Bend, 20 degrees and DRY
I always forget how living on the Pacific Coast dictates how I feel. We’re in Bend Oregon and I spent yesterday vending at the SunRiver Holiday Traditions Festival. It was a nice event, many talented folks. Two friends I made in Shaniko in September invited me to share their booth space. The bonus was our condo was right out the back door of the vending hall. We set up in the morning and I spent the day demoing on the sock machine and selling socks.
This morning I am parched. The fan in our condo ran all night long and I swear sucked out all the moisture in the air, my lungs and skin. I feel like I am stranded on a desert island. So I ran the tub full of hot water and sat in the bathroom and breathed. Ahhhh… Ok, enough complaining.
Here are some images of this past two days.

The booth. These gals have it down pat. I liked how they used PVC poles in umbrella bases to set up a black curtain divider. It provided a nice backdrop to our booth and separated us from the lady behind.
So it was a good day. I met my goals and I have some new great ideas for next year.
Now we’re off to a real mall to do some shopping. Talk about sensory overload. I hate mall shopping. When the only shopping opportunities you have is Wally World and Home-Boy Depot, a mall is very intimidating.
On Tuesday I’ll be putting all the socks I have remaining in my inventory up on my store. Check back then if you are looking for a great gift or stocking stuffer.
