market update // december 14th

not too much happened today except i had an epiphany. my plant labels weren't selling a whole lot before, and i was like ok cool whatever. is what it is, just keep offering as an add-on item.

but then i found this really neat old tool box at the thrift store, and the second i picked it up even hubs was like "that's the perfect display for your table!"

and i didn't really have a plan for it but i mean, common. rustic metal toolbox carrier thing for only $5?!

but recently i was prepping for market with this just in my craft room doing nothing and i was like, hey, plant labels fit in there...

ever since i switched displays they have been selling like hot cakes.

so pro tip for vendors: if something is not selling, just change the display 🫠

that's it. have a nice weekend.

I need help!!

I am a disabled mom who is the sole income to my 3 people family. I normally work full time at my job but I am currently losing half of my hours at work. While waiting to pick up new projects to fill 20 hours of work i need to spread my stuff so that I can earn more money. If you can reblog that would be amazing! Losing 20 hours means I lose about 1k worth of work a month. So here's what i got for you to look at:

Ebay: https://ebay.com/usr/aydoo-n-sakura

I currently have video game guides, sewing patterns, bjds, and other toys available in this shop.

Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/sakuraproductions

I have blythe doll clothes, human clothes, other different sewn items.

My spouse is taking art commissions here: https://x.com/WellGramarye/status/1811667975990038546

Ko-fi (i also have things in the shop here as well): https://ko-fi.com/salira PayPal: http://paypal.me/stormyjane7 CashApp: $stormyjane7

I am currently hitting up the farmer's markets every weekend to try and pull in more money as well. I'm doing my best but I need help! Please share this around.

Also if you need custom sewn items or vinyl work done, please hit me up i'm willing to do whatever at this point!!

The famed umbrella tables at The Land in Epcot, circa late-1980s/early-1990s. The curved pattern continued to the trash cans, which were primarily brown with light tan "arches" represented on all sides. Of course, they also said "Waste Please." The mid-1990s remodel of the space introduced green trash cans with the pavilion's logo on the side. // Walt Disney World, Epcot, Future World, The Land, Farmer's Market, late-1980s/early-1990s [Source: Jim Shull.

My Step 2 exam is at the end of this week 😱

I have been stressed lately because I took 2 practice exams a few weeks ago and the scores were rough, but I took Free 120 yesterday and it went pretty well so I'm feeling better. Going to keep studying and I'm looking forward to getting the exam over with!!

market update // september 14th

drop off versus set up. i get to the market super early, even though setting up takes me 15 minutes, tops. i prefer to avoid the traffic of other vendors setting up, and i like to volunteer around the market before it opens. it's around 50 vendors at this market during the main season (april until december), so it can get busy super quick right before the market opens with everyone coming in at the last minute. not worth the stress when i can just come in early and help others out.

today blew me away. literally. had gusts of wind that were so bad a power pole fell down right outside the parking lot. that means the road that's the main traffic for the market was closed after 30 minutes of being open. that killed sales for *everyone*, including the big bois that sell out every week. coffee barrista vendor said their sales were down to 1/3rd their normal amount because of this. but the die hards willing to brave traffic and walking 2 blocks from parking to the market still made it out.

tue big bois were panicing over sales, but a horrific day in sales for me here still beat a great day of sales at other markets in previous years. no panicing from me, for once. if the road wasn't closed but sales were the same as today THEN i would panic. c'est la vie and all.

my top sellers were the ground cherry produce and the mini flower vases. none of those sales were my normal customers but rather the die-hards just browsing since they weren't eager to get back into traffic. so i met some new faces today, that's good. top reactions to people trying out the ground cherries go to a 3yo trying one, then shaking their head vigorously and then hiding in their mothers hair. another 6yo tried one and then just quickly started eating a whole bunch more. the mom paid for it, blushing, but i thought it was cute.

so imma share a secret with you, tumblr. for me to pass the time, i always wave to the kids who stare at me and tally up how many wave back. my record is 5 in one day. today was only 1. will try and wave better next week.

with it being an unsually slow day, i did end up going home with more than what i came with. but today is also my birthday so that's ok. ton of bread from my favorite bread baker in all the charlotte area, plus bagels, apples, cookies... got 2 large flower bouquets - one for a colleague who passed away this week, and another for me because birthday. thinking about merging all the large flowers together and take them to the place where he worked tomorrow, and keep the small ones for me. idk, i just love smaller bouquets spread around the house instead of one big one.

i didn't take an after-market shot because there was almost no difference at all due to lack of traffic. i did try and get photos throughout the day to share here and i hope that this new series of posts help inspire those who want to or are beginning their business vending journey. i've been vending at several markets and too many events over the past 5 years, so i got a lot of pointers and stories to share. please enjoy.

vegetable scrutiny at the farmer's market...

Imposter

Anyone who knows his/her tomatoes can look at this photo and understand my disappointment in this specimen. The telltale sign: Not a drop of juice on the plate.

It was especially disappointing because the seller at the Cheboygan Farmers Market assured me it was Michigan-grown. Sharon mentioned later that she thought she heard the word "hothouse" muttered during that brief encounter. I did not.

I guess I should have done the math and realized that vine-ripened- in-the-dirt Michigan tomatoes are a product of August - not July.

My consolation comes in knowing the real thing is coming.
