In my 20's and early 30's I went to a lot of farmers markets and craft fairs. There's a certain way to present myself to the public that I've settled on, and have noticed something similar in other vendors. You're relentlessly cheerful. You're enthusiastic about how great your product is, but not invasively so. You agree to anything the customer wants (within the limits of sanity and of how the Universe works). And at the end of the day you're both exhilarated and utterly spent. 

A bit like teaching school, in fact.

And here I am at the start of the market with my dog, my daughter and son in law's honey, and my corn dollies. I see that next time, covering the extra stock would be a good idea.

Another new design. I had no idea I would enjoy designing corn dollies, but I do. The "Eye of the Owl" uses Dala wheat, which I harvested with scissors and, once I visited the hardware store, a Japanese sickle. Dala wheat comes from the Dalarna region in Sweden. Being a relatively ancient variety, there is a lot of diversity in the color and length of the stalks and in whether the seedheads have awns (beards) or not. Barn Owl Bakery uses the wheat because, as they say, it "has a mild and alluring flavor." Yay!
