I just bought a ton of shirts to print, and I am so freaked out by it. What if I only sell five the whole weekend at the Fiber Fair? What if I got the wrong colors, the wrong sizes? What if, what if, what if? Just gotta take the plunge, I guess. You never get anything good without taking at least a small risk. And maybe the bigger the risk, the greater the reward. Okay, enough hideous cliches for today. But still, it's true.
P.S. The tomato is an heirloom variety from my mother's garden. She has an enormous green thumb. It's literally huge. And green. Literally.

That ranks as one of the uglier tomatoes I've seen in my time. However, I bet it was absolutely delicious.
what? ugly tomato?! what a philistine!
Anyhow, you'll be fine with a TON of shirts, they're so cool. I'm sure you're going to sell a lot. Have fun at the fair!
Oh, yeah, and what a bummer was that 35 vs 33 confusion? Nr 35 doesn't exist on my street, that's probably why they didn't even deliver it anywhere near....
I so wish I could be there to work your booth with you! Just go, have fun, smile at all the nice people. Everyone who can afford it will want one of your shirts! Have you decided if you are going to take special orders? If so, maybe a flyer in one of those lucite holders, and a preprinted form on a clipboard?
Anyone who sees your shirts are going to fall head over heels for them. So no worries, just have fun!
Here's some more hideous cliches for you:
"The lucky worm gets the early bird."
"No pain, no stain."
"You can fool some of the people half of time, half of the fools part of the time, and people all of the fools with thyme, foo'."
"Never go up against a Sicilian when DEATH IS ON THE LINE!!"
"You can lead a horse to water, and if you duct-tape a hose to his mouth you can make him drink too."
"A fool and his money are soon partying."
"Spare the rib, spoil the barbeque."
"When in Rome, make sure you see Sistine Chapel. Also get some gelatto."
"Better to lose a second of your life, than your life in a pit of poisonous snakes."
"Better to have loved and lost than never to have been to Disneyland."
Well I'm planning on buying at least one shirt, and I'm sure you'll do great!
You've sold two here already. I agree, clothing is one of the scarier things to do. Sizing, colors, etc. make it a fearsome thing. But your designs are fun and timeless--I mean, they don't say Jones Family Reunion Three-Legged Race Champion 2004.... So relax, give it to the Universe, you'll be fine. My ultimate test of success or failure, and I do mean ULTIMATE is: If no one is dead, everything is recoverable. Best, Lark
I can't come to the fiber festival, but can I buy a T-Shirt from you anyway? I will pay for shipping!
