Well, I didn’t get many photos from the Fiesta, there was too much going on…as usual, I was so busy setting up, there just wasn’t time to leisurely snap away. Besides…not my best work.
The round tables were so hard to make look decent. I hated them, but everyone was very nice and seemed to like the pale blue overlays with the kraft. The clean up committee really, truly loved me though. It was a snap for us to uncover the tables at the end.
I had really wanted to cover the ugly legs with paper to the floor, but we couldn’t do it…not enough money in the $100 budget for the extra paper it would take, and not enough volunteers to help wrap the tables. Sigh. That’s life. It’s not the costume gala at the Met, so just have a margarita and get OVER IT.
Did I mention I HATED how this ended up looking? Let’s not even discuss the chairs.
I hung the tissue pom poms from the ceiling and they seemed dwarfed by the massiveness of the room and tent, but again…just not enough manpower or budget, so I broke down and resorted to the flags for impact. Have another margarita.
This is where all the auction items were…it’s Nashville, so we had lots of signed gee-tars from your favorite country stars. What I wanna know is where our school’s goddamn Jack White connection is?! I don’t listen to country music, so it’s kinda wasted on me. Jack could change my interest in the music prizes, fo sho.
Packed house..haven’t heard the grand total yet, but hopefully that margarita machine lubed up folks enough to make some nice sized donations to the school.
There was a wheel, kinda like on the Price is Right….I gave it a few spins, got a few small prizes.
I decided to make a few woodland scenarios for those not digging the Southwest vibe of the evening…..Everyone loved the terrariums, but didn’t/couldn’t read the tags, so we didn’t sell them all.
You knew there would be fawns, right?
I must have made the flags too tall since many people didn’t know they were for sale…boo. It’s funny, of the ones that did sell, some swapped their figurines with other arrangements, so I ended up with a “desert fawn” since someone obviously wanted a “woodland coyote.” I don’t know why that cracked me up so much…possibly exhaustion.
A really fun, yet super tiring weekend….
I’ll update you on the treehouse later this week. Adios amigos….
