Okay, so we won an award on Fourth Street for Best Booth Display- lights, check..rug, check..draperies, check....sales....no check! For 18 years and a 4 hour set up..including lights at every show(thanks to my husband, Bob, of course) we were finally acknowledged for all the hard work and we appreciate it...and thank you..BUT, did the great , bright display, more inviting than a Mothers arms help our sales? No siree...I won't repeat all of the fine points made already regarding the reasons for a bad show this year...we sold a large piece first thing Friday morning and thought that this was a great start...well, it was the only large piece in three days.
We love our street, Fourth Street, for alot of reasons...we are situated in front of the nicest couples home...they would win "Best of Show" for nice.The wife bakes for three days, allows us to us their bathroom and plug in to electric....we are in love ....with them!
We will be back- I think this year was an oddity..it was our third year on this block..the least amount of money earned.We think the World Equestrian games which drew 50,000 wealthy horse lovers to Lexington(an hr. away), cut into the well healed crowds not being there..don't know what we would do differently to pull in more money next time...but we have a year to think about it....
