Market Update

Today was a record day for me! 'Record' in that for the first time in 5 years I sold zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Bupkes. Double zeros. N-O-T-H-I-N-G! But I did spend some money buying breakfast from the Bread People...almond croissant, cheese roll, cookies - you know: breakfast. So technically, I spent more than I took in, which makes me a L-O-S-E-R, so I made this when I got home:

Hey, if I didn't make fun of it, I'd be depressed, so I opted to have some fun. We decided the market over-all was slow since this is the last weekend before school starts, so everyone is either at the beach or buying school supplies. At least that's what we decided to believe.

Another thing about our market: it is truly International. We took some time last week to examine the participants as far as background, etc., and we have the following countries represented: China (2), Jordan, Thailand, Palestine and Mexico. And a new vendor that started this week is Greek. The rest of us are Mutts. Now, if WE can all get along, what's wrong with the rest of the world, hmmm? Think about it!

The Dahlia Guy is taking some time off to do some shows, so these are the last flowers we'll see until October. Please click on the photos for a more impressive version ... I shrink these guys so they upload in my lifetime, and something gets lost when they are scaled down:

That's all for today. I am playing with my PTI Guide Lines set to see what I can get it to do for me. And I may have to take a nap to rest up for the Olympics, which are on way past my bed time. :-)
