Market Days and Goliad shops
Posted by Robin Haws on Tuesday, March 17, 2009
Well, to begin with, Market Days was kind of a flump. (word from the Lukus dictionary) I sent out positive vibes all week long hoping that the weathermen would be wrong about the rain. I mean really, when are they right? Apparently they are right on the days that I have outdoor plans and they predict rain. It was cold. Really cold. The rain made it seem colder than any cold day we had this winter. My great friend Amanda went with me and I was so excited for her to have her first market days experience. I'm relieved that she was such a good sport! And she actually wants to do it again! It really was a dreary day. There were very few vendors and even fewer customers. Ah, the old ladies with their plastic bonnets. Gotta love em! Surprisingly I did make a few sales so to those customers I tip my hat and give a very large thank you. I'd also like to take a moment and make sure to really give a huge shout out to the family members who braved the weather and came out to say "hey, we support you". My parents and little brother, as well as Leslie and Clara (sure, you're family too!). I am so grateful to have the unending support of the people around me. And a big hurrah for my wonderful hubby. He bravely takes on both children over night so I can get a jumpstart on the market days weekend. Without him I would be lost! And would have ripped out all my hair! So, weather is to blame and I am looking forward with great expectation to next month!
Little tip for all...
After market days I stopped at a wonderful antique store on the corner of US59 and Market Street there in Goliad,TX. If any of you are EVER in the area please go in to that store! The treasures were endless and I spent a good deal of time perusing all the wonderful items. I purchased a few things that I had to have and then spent over an hour chatting with the owner, Laura. It was one of the most pleasant shopping experiences I've ever had. Gotta love small Texas town shops!!
