This past weekend I set up shop with my mobiles at the Moncton Farmers Market on Saturday and on Sunday, at the Shediac Market in the Park. It was my first time at the market in Shediac and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is Atlantic Canada's largest summertime weekly market, run by this fantastic couple, Shawn and Treva. You will find everything from musical entertainment to face painting, organic produce to, of course, arts and crafts:
Although I love the atmosphere, I don't think it's the right venue for my mobiles. Nine times out of ten, they aren't going to be an impulse purchase. It's more something that is carefully thought through. That being said, I think it has been a great way to get my name out there.
So my plan of action is to focus on my upcoming shows, the Victoria Park Art and Craft Fair in Moncton next weekend and the Sussex International Balloon Festival in September. As well as the custom work. It feels odd changing my plan so early in the game, but my gut says this is the right move.
