at Freret Market!!!
Oh what a day it was...
Getting ready for the market.
Inventory ✓
Tables ✓
Tent ✓
Display cases...somewhat checked
Table cloths...not checked at ALL!
I headed out Thursday morning to make my "chocolate table cloth".
$60 to make it myself...NO! Strike #1
Walmart...NADA! Strike #2
Was I panicking? Believe it or not I was not.
Target...Oh YEAH!
I wanted to try to keep my booth display costs as low as possible and that I did. The cloths were on sale for $4! Can you believe it? Total cost for table cloths...$12!
Friday I spent a good bit of time ironing out those creases. Who does that anyway?
Now it was time for the market...
10 am...claim your spot and set up!
That EZtent was not so easy but my friends managed to put it up with some help from some seasoned artists at the market.
I decided to set up the booth opposite of what I did at the house. Talk about confusion!
It is okay. Everything always works out...although you may or may not like the results but it still works out! HA!
There is Tysheena making some of her bracelets but her hands turned into popsicles so she quit. She was a natural at the booth. Gracias Tysheena for sticking around the ENTIRE day with me!
The day went by at light speed, meeting new peeps, and eating all that candy. I wish I took the time to take a bunch of pictures but I was caught up in the moment.
I felt so much love from the universe and all of my friends for my first market. Everyone came out, texted me, and made this adventure an easy one!
I am so grateful!!!
You guys ARE the BEST!
MERCI to Freret Market for doing all the things that you guys do!!!
Here is to a great Tuesday!
♥
Namaste
