I had a nice day at the Farmers Market. It was a little slow but I did sell a few paintings. It's always fun to sell but my love for the Market has little to do with how many paintings people buy. I really love the vibe at the Market. There is a feeling of community and there is always fun things to watch. Lots of people walking their dogs or their kids (yup I saw a kid on a leash). I like visiting with other vendors, talking with strangers as if we are good friends, seeing old friends and frequently making new ones. Today was no exception. I met an amazing girl named Leah who made the request to be wheelchair buddies. Yes please! She and her sisters were so adorable. Her mom bought two of my paintings (leap fearlessly and love fiercely). We swapped wheelchair stories and I'm pretty certain we will see each other again.

My next charming new found friend was a goose named Gladys and her owner. Gladys rides in a baby stroller and wears diapers. She let me pet her and it was obvious is was not her first time posing for a picture. Her owner was very kind and friendly as well.

There were many people that stopped to look and talk about my art. I really love meeting people that are moved by my work and make a personal connection with it.
Setting up my art at the Market has become one of the things I love best about summer. It's a lot of work to get my booth set up and I am forever grateful to my incredible parents that come help me set up, take down, and are there for everything in between. They are so supportive and this girl is beyond lucky to have them with me!
