....and I'm totally out of pocket but enjoyed the day very much anyway!
The venue is a lovely old ex-police-station and we were in two medium-sized rooms on the ground floor. The table was a bit wobbly but once everything was out on it, it became a bit more stable!
I managed to park nearly outside the venue just whilst I unloaded (four trips) but then had to park up a short walk away as I was on yellow lines.
All would have been well ( and mostly was..) if the heavens hadn't opened and a biblical-scale deluge of rain hadn't come bucketing down, soaking me to the skin !
Thank goodness I managed to get my stock inside before the worst of it hit! Cards and rain are not a good mix!
Unfortunately, this mini-monsoon lasted most of the day and kept footfall to a minimum. I don't think we had over thirty peeps in all day.
On th bright side, I had 'won' one of the demonstration tables and so was able to spend my day making up more jewellery.....not that I got much made as I'd just got two new toys in the morning post - a 'Thing-a-Ma-Jig' and wire-twisting Gizmo.
The latter is especially welcome as it saves my fingers a lot of grief from the wire-work! I actually spent twice as much on these pieces of vital equipment, than I took, and they weren't at all expensive!
I only sold two items - a £2.50 Gift-card/money gift wallet and a small £10.00 charm bracelet! That won't keep the wolf from the door and may, indeed, cause the taxman to die laughing!! LOL!
I have to say though, that I thoroughly enjoyed myself anyway and would like to thank my lovely daughter-in-law Dani for coming with me to 'help'! (hehehehe..!)
She was charming company and her artistic eye was imperative to the success of the mission (...photos will follow shortly...!)
The other table-holders were lovely - very welcoming and helpful. I look forward to doing it again and next time should be easier as everything is set up now. My stock is all labelled and on a spread-sheet, my cards and jewellery all bagged up and priced.
I suspect though, despite my enjoyment, I will not be the next Alan Sugar anytime soon.......!
