Today I’m wrapping up all the packaging and printing I can get done for my last holiday market craft fair this weekend in Arcata, CA.

I got my bookmarks tassled & all the greeting cards I could make before running out of ink.

Now it’s time for a haircut.

Woosh, it’s all coming to a close. Oy!

Everett’s Bar sign, Arcata, CA. https://www.flickr.com/photos/stewf/54837109712/in/album-72157665902210575

While we were shooting this fantastic sign, someone from behind asked us why we’re taking photos. Turns out she’s the owner.

There has been a bar at this location since the early 1900s. Her dad bought it in 1951, and it’s been in the family ever since. We asked her what happened to the neon. “Hooligans.” She invited us to see inside.

The movie One Battle After Another filmed in many out-of-the-way birding locales I’ve visited recently including Arcata, Eureka, Lompoc and Borrego Springs.

Weird to see a 30-second scene in a car chase and realize, I’ve stood right there with binoculars.

Movie is excellent. There are a few birds seen but they are incidental to the plot.

Did my first vending event without the hubby to assist. Arcata’s Friday Night Market has a slightly different vibe than Eureka’s, but it’s all good.

Still meeting wonderful people who I want to converse with, but tonight it was challenging because I was the only one working in the booth. I think I lost a lot of sales because my hubby wasn’t there to be a second salesperson. There were moments when the booth was quite crowded and the conversationalists seemed to be unaware I needed to pay attention to others besides them…

I need to figure out how to politely excuse myself without offense. still working on it.

But it went well, and I proved to myself that I could do it by myself. I loaded and unloaded the car myself, got all the setup done in 1 hr 15 min, and takedown in 45 min. Then reloaded and unloaded at home. So that was a huge deal for me: proving to myself that in a pinch, it can be done. I feel tired, but it’s a good tired.

Tonight I set up my booth for the first time by myself. I had to do it eventually, so now’s as good a time as any.

it’s a lot of stuff, and while I usually have my husband helping me, he can’t tonight. So it will take me double the time to set it up and take it down. I’m sure I can do it, I just expect it’s going to be a long night. Haha!

Wish me luck!
