Last Saturday it was easier than what I thought it would be to get up at 5:30 am (when I usually sleep in)!! The anticipation of what was to come at the festival got me moving quickly. I had no idea what was going to unfold during the day. Would my Lilly Lu's Collection be a hit or a miss? Would I have enough merchandise to support the large St. Patty's crowd? Would people even notice me? If I am busy, how will I handle it. . with ease?
Let me tell you. . . It was a FABULOUS day!!! I left feeling so proud of myself and thinking "Hey, I've really got something here!" I was amazed at the local support, the people coming out that had seen me on Facebook, and the new customers that I acquired. It was such a successful day. I received such positive feedback, great suggestions for future creations, and had some great laughs with some great people! It will be for sure a day to remember. With one festival under my belt, I am now anxiously getting ready for Mayfest, May 7 from 10-6!! I am also very excited about the chance to start giving some private parties with my collection!! Thank you everyone for your support! Here are some pictures from the festival:
