Valentown Heritage Festival

I should have posted this yesterday but I forgot, then got busy. The manager of the gift shoppe for this museum approached me at the Victor show about selling my stuff on consignment here. Their grand opening was yesterday. I took every stitched Sticky Notes I had on hand (82) to the museum on my Friday lunch hour. (How's that for incentive to get a bazillion made in time for the next show in August??) I also took a small acrylic display piece that holds 60 notepads, along with business cards, future shows cards and the little bio sheets I include with purchases. She emailed me Friday night that they set up my display right by the register. Next chance I get, I'll make a bunch of quilty greeting cards to sell there too.
She is very positive and enthusiastic, so here's hoping we all do well here. Judging by this ad, they had quite a bit going on yesterday.

For years I've been anti-Walmart because of their discrimination and paying practices. I would even say I've been boycotting Walmart but that's really been a non-issue because there isn't one convenient to me anyway. But now they've built a brand new SuperCenter in Macedon, making it the 2nd closest store to us. Steve and I went there last week to pick up one thing. Yesterday we went there for some garden things and grocery shopped. I've been trying to figure out why it's so appealing to me. I'm sure it's because it's a brand new store, very neat and clean with good signage. I sure hope I get this out of my system soon so I can go back to my boycott.
One of the things we bought yesterday was another hose reel. We already have one in the backyard, not in a box like this, but this one is for the deck. We have a Y-splitter thing on the faucet, with one end going to this hose on the deck. It's life-changing, I tell you! I used to water the deck plants with a watering can from the kitchen. We only have 8 pots but they are big pots that take a lot of water. I know I soak them better and more often with this set up. Why it took us 6 years to come to this conclusion I don't know.

I went to breakfast at Steve's Place, with Pam yesterday to celebrate her birthday. Then I went to our last Geva Theater performance of the season with Lynn and Linda. It was Urinetown, the Musical. It was very good - a big ol' corny over the top musical - lots of fun. We went to Sticky Lips BBQ for dinner. A fine time was had by all.
Sunday is NBPTD. Nothin' but Pine Tree Designs work. So I should have new things to show you tomorrow.

I water the plants on my front porch and at the foot of the stairs (6 in total) with a watering can, and it's a job I dread. However, we don't have a hose hookup at the front of the house, and I hate winding the hose even more than I hate lugging the watering can.
With the hoses they sell now we find we can hardly use any hose reel thing due to the kinking hoses. :-( So not much sense in buying the boxy thing.
As for boycott, I'm sure if one dug into other big stores their hiring employee issues would also turn one off.
btw I don't like ours since it went super center. Less available. and now they stock aisle making it hard to get around. The self checkouts are all out of order and have been.
