Recovering from the weekend…

While I need to recover from a busy and rainy weekend, Jen was finally able to find
some restoration and soul care. This spot seems to be made specifically by Mother
Nature as a place to rest, reflect and renew. I can feel that warm sun from here. She is
one of the busiest people I know, and I’m thrilled to see she had a chance to re-center.
I had a busy and fun weekend at the Midland Antique Festival with my sister in town.
Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and it was rainy and chilly all weekend. We
had a handful of sales and while that’s great, attendance was way way down. The
organizers were wonderful and I feel badly is wasn’t what they had planned on
happening either.
We used some down time to network with some other businesses and came away with
some wholesale type opportunities and I’m realizing that’s pretty much the whole point
of the vendor tent anyway. It’s not necessarily a lot of single sales that are going to
make the difference for us. The vending tent often ends up being a really great weekend
long advertisement. We come away with something positive no matter how the sales go
at the tent.
We always come away with some new friends and a few fans and this weekend was no
different. I’m really interested to hear how it worked on his dry and stiff leather
convertible top.
It’s turning into something really fun to do. Luckily my significant other thought so too.
I’m currently scoping out fun places we can vend in the next few months through the
holidays. I know Jen is too.
The stores that carry Healthy Leather are continuing to sell out, so we’ll keep cranking
them out.
My clothes my be wet but my heart is full,
Jill
