So happy it went well,your hard work will pay off❤,

[@elaine1962]

That table was absolutely beautiful!!! Y'all have THE BEST greenery. It's much better than "the Hobby L" 😉. I'm so happy y'all have 2 good days. I'm excited to see how Sunday goes. Live and learn!!! Congratulations on the sales!!!! 💕

@@elaine1962 having great greenery is what sustains us. I think we are trying to shift a lot of our market to this avenue.

[@kellihull7600]

So glad it’s working out! No beating yourselves up! It’s done, so we move on after learning ❤

[@kathleenmmay1237]

That’s great that stuff is starting to sell again and I’m happy for you and Sue that the market has been a success so far!

[@VintageBeeDesign]

@@kathleenmmay1237 it ended up being a good market, especially all things considered!

[@GardensDelight]

Looking forward to seeing how Sunday goes for you. It's nice that you don't have a far commute to get to and from the show and no hotel expenses. Nothing is better than sleeping in your own bed!

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Oh. You got that right! Of course the downside of coming home is that my husband still thinks he needs attention, because he hasn’t seen me all day. Lol. When we are on the road, Sue and I silently each go to our own beds and pretty much barely speak the rest of the night. Lol. (Exhaustion, not anger)

[@melonmahfood2439]

OMG, that is so cold! Congrats on another good day of sales. Sure hope Sunday was great for you.

[@VintageBeeDesign]

It really was cold, at least for us!! Our blood is thin. Lol. I’ll try to get Sunday’s wrap up done tonight for release tomorrow!

Smalls have been great for me this year. I to have got to work on small items thru out the year. I feel like I just try to keep my head above water going from place to place and not having the time to work ahead for the future places. Going to cut some events next year in order to have more items for my better shows. Good job ladies

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Cutting events can really help! We had too many personal things going on in the background: we’ve got to buckle down and buckle up for 2025. I think it’s going to be a rough year. That means being nimble.

[@tarynkriebel319]

I’m happy at 29 here in West pa bc it USUALLY won’t be freezing on road but not always

[@VintageBeeDesign]

@@tarynkriebel319 🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@tarynkriebel319]

Good for u! Best I did was 300 at the touristy place

[@VintageBeeDesign]

@@tarynkriebel319 ugh. That is NOT GOOD. The quality of market makes a big difference.

[@heliumstudio9851]

Is Whatnot *profitable,* though? Or just good for liquidation? I admire your hustle on that platform. I’m not consistent enough. I feel your pain re lack of merch. Cash flow just not great this year and that really constricts my open to buy. Best wishes to you. I admire you so much!

[@VintageBeeDesign]

@@heliumstudio9851 on Whatnot, it’s all about what you can get something for. I aim for 3-4x cost. This allows me to fail on some items and still do a decent profit.

[@rondacasey3103]

How do you know what to sell your items for? That’s my biggest concern when I want to set up.

[@VintageBeeDesign]

@@rondacasey3103 It helps to know what items sell for. The more you sell, the more you will know the answer. If you are buying wholesale, it needs to be at least 2.25x what you paid.
