    Good luck with the show. Sure hope that cat and mouse don't do any damage to your set up though.

    Tony,

    I sold the cat & mouse within 10 seconds of putting it up there. Had to make some more sets last night!!!

    Thanks to all, will report back later........

    Absolutely great day today, couldn't be happier. Sold more today than I thought I would do for both days. Larger bowls, 12" and up, sold better than some smaller items. I would have thought the boxes and canisters would do well, but they didn't. Sold quite a few small NE bowls, a dozen or so light bulb necklaces, couple of turkey calls, tops, etc.

    All in all, a great day. Consumer confidence seemed high............

    Will report back after tomorrow. Off to bed, I'm beat.

    PS Forgot to mention, the SquareUp credit card reader did great. Glad I had it, I did almost 1/2 the sales with it.

    Today was another good day, altho' a bit slower than Friday. Several vases, a couple of hollowforms, some large bowls, a couple of fairly large chestnut vases. Took some orders for jewelry, a couple of peppermills, a pet urn, and a cremation urn.

    Approached by two local galleries, so I must have someone fooled..............

    No takers on my big cherry burl vase, which was OK with my wife, as she promptly returned it to it's abode on top of the dining room cupboard..........

    Congratulations. Sounds like you did well, and I hope something happens with the galleries.
