Some shows are just down right sweet. You get sweet neighbors, a sweet location, sweet promoters, sweet weather….everything is just so sweet.
WELL….
This past weekend at the Geneva Fine Art Fair we were surrounded by sweets.
LITERALLY.
Look at what was behind our booth:
Just a little bit down the street from us, behind our booth:
A block up the street from us, behind our booth:
And last but not least….a couple of blocks up the street from us on the other side of the street:
These chocolate (YES, CHOCOLATE!) sculptures were inside the All Chocolate Kitchen:
How sweet was this show? When I asked out neighbor (who is from a town right near Geneva) what was the deal with all the sugar, his response was that the taxes are so high that everyone needs something sweet in their lives. Crack me up! If you want to know if I taste tested everything. The answer is “no”. I am really trying to be so good on my diet because we are going to Turkey in September and I want to be in great shape for our trip. So, I restrained from leaning over the rail and giving MR. HUNKY CHUNKY CHOCO-LOVE a big wet lick on his face. Would they have missed his little pinky? I was very good.
Geneva is another E M Events show. You know how much I love Erin. It was a sweet show (besides all the sugar opportunities) and the crowds were great. Lots of interesting folks came by our booth. We even met someone who knows some of our best friends here in our neighborhood. That was fun. That person is an art teacher and teaches with our good friend’s sister up in the Chicago area.
Michael also set up a small table and did some demo-ing:
Yeah, that young girl’s face in the first picture makes me giggle too.
So, all in all it was a sweet weekend full of smiles and giggles and not a morsel of chocolate parted my sweet lips.









You forgot to mention how sweet you were! The cookie deliveries were awesome (and actually the only food I had on Sun afternoon!).
It was wonderful to meet you too Tahmi. Hopefully we’ll get to do a show where are booths are not on opposite ends of the universe!
