Last Saturday I participated in a local Christmas Bazaar - as a vendor.
BLACKberry Fields display West Guilford Community Centre, Christmas Bazaar |
Talk about stepping out of my comfort zone. Though I have received positive feedback, from my friends and family about our preserves and my "Tied by Me" fleece blankets, it's completely different to put myself out there for the public to see and critique. Add the fact that I have regular seizures, that are induced by sensory stimulation. Seizures that literally leave me speachless. Thankfully my Grandma was willing and able to come sit by me through out the day, just in case. (She also taught me a new crochet stitch :)
The bazaar was a success. I sold many preserves and blankets. Took orders for Christmas gifts. Got ideas for new projects. Talked to many people without stumbling with my words. Most important, I gained the confidence to do it again in a couple of weeks.
