Jenny the Potter is my booth-neighbor in the Farm and Garden Building at Sheep and Wool in Maryland. Jenny travels all the way from Minneapolis, Minnesota to participate in the festival. Jenny brought her new baby, Benjamin, along with her daughter Lilly, brother, brother's girlfriend, Mom and Auntie. Some family members flew to Maryland, and some pulled the trailer full of cups, buttons and bowls. Jenny has quite a following and a line of fans formed Saturday morning to get first licks at her goods. My building has a few long-distance vendors coming as far away as Montana, Vermont and Wisconsin. Luckily, Kim and I only had to drive from upstate New York (after Kim traveled south from Ontario). We hit heavy weather in the form of torrential rain and lightning on the way down - so much so we had to pull off and get a room in Hagerstown. It was so comfy cozy in the Econolodge we were glad we did. Friday and Saturday nights were spent in the back of our van, on an air mattress Kim prepared for us. Despite all the hard work setting up, working the booth, and packing up, I got pretty decent rest at night. Spinning yarn under the full moon was absolutely divine.
