Tonight is the last night of the Friday Night Market series. After a summer of evening street fair events featuring local artists, makers, food, and music, the event is finally wrapping things up. Soon it will be colder, wetter, and the days will be shorter making outdoor venues like this impossible.
But today, the sun is out and the temperatures are a nice lower 60s—perfect for a nice stroll through booths of community artisans doing their thing they feel passionate about. Me included.
I hope to see you there.

Eureka Friday Night Market has it all; a North Coast Growers Association farmers market with the finest in local fruits, vegetables and flowers, a diverse array of local food and merchandise vendors, quality live music mixed with family friendly-activities, and a bar featuring the best of Humboldt’s
Just got back from my second day perusing the North Country Fair in Arcata, which is a huge arts fair with vendors from all over northern California and Oregon.
I got to chat briefly with some artists, and purchased some prints and cards. I’m really happy with what I got, and they’ll all look gorgeous in my home!
I also got to talk with an artist who used mesh walls to suspend her artwork, and I may consider that at some point. Pricey investment, but potentially a solution to my ever-shrinking table-top space. If I ever want to upgrade to selling a lot of framed prints, I’m going to invest in a way to do that. It was nice seeing the walls in action, and I was impressed!
Onward!

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!

Tonight #FridayNightMarkets shifts from their summer home in Eureka to a month-long stint in Arcata, about 15 minutes north and the home of Cal Poly Humboldt.
I’m excited for the new experience, new attendees, new venue! It should be a lot of fun! We’ll see how it goes!
