Hello Dahlings! Happy Tuesday.
First, let me apologize for the lack of posts and the mess of info regarding this last weekends Ren Faire in Eldon. I got quite a few messages about this event, regarding misinformation.
Please know, im not the event manager. Im just a vendor. I can only relay the info given to me. Or shared by the event coordinators. I understand it was year one. People dropped out mid planning....things happen. I wish them the very best in year 2. It can only get better from here.
Our tents were on a slab of rock so it bent every stake, bent my 10x10 frame in half, tore the the velcro off all the walls and sand bags. The wind wasn't that bad, it was the location. We just couldn't get stakes in deep enough. The tent lifted off the ground and Jacqueline lifted with it. Ugh.....freaked me out.
Since the tent fell it damaged about $500 in inventory. .....Since 80% of our shop is hand made or curated, it's irreplaceable
This year has been rough. I think ive cried for 2 days straight. Heat stroke, heat exhaustion, standing in 3 feet of water under our tents for hours, thousands of dollars in damages, broken displays, wind tunnels, dead shows, Covid, ulcer, hernias, no more money,...Detective Murtaugh was right .im getting too old for this s**t.
I have such big dreams and ideas. And they are not just for me but for everyone in my life. I have always wanted a place where anyone feels safe and comfortable to be. Women and young girls feel empowered. Kids can touch the rocks and bones and ask questions and get inspired. I never thought I would take my act on the road. Or that my business would be so reliant on social media.
Seeing the tents fall and counting the damages, we'll, it broke my heart. My heart physically hurt.
Im not giving up!!
If you see us outside, shlepping bins in and out....again....say hello or give us a honk...it's hard work. Everyone needs a cheer leader.
Thank you to everyone who supports us. We couldn't do it without you.
Ok pretty Poppies, sorry for the long post....now, deep breath.... another day, another show. Here we go again.....
Ta Dahlings. Mwah!
