Thanks to everyone who helped make the Harvest Craft Show a success

It was a great time talking to many people at the Leesport Farmers Market.
The weather was warm and large crowds attended the event.
We met new people and some friends even stopped by to visit.
While there we were commissioned to create some custom orders and were able to sell existing hand-wrought ironwork products from our inventory.
I enjoy creating and selling ironwork, but, sometimes when a person is ready to make a purchase, I almost hesitate to sell it because I like that item too much.
Another blacksmith taught me that you never sell your first creation of any product. The first of any item is usually a bit rough and not as refined as subsequent items, the rest is sentimental.
