The preteens loved Milk Money. So I have a bit over 10% of the amount I need to buy a cow through the Episcopal Relief and Development foundation. I can make a donation now that will be considered a share in a cow. Combined with others' donations, someone somewhere is going to get a cow and a chance to change their lives. They'll have milk to drink and can sell the extra milk to others to bring more money into the household. Is that great or what? I'll be sharing more about Milk Money with tutorials. I'd love to get more folks involved in this effort. I'll tell you more very soon. I promise.
MSH helped me set up my booth. Then he helped deliver meals (barbeque) for St Christopher and then was off to watch his alma mater MSU beat UH. A couple of our dance friends helped me break down and pack up. What a nice surprise. They came to browse the goods, but all the vendors had left or were leaving already, but they stayed to help me. I am blessed with helpful friends.
All in all, my first outing was successful. I think I need to find a venue that's a bit more Bohemian maybe. You know, more into the whole "maker" and "upcycle" movement and more artsy. I think that's what I need for my Vest Totes and Tote-A-Tees. My "regular" bags went over well for this group. Here's some pics of some of the bags that sold.
