Can't win them all

So this weekend I participated in the pomegranate festival in Logandale, Set up was on Thursday and the show was Friday and Saturday. My mom was out of town so Sabrina had to come to the show both days.

We will just say that the show had a MATURE audience, I think I was the youngest adult there:) I was told that on Saturday there would be a younger crowd,because kids were performing and their parents would be there to watch, well...... Saturday was pretty much a replay of Friday.
We did have a giggle on Saturday... there was this girl, maybe 12 or 13 years old, she came to my booth several times by herself, then brought some of her friends, came by herself again, she was asking for the price of things and if the signs were made in smaller sizes. After about two hours of back and forth, my brother said to me "I wish she would go ahead and steal something already, so we can stop watching her" LOL. She brought another sign to us that was six dollars and asked if we had one that size for girls, I didn't. Then my brother says "I think she wants to buy something". HE WAS RIGHT!!!!! this girl only had $6.00 and was dying to buy something from me, and was bringing all of her friends to see my stuff!!!!
I felt so bad for thinking the worst of her, I let her buy the sign she originally wanted ($13.00) for $6.00. The look on her face was PRICELESS, she said "you would really do that?" . it was a sign about sisters, she was giving it to her older sister who just had a baby. It was soo sweet.
So that and these pictures were the best part of the weekend.....

Sabrina got her face painted both days of the show, it turned out sooo cute!

OMG! She is frickin adorable with the painted face. She's adorable anyway, the painting on her face are awesome! Don't feel too bad, Diane got blown out of Kingman.

Hi my name is Shanell. I stopped very quickly at your booth my brother had a football game that day. I loved your stuff. I did the pomegranate festival 2 years ago and boy it was a flop. I have a bow business called adjustabows.com, and I can feel your pain. It is a lot of work to not have it turn out. Hopefully your craft show this weekend will do better.

Hi Shanell,
I remember you...ok I remember your daughter... it was soo cute she was looking at Sabrina,and sabrina kept saying, I think she wants to play with me :)I think for that show they think people will just come,but I did not see a single sign in town to get people out to the show, they could even do a sign off the highway, the town is not that far in.Oh well lesson learned:)
