I love what y'all do and I'm so sorry to hear about some of the less-than-perfect guests to your booth. Y'all clearly go to a lot of effort to make it a lovely, creative place and its too bad that some folks are not self-aware. Please don't give up. What you're doing is lovely and magical.....and necessary.
Thank you so much for commenting, Carl, and for the encouragement. I guess you’ve found one spot where this first issue falls a bit short. I did not do a great job in communicating that while we observe the messiness of a summer market crowd, we also attempt to practice acceptance, a letting go of control (part of working with typewriters, after all, is the acceptance of mistakes), and a love for the messier parts of humanity. I should have ended that bit of our newsletter with that sense of acceptance and even joy in the moment — something to remember for future issues! ☺️💕 N.B. I do have some healthy boundaries, though, in that I will never find joy in dogs relieving themselves on my white curtains 😂
Oh, I’m the opposite over here in Scotland. Our summer has consisted of rain and more rain so I’ve been reluctant to try out my first market for fear of my paper getting soaked.
Ah yes, I should dedicate the next issue to rain!! 🌧️ There are plenty of tricks to staying dry at the market but when working with certain types of paper just the moisture in the air is enough to cause problems. You’re probably wise to wait for the dry season — wait, does Scotland have a dry season?!

Enjoyed this very much, thank you for sharing your experiences! It was in the 90’s today in Pigeon Forge Tn. Looking so forward to fall…
Thank you so much, First Subscriber! ☺️ Yes, in the 90’s here as well today. I’m quite ready for the season to change!

Nope! 🤣
