Preparing and setting up for craft shows is a lot of work and sometimes very time consuming. What makes them worthwhile besides being lucrative is the great people you meet. Crafters are always ready to help out a fellow crafter, share information about other craft shows, and entertain each other when the customers are thin. I have been fortunate to meet some very nice people and collect some very good friends along the way. This is my friend Therese who has been my neighbor at the Lake George shows for three years. She sells pieces of art that is made up of the wood, bark, and mushrooms she finds in the woods near her home. She applies paper mache faces to them and they become "Woodland Divas". They are the coolest things I've seen at any craft show. Therese and I have a great time together and she truly makes any long day fly by. Nothing happens by accident and I know we were put together for a reason. There are only so many people God puts in your life the you can truly connect with. The best thing is, we both feel very blessed for our "accidental meeting".
