The last weekend in June, we hauled ourselves and jewelry to Cordele, GA, to the Watermelon Festival. What fun!! When we left the show,the temperature was 105 degrees and that wasn’t heat index. But so help me, I was so busy (in spite of what the pictures look like), I never noticed the heat. Thank goodness I had lots of help. You don’t see Jane, as she was the photographer. My friend and assistant, Marcia, was doing the designing and she designed bracelets most of the day. The ladies loved making their own bracelets. Pat (tiny, always neat) picked up extra customers and CC, my grand niece, was my Girl Friday. The next festival is in October and I will take better pictures. I have my first home party on July 28 and will make sure there are pictures. Looks like home parties will be keeping Jane and me busy until the fall festivals start. We have already been invited to a juried show. That’s a biggie. Now I want to do earrings, but Becky is my “slow down” person, so I will hold off. Come back next week for home party pictures. Oh, by the way, I sold enough bracelets to pay off 1/3 of my investment. I do not count my time ’cause I so love doing it, but my advisor, Becky, is working on that.
