Nelson came to visit while Jana was at a baby shower semi-nearby.  a couple co-workers came to visit, as well.  and, we made friends with most every other vendor who kept us company in the basement room of the Urban Academy.  right next to us was actually one of the teachers, which explains why so very many people coming by knew her name.<br \/>\ninterestingly, people seem to really like looking at my photo cards, but aren&#8217;t so very interested in buying them.  nor is there much interest in the pendants or rings.  magnet sets are selling well and, after a slow start, so are magnet monograms and singles.<br \/>\ni supported my fellow crafters by buying a cat-shaped spoon rest and a cat-eared\/devil-horned sparkly toque (it&#8217;s pretty fucking fantastic, actually).  i&#8217;m sure i&#8217;ll spend more of my profits there tomorrow.  especially on those extra-chewy homemade chocolate chip cookies.  yum.<br \/>\nnow, i&#8217;m home after finally getting to go out for sushi with Christopher after we closed up shop for the day.  i&#8217;ve counted my money and now, i think i&#8217;m going to lie down on the floor for a while and unkink my back.<br \/>\ni&#8217;m such a party animal.<br \/>\np.s.   if you&#8217;re not doing anything tomorrow, the craft fair is open for one more day!  <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&#038;source=s_q&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;q=101+Third+Street+New+Westminster,+BC&#038;sll=49.329305,-123.122351&#038;sspn=0.006517,0.018926&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;hq=&#038;hnear=101+3rd+St,+New+Westminster,+Greater+Vancouver+Regional+District,+British+Columbia,+Canada&#038;ll=49.209201,-122.906735&#038;spn=0.006533,0.018926&#038;t=h&#038;z=16\">come see me from 10-5!<\/a>  i like visitors!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>after a very slow and worrisome start, i ended day one with many small sales and one HUGEMONGOUS one. seriously, i didn&#8217;t think that one lady was going to buy SIX magnet sets and TWO pendants and THREE more magnets! that was almost a hundred-dollar sale! holy crap! there was fairly steady traffic all day, <span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span> <span class=\"more-link-wrap\"><a href=\"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/craft_fair_day\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Read More &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,3,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nablopomo","category-photos","category-words"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2755\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
