Why this Pumpkin Sale was CRAZY

Its my first market since June and I'm selling all the pumpkins, dried flowers, and arrangements I've been planning for since Spring. As usual, life gets chaotic and it's a race to get everything done and work around a sick baby. Never a dull moment in flower farming!

the shot around 5 min. into the video would have made a great thumbnail! such a nice spread behind you and beautiful natural lighting. I love how the flowers are so colorful and rainbowy with most everything else in the frame being a nice soft white. What a gorgeous composition!

[@ShiftingRoots]

Oh thank you for this! I really struggle with thumbnails, so please feel free to make suggestions on other videos.

Your booth looked amazing! I am always so impressed by what you get done amongst everything else on your plate! From one busy mom to another... kudos to you!

Thank you!

Pumpkin arrangements were lovely, Kristen. You had a good crop. Something to think about for next year…..if you have some tiny pumpkins you could stick them on a wood skewer and use them in a large arrangement. Looking forward to your next video. 😊💕

Beautiful pumpkins and yes it’s amazing how much you can get done with a baby around ❤

[@eyrerosecottage1970]

Julia's getting cuter and cuter all the time! I loved everything you made! I would have loved coming to your booth, if I lived closer.

[@ShiftingRoots]

I tried one pressed flower pumpkin and didn’t like it, didn’t make any to sell. Seemed a bit too crafty diy, a customer would like the idea and do it on their own, not pay for it kinda thing. The one market I did before thanksgiving I used the ceramic pumpkins (so sick of the mess and carving of the fresh ones) and I sold a few but the price needed to be so high to cover the hard good cost. My fresh bouquets were beautiful but we had frost and I needed to bring in flowers so they were priced at $55 and I didn’t break even on those so.. yeah, definitely know your market and customer. My $15 mini dried pumpkins did great thankfully.

It’s so hard doing markets with fresh products! I envy the booths where they have inventory that doesn’t go bad in a few days!

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Again and again lady I am impressed with your determination, dedication to your family and your arrangements. I remember you as "the lady with tiny pumpkin arrangements". Of course baby will get upset whenever you need time to do something, a mother can always count on that. Your pumpkins arrangements were amazing!!! To tell the truth, I don't like decoupage on pumpkins either , they're more beautiful natural :))

[@ShiftingRoots]

Thank you as always. Just out here trying my best. Yeah, it’s is interesting with the découpage pumpkins. At least now I know that the market has spoken.

[@NicolesGardenNS]

How long do those pumpkins last before starting to rot with nothing holding the water? I’ve never seen that done without a vessel of some kind.

[@ShiftingRoots]

A minimum of 5 days. Sometimes you get 3 weeks!
