Minnesotans seem to roll with the seasons quite seamlessly. We have to rotate our wardrobes in the closet to accommodate 97° heat in the summer and -25° cold in the winter. We need boots as well as flip-flops, tank tops as well as parkas.
Now, it’s summertime and the livin’ is easy. We’re all outside enjoying warm weather, the cool waters of our 10,000 lakes, and lots of alfresco dining. For Auntie B’s Wax it means a few outdoor festivals to enjoy the fresh air, the happy crowds, some good eating and good music en plein aire, and also some happy customers in my booth.
Have a ride through the park in a horse-drawn wagon and be serenaded by the driver to boot.
Mingle with the festival crowd and artisans. Everyone is there to have fun, so they’re all in a good mood.
Husby and I have been on the road these past couple of weekends enjoying summertime living and selling my wares. The month of July has taught us much (zip first then velcro {which means nothing to someone who doesn’t “lock up” a canopy at night}) and has given us some nice memories to talk about. We’ve seen some long-time craft show friends, have accommodated repeat customers, and met lots of new people. We’ve eaten some good food and had some fun dancing to the music wafting through the warm, summer air from the stage in the center of a park.
Happy festival goers. Someone is about to become a bride!
Look for the cute, little Auntie B’s Wax booth at your next art/craft show.
If you haven’t visited an art and craft fair lately, you’re missing out. Go forth and imbibe in the elixir that is life! Meet the creative people and be inspired to create yourself. Art, music, crafting, food…it’s all about making life richer. And who, I ask you, doesn’t crave the richest life possible?

It looks like a lot of fun! Hope you’re doing well, sale-wise, too!
Husby and I usually have a lot of fun at these shows, which is the main goal, because after all the hard work that goes into it, we like to relax and have some fun. Luckily I’ve been making a profit too, but I never expect to earn a living doing this. Fun is the name of the game.
Sara I can’t wait for summer markets time. Looks like you had a splendid day and the weather came to the party too.
Fine weather is always welcome at the festivals! I don’t have another until later in September. Plenty of time to stock up!
