I've cut back on shows this year, I actually started last fall, besides I'm in the finishing stages of a major renovation and it is taking up a great deal of time...not to mention emotions.
This is the first of my shows this season, (I missed all my Sudbury friends this year)...so everything is in a bit of a mess, time to go through it!
Thought I would let you see what I was up to this morning...
There is paper, jewelry, bags, tissue, etc., cluttered around right now...for some reason I seem to work in these kinds of conditions...not sure what it is?
My pretty organza bags, boxes, bags, not sure where my tissue is and a hand held mirror on the side...
In the past I've used hand held mirrors partly because I couldn't seem to find what I was looking for and partly because I do a great many out door shows/markets and I was always afraid the mirror would get blown over...which it definitly would have in some of the weather we've been in. Having said that I've managed to break 2 hand mirrors...I'm hoping the second mirror negates the first in the bad luck department? :0) I found this mirror the other day and decided, go for it...it is difficult to tell in the photo but it is just the right size for sitting on the table.
The some of the "girls" as my daughter calls them...
Enough...time to go get things under control!Enjoy the weekend.
Cheers
Hooray for INSIDE...ahhh, yes, that's a great blog post...the 'things', the boxes, the wrapping and gift boxes, the mirrors, the 'girls' and oh yes, the jewelry!!!....the preparation IS amazing, and oh so much work...after a while, there is a science to all the madness...hope the show is a great success...again, hooray for INSIDE...XXXXXXX
ReplyDeleteGood for you for being inside. It is still cold here also. I hope you have a great show! ps - I hope you have someone to help you with all of that stuff!
ReplyDeleteI agree Amy...hooray for "inside"...the preparation is a great deal of work! I'm guilty of bringing everything home and often not putting it away, which means the next time I have to go through everything and repack it all...makes more work for me in the long run but I'm to tired at the end!!! Must be getting "old"! :~) Thanks for the kind wishes Amy...
ReplyDeleteTake care dear friend...my thoughts are with you & your Mom.
The Velvet Box...it really seems like spring is a long time coming? Thanks for the kind wishes...yes...my daughter comes to all my shows...I don't think I could do them all without her, she is a huge help & great with the customers!
Thanks for stopping by ladies...
cheers
I will see you in Powassan - I'll be there as a attendee only. Had I known there was inside booths, I might have been there beside you. I've done the outside thing in April before and it's usually hypothermia!

Hope your day is going fantastic today Heather! I'm very ready for winter to be done... more snow, boooooo. We too are having snow in southern WI today... what the heck?
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, you're organization resembles mine. I know what's where and that's what matters! LOL Have a terrific weekend!~
{Hugs!}
Good luck with the show today! I can definately relate...my "storage system" looks just like yours!
ReplyDeletethanks for coming by! And for your silver thoughts. I may try the silver filled for my 20.00 earrings and still use sterling wire on the more involved things. Hope your show goes well. ; )
ReplyDeleteGood luck Heather! I hear you about the indoor part! There is one craft show I am going to do this fall which is outdoors. I try and get a table under a building overhang in case of rain! Pearl
