Rose Bowl April 2015

This Sunday was Rose Bowl April. That's why my blog is going out later than usual. I had to get up at 4:00 am in order to pack up and get ready for the event. The rules are you must be inside the Rose Bowl as a vendor before 6:30 am or you lose your spot. 

Even though the flea market doesn't officially open until 9:00 am, there are vendors and store owners who are cruising around between 6:30 - 9:00 am buying the best merchandise early.

All in all, I had a lot of fun. Not only did I sell my handcrafted jewelry, I also setup a wall of supplies. The supply wall sold well. Mostly chains and charms. 

I did ask what people would like to see being sold as supplies. Surprisingly enough, people were asking what material I made my pendants from and wanted to purchase some polymer clay when I told them.

My biggest delight of the day was when a couple people who had visited my website came over and introduced themselves. Small world.

Next month I will be changing my booth style again. I need more jewelry, more supplies, more everything. Watching people walk around I saw a lot of the objects purchased were unusual items. I saw washboards, old antique bed frames, plants in interesting containers, etc. Guess I'll be hitting some antique and vintage yard and rummage sales for new ideas. I've decided to make my booth look interesting.  

In May, I'll be ready. The day of the event is May 10th. Mother's Day. I expect another fun filled day. 

This late Coffee Break is over. I'm so tired. 
Until next time...

Dee.
