As I listen to the literal ice storm outside (thunder and sleet), I’m counting my blessings this week. Looks like the ice storm will last for a shorter time than expected and hopefully the ice will melt by the time the second day of Bella Rustina setup commences. So far over 40 exhibitors have set up and everything is looking awesome. I was thrilled to learn the I-430 bridge closure is postponed. All the heaters are functioning in our building and keeping it nice and warm. It’s going to be a great weekend and I cannot wait! If you’d like to come shop with us Friday, here’s the link to get Friday’s admission tickets for $5: https://bellarustina.com/tickets/
We will have something for everyone at Bella Rustina this weekend. A new exhibitor for our show is “Must Draw Dogs”. Jeff draws pet portraits while customers shop and they are really good! We have some other new exhibitors who will load in later today who have great décor. Our food exhibitors will be out of this world with chocolate covered strawberries, rum cake, fresh breads, cookies, and much more.
We don’t have a bunch of estate sales this weekend, so maybe you can visit the estate sales and then come see us at Bella Rustina. Here’s what I know about:
