Quoting Noodles123:

So I did the Farmer's Market...Bought the aprons, cake, fruit, awesome cups, ice tea jars, carafe for Cafe de la Olla...Arroz con Leche...Pastel deTres Leches and all the lil extras...9 hours of prep work, setting up, chopping fruit, making strawberry yogurt/strawberry cups with walnuts and honey...ANNNND...Bust.
 
 
 
Lots of "Ohhs and ahhhs"
 
 
 
Lots of "OMG this looks so good!"
 
 
 
Lots of "I've never seen vintage aprons like this before I really want one...I'll be back!"
 
 
 
But alas sales were uber light...So Mom, Dad, Sis, Mother, Wife, Step Son, Mother in Law, Sister in law, Brother in Law will be recieving aprons for birthdays, Xmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Aniversaries, Graduations and hell even for Kawanza...I ain't wasting them.
 
 
 
So sad it made lil money but at least I went all out and TRIED...Beats what I would have done in my 20's with it...You know strippers and coke...Midgets and bears on unicycles...Gimps in afro wigs.
 
 
 
In my 30's it probably would have been weapons...So hell ...contact me from this site.... least I can say I tried hard just no market out there...Damn handmade Vintage Rock A Billy Aprons I still loves!
 
 
So financially I took a hit BUT ...contact me from this site.... we who worked on the banner, cards, decorations will now appreciate those in the service industry because...Those guys work theri butts off.... I was beat, sore and tired...I NOW have found how much I love my job and how good I have it...SOOOOO the moral of the story is:
 
 
 

Don't ever be afraid to try and if the dream doesn't fly don't worry about it just learn the lesson and appreciate what you do have."
 

 
 

 Oh well...There will be ANOTHER opportunity somewhere else sooner or later...Oh and support your local Farmer's Markets! :)
