A life in Technicolor

Every Saturday I wake up worried. Worried I will never make it to the Farmer's Market in time, worried my tent won't go up, worried I'll forget some little bolt that is crucial to the opening of my booth. Then 8 am rolls around and I realize all of that worry and stress was wasted because everything is up, ready to sell and so colorfully inspiring.

I am so grateful for the colors our world is painted in and that I can see and enjoy them all. Above are a few shots from my booth and as you can tell I believe in using all of the colors we have been blessed with when creating my art. Nothing instantly changes my disposition as much as a bright cheery color. And nothing proves all of that Saturday morning stress was wasted as much as when I sit back and admire my booth at 8 am and SMILE because I live in a world of color and have created my own 10' x 10' world of pure happiness.

Downtown Art & Craft Market (SLC)

Well I have made it through 4 Saturdays at the Downtown Farmer's and Art Market. I wasn't sure what to expect from it all but I am happy to report that I have met a lot of great people and so many cute little girls. I have officially found my unexpected audience. Who would have thought 6 year old girls and I would have the same likes: pink, frills, and as much over the top fun as possible. So many little girls pass my booth yanking on their mom's hand saying, "Can we go in there?!" They don't have any idea what I am selling but they like what they see and that's just fine with me.

A rainbow of inspiring COLORS make a pretty tuffet top.

Little girl aprons lined up waiting for a friend to bake with. Pure Happiness.
