Rainbows and Hopes



At the end of the Mad River Valley Show, while we were breaking down, a beautiful double rainbow appeared!  Since we were in an open field, you could see the complete arch.  This actually was the second time that weekend I saw a rainbow.  This was the more spectacular one.  Those of us who were still taking our tents down, stood in awe at the sight.  One of the exhibitors remarked that our "Pot of Gold" was waiting at the end! (Maybe that means the next show!) 


The Mad River Valley Show was a success.  Sales were down from last year but better than the year before.  It seems to be a fairly stable show take a few hundred dollars one way or the other. Would I have liked to have done better?  Yes, but there are other pluses to doing this show besides income.  I love being in VT this time of year.  The scenery is beautiful and the weather is usually a little "coolish" in the morning and evening giving me a taste of fall. I also get to visit with other artist friends who have become like family.  It's a happy time.  Despite the threat of rain, it held off until the very end and just a few sprinkles occurred as we were taking down the tent. It actually was a beautiful weekend.


So the rainbow is a promise.  Take it to mean what ever you want.  I choose to think it means hang in there, good things are coming! 

See you at the next show!  Check out my schedule at http://www.judyconnorjones.com/
