1/2 Yesterday was a day of strange contrasts. We had almost no visitors for our #museum animation (with a special exhibition) on #pedlars (two big festivals nearby and many people celebrating at home before the end of the holidays).
Nevertheless, we had a lot of fun together and bought from our colleagues. I didn't have a chance to explain: nobody asked. 馃檮 People scurried past as if #VisibleMending was toxic.馃槀 But I had a great chat with colleagues from Strasbourg who also do it. Seems to be

The same handcart from a different direction. Small packages with lucky charms and a piece for my animation. It's a yellow quadrat of fabric, I sewed on it a smaller blue one with white dots, and a red one to show how to make textile collages.

@NatureMC
What a pity. But you've had fun with your colleages. May be next year an other date will bring visitors.

@GEDANKENTaenze This is normal museum life! Except for pre-booking-events, we never know how many people are coming. There are many festivals/animations in the region, and yesterday started the famous Hop Festival in Haguenau.
We once thought nobody would turn up and suddenly there were 200 people at the gate. Whether it's 2 or 200 - we're there for the people. 馃槉 We already prepare for the embroidery festival in Octobre with 10,000 of visitors ...

2/2 a rural problem of acceptance. And because waiting for a missing audience makes you more tired than too much work, we had plenty of time to visit each other at the stands. I found beautiful #braids for my #BiodiversityShrines and got to watch the tatting. The woman who teaches it is 86 and her next course is already fully booked. She is happy to be able to pass on her knowledge in this way.
