Radford VA Farmer's Market Kickoff April 18th

Sooo, it's that time of year again: time for the Radford Farmer's Market! *dances*

I think I've got everything ready for tomorrow, though I'm sure I'll forget something, as I always do. Let's hope it's nothing important this time!

For a change, I'll be taking my chainmaille and gemstone pieces, as well as my cutesy goodness from my other shop, Kawaii Cupcake. This means that everything will be under the same tent...two COMPLETELY different themes in one place. Wonder if people will be super confused and think I'm odd?

However, this also means more pricepoints and more variety, which (hopefully) draw more attention to my booth. I'll have items priced from $4-$80, so there will be something for everyone there.

I made some business cards today...nothing fancy, just something to give people if anyone asks for contact information. I'm going to get some shiny new ones when I can, but these will do for now. My car's filled to the brim with stuff for tomorrow, including my 800 lb. tent. But, it's much easier to set up than the lightweight one that I had to put together. That was a major pain to say the least.

To all of you in the area, please come out to the market and say hello! There are lots of friendly vendors waiting to have a chat with you. I'll be the one with the chainmaille headband and the aqua zebra print shirt. I rock like that.

My Feature

A local magazine, the New River Valley Magazine, contacted me through Etsy, informing me that they wanted to do a piece on my jewelry.

I'm super excited! I've never been featured in something like this before, and I hope that there will be some nice exposure because of it.

My interview with the writer is Wednesday. She's going to give me a list of questions to look over beforehand so I'm not taken totally off guard during the interview. I'm glad I'll have a bit of time to think over my answers. I'd hate to sound silly or something. ;P

I'll be sure to mention Etsy and how awesome it is and all the great stuff you can find there, too.

In other news, I've spent this gloomy Saturday making a few pieces, none of which have been photographed due to said gloominess.

There's a show coming up at the end of the month. It's not a large one and I didn't sell much there last year, but the atmosphere is awesome and there are some really cool people there, so I'm going again anyway, despite the three hour drive each way.

I've also decided to spring for an E-Z up tent this year. I'm sick of having a great booth display and a sheezy little open tent that nearly blows away with the least little breeze. Part of my tax refund should assist nicely.

For the remainder of the day, I'll be working on more pieces. Wonder if I'll get anything done?
