FREAK STORM WRECKED THIS SHOW My tent broke in half but I am one of the very lucky ones

[@cynthiaperry7165]

Oh no! Sorry to hear about your weather disaster. Glad you weren't hurt.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I was very lucky!

[@quesnelgirl]

So sorry for the losses you incurred but glad you and hubby are safe. 😍

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thank you so much!

[@billieholmancreations]

Oh my goodness, this is such a shame. I'm hoping you can save most of your gorgeous creations. Thinking of you. Take good care.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I lost about a dozen wine glasses, and I was very lucky!

[@Everydaykaren]

For the oyster shell ornaments, lay them out of the box. If they have mod podge on them it will harden again. After dry, check for loose embellishments and reglue. It is good that you have a more positive outlook. When we did craft shows, we switched to plastic bins after a couple of rainy days and cardboard box failures. Also, post the videos you have yet to edit. I watch to see you create.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Yep, plastic bins from now on. I will be editing those videos, because those glasses were gorgeous!

[@lauriewilson4741]

Everyday Karen has good advice 😊😊

[@havendallaire5988]

oh my gosh hun so happy you didn't get hurt!!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

thank you!

[@dianescraftycreations]

Glad you had a great first day. I hope you can make something with the broken glass and resin pieces!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

That's the plan!

[@dh7217]

1.I am so glad you and hubby were safe. 2.I am thankful you didn't loose all your beautiful creations. 3.What a hard way to get the tent you wanted. 4.The wood based items would dry better if flat on cake/cookie type racks for more even drying and airflow. 5. Again, I am THANKFUL you are safe. I hope you show those videos anyway. Doing so will give you sometime to breathe and plan while things dry. Sending much love!❤

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thank you so much!

[@brendalucas1632]

So sorry for what you lost because of the storm. Plastic bins are the way to go. Can’t wait to see what you create with the broken glass. Very glad you did get hurt. Love your positive attitude.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thanks so much!

[@mjbrooks592]

Thank you for sharing even this part of the craft sales journey. Appreciate your positive solution mindset. Glad all are safe!

[@MichelleZepp-bd2cx]

I am so very sorry you went through that. I absolutely love your positivity! Praying for you and everyone with this next storm coming Wednesday!!!!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thank you so much!

[@lynnapplefield553]

Oh.. I am so sorry you had such an unlucky storm come along. Thank goodness you did not lose more inventory! Thank goodness you were not hurt! That would have been awful!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

thanks!

[@artsyarmo3075]

Wow! So scary. What a crazy thing . I hope everyone's ok and that you didn't loose too much. sorry......

[@cindybrienze8723]

So sorry this happened, so much work. Hopefully you can salvage some stuff

[@debramatthews9180]

Freak storms happen!! My son and I share a booth at most shows. One year during the Peter Anderson Festival in Ocean Springs, MS, we got caught in a freak storm first thing in the morning. I always set up my gridwall to help anchor my corners. We quickly dropped sides and zipped up. During the storm, the zipper opened and a lady climbed in with us. She bought something from each of us while we waited. So much of our art got wet and ruined, but the glass booth next door was destroyed. Festivals are a challenge for sure.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

it could have been a lot worse for me for sure. so many ruined tents and art.

[@mattersofthehartbynat8815]

Gotta love your attitude girl… the saying ‘shit happens’ is a common one around here… but it’s very true! You just got to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, put on your big girl panties… and move forward!! I (try) to always remember that there are others, who are worse off than myself… and, clearly, you think the same way!! Would still love to see the video on the stemless wine glasses, if you have time to edit that is?!? And, definitely looking forward to seeing what you do with the broken glasses! All the very best moving forward Edwige… love from Nat. (Brisbane, Australia) ♥️♥️🇦🇺

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Yep, can’t cry about it. That does no good. I will edit those videos because those glasses were gorgeous.

[@lisapedley5427]

Glad you are ok, and that you had a great 1st day. its a case of wipe yourself down (literally!) and move forward x

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

yup!

[@PaulaJacks-g1m]

So glad you are ok

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

thank you!

[@lauriewilson4741]

One of the display ideas I like for Christmas ornaments is a spiral naked treewhere u just hook them and they spiral down there’s no branches or anything it’s just that.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

now that sounds interesting

[@christines2451]

Oh no. You worked so hard on your crafts. Glad you were one of the lucky ones. Yes please post the videos. Sorry the end product is lost but let us see the videos then it will be nice to see what you make of the lost ones.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

it will be something special!

[@PeggyAnnMitchell-z2k]

I am so sorry. It's hard to see your hard work destroyed.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

it could have been worse!

[@MermaidTreasureHunter]

I’m sorry you had a rough day. Your earrings sure are pretty.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Those are my good luck show earrings!

[@lorimeader7115]

So sorry this happened! Maybe nip the glasses and do a mosaic type beach landscape? I'm certain you will find a good use for all that glass! Glad you are safe for sure!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Great idea!!

[@TracyMcewen-bq3en]

Glad you are ok xx ❤

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

thank you!

[@AmyWalls-wh8rj]

We will just go with that you NEEDED a new tent. lol. So sorry about all that. How frustrating. 😢❤️❤️❤️

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

On the plus side, the model that I had has been upgraded, and it’s cheaper!

[@dorid2427]

How awful. Glad you had a good Saturday. . ❤

[@j.c.7555]

Oh no! Looks like you hung on to most of your inventory but still how heartbreaking. I am happy you had one good day at least. Lots of hard work and beautiful pieces I’m sure…definitely make something from the broken pieces..so sad!❤😢 12:22

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I was one of the lucky ones. There were so many broken tents, with ruined inventory. Like soap makers, clothing, wood pieces.

[@michelegrigg4952]

I'm so sorry this happened. I'm a glass artist and have had this happen as well. Please show the videos of making the wine glasses, they were beautiful before they got broken. Then show us what you do with the pieces. I'm sure whatever you do with them will also be beautiful.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I just posted a video of one pair I made with new epoxy..Go look at how gorgeous they are!

[@lauriewilson4741]

Now, it is Wine Time 😊

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

amen!

[@BsAlteredDesigns]

I’m so sorry. I do vendor markets along the Carolina Coast we just had a tropical storm come through our market because of Helene. Ratchet straps on all 4 corners with screw in dog tie downs is the key. Plus the heavy duty cement weights. I also have business insurance.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

just subscribed to your channel! What happened to my tent this weekend was a huge onshore gust of wind that flattened my tent sideways. We are used to the winds here - it’s windy all the time- but this was freaky fast.

[@eileentenenbaum1613]

You should have a Christmas tree there with the ornaments on it.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

It’s a pain in the a** to set up. I’ve tried that. Plus, it takes up a lot of booth space.

[@KathyStark-l4j]

I’m so sorry that things went bad for you

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

thanks!

[@donnadyer7040]

So sorry. That’s devastating!! Just do the best you can…

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Yep, onward!

[@leetteduran4580]

Love this set up! And is there a way to hang those ornaments from a metal type Christmas tree?? Ohhhh myyyy goodness!!! I am so so sorry that your booth and tent was wrecked! Praying you didnt lose too much product!!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I think I am going to go back to a small Christmas tree, or the set up I had last year.

[@bethshaw4178]

I’m so sad for you that this happened! 😢

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I’m really bummed out, but things will dry out.

[@vickywhite8586]

So sorry. Outdoor shows can be risky.. Glad you are OK.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

thank you!

[@andreasaurman480]

Oh Lord, I’m so sorry this happened to you and the other vendors. Thankfully no one was hurt. As traumatic as it was I know from watching you that you will bounce back. Do you carry vendor insurance ?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I don’t have insurance because I don’t do very many shows. but maybe I should reconsider it

[@evelynrunge224]

I love your videos and I'm so glad you are ok. I'm not sure where you live, but I hope you are safe during this horrible hurricane Milton that is headed toward Florida. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. Please check in with us (when you can) to let us know you are ok.

thank you!

[@robynsartandgifts2860]

So sorry that happened to you.

[@AmberVereide-de9iv]

What a shame but when something happens there is usually an idea that is an alternative. I can see you putting them in a rock tumbler making trees naming them the hurricane name. They might be unique in that way. Thank God everyone was ok.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I am planning something special!

[@shawnabelle2824]

Stay safe PLEASE

make more christmas trees out of the broken glass..

That’s an excellent idea!!!

@@ACoastalMagnolia and be safe with the upcoming hurricane. I hope you are safely out of Milton’s way

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

so far, we are on the east side of the storm, but will know more tomorrow.

[@lauriewilson4741]

? Cd u take the grid inserts from booze bottles out of the cardboard boxes and insert them into totes🤷‍♀️ I mean the dividers

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

yes, I thought about that, or making my own. Although after this mess, I’m not sure I want to mess with cardboard anymore!
