The Three “P’s”

If you have ever been a vendor you know what I am talking about, it is time for the dreaded P’s.  You know, packaging, pricing and packing.  Here’s where you really see what your made of, you see how strong your back is, for that matter, you see how strong your marriage is…

There’s been a time when Dave was inside the trailer loading the treasures, when a teeny, tiny little part of me wanted to accidently shut the door, turn the key and take off.  But the smarter part remembers he’s the driver and how could he do his job locked in the trailer?

All those challenges will be left behind, once we are on our way, and back to that story book marriage…

I’m so excited to get to Farm Chicks, to see my friends and to meet new ones.  I have been working on a little gift for the first 25 of you that come by to say that you read my blog and are glad to be at Farm Chicks!

Serena sent this really cool map so you could plan ahead where you want to shop.

  You can pick up a copy at the show. 

You can find me in Bay 1, Booth 105 & 106.

You will also see these sweet friends at the show.

isabels craft time 019 On the left is my friend Robin, she is coming to help me set up and will be helping in the booth on Saturday.  She is one of the most amazing photographers, she has the ability to capture the true essence of her subjects.  Check out her blog Bird Tweets, you will see what I mean.

 

I’m sure you recognize my two friends Isabel and Lisa. Their booths are the next ones, on the same aisle as mine, you will want to mark theirs as  booths you want to get to early.

There are so many incredible vendors and guests/shoppers at this show.  I was hoping to memorize all the vendors names, but… I failed.  I am trying to pay more attention to names, because I really do care.  The thing is when I get excited…

  4. You get excited, nayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! This is my first year for Farm Chicks. I've wanted to go before but that darn job and life seem to get in the way. My New Years resolution was to be the year for me. So I am trying really hard to do things I want and just for me. Good luck with the show, hope you sell lots but most of all have fun!
