ProPanels



I recently received two panels from the ProPanel company and set them up at my most recent Farmer’s Market appearance. I like them! Adds that certain . . . that certain . . .

Um, anyway, using them gave me the ability to push my two pegboard panels together so I could show larger pieces.

And it was a nice day! Hot, actually, but very comfortable under the canopy.

But here’s the thing. I’ve observed that most people going to the Farmer’s Market are there to, in reality, buy spring onions, or bok choy. Not art. I’ve noticed that artisans selling jewelry, or purses, seem to do OK. But "art" art . . . stuff to hang on the wall . . . that doesn’t seem to do that well. I ended up selling two little 8x10 pix to a nice, very discerning young lady. That was it.

But lots of compliments!

Congrats on the compliments and the sale. A sale is a sale even if it is a small one.

True.

And, there's the fact that I give myself $.25 every time I get a compliment.

It all adds up!
