This poor little Trillium decumbens (Trailing Trillium) made the mistake of growing in an area with an overabundance of grasshoppers. It looks a bit frazzled. I feel the same, when thinking about everything I need to get caught up on in the coming week.
Stormy weather washed out the traditional best-sales-day of our last spring craft show Saturday. But like one neighbor observed, it could have been worse -- the tents could have been upside down. One bright spot was meeting an artist whose work I'd previously admired on her Etsy shop. I spent some more of my George money on one of her pieces similar to this one.
I'm thinking of trying Etsy myself, for one-of-a-kind soapy things, or the "bargain bars" that I normally sell only at shows. (We call them "cosmetically challenged" soaps because we hate to call them ugly.) Just one more item to add to the list of "things I should probably be doing instead of blogging"...

I guess Trilliums have some bad days also!
ReplyDeleteI ended up giving all your soap away last Christmas--wonderful little thank you gifts to friends--so I didn't get to try any myself. I need to check your new line! BTW, all reports were extremely favorable from friends who received the soap gifts.
ReplyDeleteSoap sale washed out.

ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, I will!
ReplyDeleteTom, bad leaf days I guess LOL.
Thanks Linda, I appreciate the feedback!
FC, not so funny when it's money out of your pocket. :(
Pamela, well could be. I just assumed hoppers because I see a lot of them in that area -- it sounds like rain, with them all hopping away through the leaves!
