The March Market Collective came and went so quickly. I still seem to be recovering from it and a touch of the flu. Many hours were spent in bed yesterday getting extra rest. But now I find that it is already Tuesday and the pile of things to do this week keeps growing.
The Market was a lot of fun. Some especially great musicians performed on Sunday! I had lots of wonderful help from family and friends. The table looked great (I think) and it was fun to display and sell Nicole’s jewelry. The down-side… the weather, and subsequently, the roads, in Calgary was really crappy on the weekend, especially on Saturday, which is usually the busy day at the Market. It seemed to keep a lot of people at home. Which I can completely understand. It was one of those weekends, where, if you don’t have to go out, then don’t go out.
Sadly, this meant a quieter Market. I only sold a few items, which is disappointing. I did, however, get plenty of wonderful compliments on my new purses, which was good to hear after spending the past few weeks pulling those together. Oh well. I totally expect to have some good craft shows and not so good ones too. The Market itself was super great, as per usual with Market Collective. Just can’t control the effect the weather will have on attendance. It does, however, make me a but anxious about the upcoming Make It show. Not in terms of weather, but in terms of how my items will be received there. There is always that nagging bit in my brain that wonders if my stuff is “hip” enough. And of course there is always the fine balance of what it costs to make an item and what people will readily pay for an item. Lots to consider, as usual.
Thanks so much to all the folks who did manage to attend Market Collective! Such brave & determined shoppers!
