Coob hits the not so mean streets of Burlington, VT

So, I did it. I survived my first COOB Originals outing. The Queen City Craft Bazaar was Saturday and it was awesome! I have to confess to being nervous and feeling like a rookie. Especially after forgetting part of my display and a bunch of much needed supplies at home that morning. But, no one knew, except me, and now you. Comments from veteran vendors were reassuring telling me that my display looked very put together and professional.

While I have nothing to compare it too, I think I did pretty damn well! Everything was well received. I was pretty much wiped clean of business cards, which offers some promise of future business. And, I made some connections which I hope will come through. Oh yeah, I sold a bunch of stuff too :P

Then there were the other vendors. I'm not sure which was more amazing to me: how incredibly kind, encouraging, and enthusiastic they were towards me or the fact that I was part of an event which showcased these seriously talented people.

Well, you get the idea. Now check out just a few of the other awesome vendors!

My new crocodile mug from my show neighbor danmade. Incredible talent.It was cool to meet New Duds in person after only seeing them online. Sweet threads!

Erinn from Urban Farmgirl is incredible with a hook. Her work speaks for itself!

To see who else was there check out the complete vendor list.

And of course, a very enormous thank you to the incredible Kacey of Subsixstudios who not only produced the event, but found me, encouraged me to apply to the show, and is responsible for this photo and blurb making it into our local paper, Seven Days. THANK YOU!!!
