Our new Facebook Pages

Sometimes when times are tough, we reach for the impossible. As an artist (and I finally feel comfortable saying that) we sign up for shows, we work hard to make sure we have inventory, and we prepare, clean, price, label, and take pictures. Then, they don't come. Not like we prepared for. I did a show a few weeks ago. The weekend before that weekend was beautiful. Hot, slight breeze, and just an all-around beautiful day. I was getting exicted about the show as I always do. I bought last minute supplies to help me finish the projects that needed finishing. We always work late into the night before a show. Even after one, were dead tired but replenish stock for the next day.
This year however, it wasn't exciting. It wasn't even fun. Our booths were taken and we were put towards the back. Against the freeway where the wind comes from. The winds gusted up to 65mph. We ended up having one tent break. No one came. Too cold to go way in the back of the isles. No sunshine all day. 5 layers of clothing and hundreds of safety pins holding out items to the table. There were no displays. There wasn't a torch with fire blazing. There was nothing but what looked like a cheezy, 5 minute set up of cheap jewelry.

So, what do you do? You create a few awesome sites on Facebook! You tell your friends, they tell their friends, and soon you have a community of sellers and buyers coming together. Sales are made. Sometimes we put up items for sale and they sell but then sometimes they don't.

It's a new process, it's a fun adventure and I'm ready to ride it for as long as I can. I hope you'll join us :-)
Blessings to you all.
