No Rain--All Shine!

Great folks!  Great kids!  Great food!

Selling Snap Stories at the Tower Grove Farmer’s Market this past Saturday was GREAT^3!

Highlights:

• A four-year-old girl who climbed her first tree right behind our booth—you go girl!—came down from her tree-adventure and got busy with the Snap Stories.  SHE TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD how to assemble the books.  I showed her one page & she wanted to keep doing it—luckily her mom bought her one of her own—she was on fire!  (She ended up being a much better sales gal than I was!)
• THREE independent people (who BTW are not related to me!) came back for “seconds” because they had thought of more Snappy stories they wanted to make or gift.
• I didn’t count, but about half the customers were men, which TOTALLY surprised me.
• A gal from www.kidliterate.com stopped by the booth and coordinated an opportunity for me to get the books into Pudd’nHead Books in Webster Groves.
• Madeline Dames introduced herself and said I should use her name to connect with Great Day St. Louis.
• Two boys from Kimker Hill Farm who were walking around the market place and playground area with a big basket of muffins, liked the idea of selling Snap Stories, too (for a commission, of course).  So we added a few to their basket.  They made $2 for every book they sold and they did an impressive job!  (My mom even bought one from them!)  I wish I had a picture of them—it was great!
• My two-and-half-year-old daughter started calling the books “Snap Stories” rather than “momma’s books.”

The entire day was filled with F-U-N highlights, but I’m going to break off here and share some photos.  Sorry there aren’t more, but—I’m happy to report—I was too busy…
