1st event, sold an original, it was a good day.

My first event went well. I attended a fundraiser for Beyond Gymnastics, a friend's small business. I brought paint and some things for the kids to go nuts and paint on. I made one sale. I noticed I tended to chatter on a bit too much, probably from nerves. This weekend I'm heading to a flee market for a bit in the morning before it gets too hot and see how that goes!
What I learned:

• Have snacks for your BF so he doesn't eat all the event food
• No need to explain the piece, sometimes people don't care what the art means to you, it just matters if it speaks to them
• Have more cash on hand and utilize a card swipe mechanism, I just ordered Square, it just came in the mail
• Have a plan on what you want your table to look like
• Younger generations don't care about bookmarks, there's no need because Ipads and kindles are the new book, but anyone my age and older seems to like them
