The weather was much more to our liking than last year - warm but not hot, hovering around 20 C without much humidity. Saturday was lovely and very busy, with few breaks in the action or anything.....though we did manage to slip in a few fattoush salads from Eastern Flavours, and the odd cold beer from Walkerville's booth.
The slate clocks made a great addition this year....and we always knew what time it was in the tent! We had bonus sounds and smells for atmosphere - the smell of fermenting grain from Hiram Walker, and the growling engines from the Detroit Indy on nearby Belle Isle.
Sunday began with a brief downpour just before opening - luckily Jane's wares can take some weather, but a lot of people had to frantically pull their stuff until the rains abated. Things tapered off other than some odd drizzle, but the crowds never fully returned, making for a steady but not truly busy day.
Overall sales were good for the long and tiring weekend....and more importantly, much less wood had to be loaded back into the van.
See you next year, Willistead Manor!
Loading up Van Go(gh)....
