Keepin' On

Monday again...

Good morning!  It is a beautiful spring day here in Kansas. I'm back at work and recovering from a busy two-day show, the annual Tulip Festival in my home of Wamego, KS.  What a wonderful turnout -- of course, the great weather had a lot to do with that!  I had my Bright Ideas Jewelry booth there, and did pretty well.  Also got some new ideas and great tips from other vendors about supplies (checking out Trimline and KD canopies), doing shows out of state (how to deal with the sales tax thing), and tips for easy packing/unpacking of supplies (working on a "fold-up" necklace display).
Have a wonderful week!
