For years my sisters and I have been talking about having a
festival booth. Something to sell goods fit for modern fairies, mermaids,
goddesses, and pirates. Maybe modern trolls too.
My older sister Ali and I had tried once when I was 10 and
she was 12 to sell our homemade hippy crafts at a flea market in Nanaimo, but our hand carved leather hair clips and miniature sacks of
carefully collected stones were no competition for $3 VHS’.
After more than a decade, we were ready to try it again!
This time selling Arabic treasures (brought over by my sister from Egypt), Isis
wings, neon glass beaded bracelets, face painting and hair wraps. Our booth was
beautiful and a total success. We made so many people happy, and, not to toot
our own horns, but brought a unique edge to the Vancouver Folk Fest Bazaar.
A good friend of mine, Laura (also manager at Kaboodles toy
store) also helped us out, and brought along some of her beautiful hand
crocheted works, which you can check out on her Etsy site, www.etsy.com/walkthetwine.
We learned so much, and have a much better grasp on the
whole thing than we did a year ago. Let’s do it again!
