So we did our first Friday Night Live event 2 weeks ago and it turned out pretty good – despite the heat. I was reminded once again (by nightfall) that I need some battery powered lights under my canopy. Orange street light dosen’t penetrate very far and makes shopping rather difficult – in case you didn’t know.

I had purses from Paula D and 5 Paper Mache’ animals from Cindy M – sold 2 of the animals.

I presented Knit Scarves and belts, Flower Power (pins, hair barrets, and magnets) and lots of Jewelry. I love the little miniature soldier earrings! Lots of people looked at them but I had no takers.  The guitar pic jewelry was popular – I sold a pair of earrings and the bracelet. The Silver set and the Phoenix Set sold pretty quickly which made me very happy – they paid for my booth rental! At this rate I will still be $300 in the hole at the end of the summer… hmmm…. not counting the lights I haven’t bought yet…

Crap.

I planted my Earth Tones Dent Corn last night – not much came in the pack and I’m thinking about going back to Rural King to get some more.  I had to wait later to plant this than I wanted because my gardening neighbor also planted corn (to eat) and I didn’t want to cross pollinate and ruin his food crop!  So this is what it looks like (image borrowed from Johnny’s Selected Seeds):

 I’m going to attempt to make beads out of the dried kernels – hopefully those colors will as impressive off the cob as they are in the picture!
