow.
ReplyDeleteAnd rather a lot of lucky and happy recipients.
That yarn, those colours - truly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHope the loom delivery goes smoothly.
Wow 444 towels!!! That will be an accomplishment! All pretty colors though!!
ReplyDeletebetty
Woohoo!! Up and running at last.
ReplyDeleteIt's never an idea to do a stall alone... comfort breaks are needed and that's always when you miss a sale!!
Keep on weaving. Lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be in the bazaar, everything looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHow far would that thread stretch if you tied it all end to end?
ReplyDeleteI'll get back to you.
DeleteWith my talent for wasting time, I could spend days stacking and re-stacking those colours...
ReplyDeleteHope the new loom is swiftly installed and you're happily weaving next week.
So did you sell much? You sound very busy, but I'm glad it's because you are doing something you love.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful those vibrant colors are!
ReplyDeleteYou are sooo impressive.
ReplyDeleteHappy 444!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful news the loom will soon be there with you.
What a beautiful thing you're doing. I just am in such awe of you. And those colors- what pleasure you must get from working with them.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the sale went so well. Congratulations on getting your loom back.
ReplyDeletegetting those boxes of thread must be like getting a big order of frit. so much fun to unpack and glory over the colors.
ReplyDeleteExactly! and there were three layers! My UPS friend moved it in for me.
DeleteSo exciting! I'm in no hurry, so I will wait for you to replenish your supplies, but I simply must have more of your amazing dish towels.
ReplyDeleteThank you. That's what I decided, too. Towels will always be there, and so will I, until I'm not, so let's keep on keeping on.
DeleteThe colours are so beautiful. I could spend all day just looking at your shelves!!

I'm glad the sale went so well. It's a beautiful looking table of wares! And yes, next year -- back scratchers! A good back scratcher is a necessity of life!
ReplyDeleteEnough thread to weave a rainbow round the world.
ReplyDeleteI will be keeping an eye on your website for some of those.
The rainbow colours on your shelves are such a sight on the dull miserable day it is here today.
ReplyDeleteHoly Hannah!! That's quite the supply you have there.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are going to be busy. Love the variety of colors. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Lots of useful and well made tea towels on the way
ReplyDeleteMental heck is a new expression to me.
