Home again
The only bad thing about a holiday is going back to the grind afterwards (sigh).
Sailor Boi and I spent Thanksgiving weekend at Sawmill (our local gay campground/resort)
for their vendor weekend. It was a great time to mix business with pleasure, and
the weather was gorgeous. It was fun talking and partying with everyone, and we
met lots of wonderful people and several other great LGBT vendors. This was the
first time that 2Grrlz has done
anything other than online business. I wasn’t sure about all the preparing,
packing, setting up, and then physically sitting around in a booth, but we had
fun....so much so, that we are planning on doing it again for Sawmill’s
women’s weekend in March.
The only hitch came when we were setting up and I realized that I had forgotten
the tablecloths in Sailor Boi’s washing machine–3 hours away from
where we were. However, being the inventive lesbians that we are, we saved the
day by using the sheets off our bed for the tablecloths!! With the table runners
on them, you couldn’t even tell. We also set up one of the large purple
tinsel trees with all the ornaments on it. It was a hit....so much so, that
I even sold the demo model tree that we brought. I have just a couple of trees
left here in the warehouse, so I’m putting them on sale this week. If
you are looking for a different tree, this one is gorgeous–and very purple!
Besides the branches and lights, the cords on the lights are also purple, so
they completely disappear on the tree.
Today I am fighting off a cold (or something)....I have a scratchy throat and
a bad case of the dizzies....I know I didn’t get enough sleep this weekend.
It was so hard, when the place is rocking until way after 2:00am. I guess I
need to learn how to sleep in....even when we were up very late, I’d pop
awake at 6:00 just like I do when it’s a work day. Very annoying!
At the show I also sold out of several of the new items that I brought to see
the reaction people had to them. They were such a hit, that I am going to have
to work extra hard to get them photographed and up this weekend! I did get two
new bracelets up right before I left for the weekend. Check these
out...a stainless engraveable (or not) bracelet and a cool techno-modern stainless
bracelet with encased springs:
I’m off to have some chicken soup and then crawl into a warm bed.....gotta
fight off whatever is trying to get a hold of me!
