Llwellyn Was A Hit!!

A Light Bulb Moment




Ever have a light bulb moment and think why didn't I think about that before?! Well yesterday after day two of the Llwellyn Elementary Holiday Bazaar it hit me. I was driving home to Hillsboro in total disbelief that I had done better then last weekend (each day) and felt really good and not necessarily because I now had money for holiday shopping.

I was wondering why I hadn't done this well at my other shows? Or felt this happy? My display was the same as it ever is with at most a different table cloth. It was at a school, I've done several at schools. And then poof it hit me!!

Lewis and Llwellyn were the first and only shows I'd done where a percentage of my sales went directly to a cause. Duh!!! Who doesn't love a good cause especially when it benefits a child, especially their own child. That explained the crowd, the excitement, the sales, the good feeling...everything! We were all there making sales and HELPING others. Um hello, can we say duh!?
So yay for the shows where it isn't just about the crafter!
