Post 🍂 Fall on Canal 🍂chat
There is a version of this conversation after every Market. They usually and intentionally are around how grateful I am for the hardwork of my team (in this case Kiley as well as almost her whole family chipping in), Dakota our surprise set up and tear down manager, along with a bunch of young people carrying a BUNCH of mums, pumpkins and furniture over the bridge.
One of the hardest parts is putting a really big day in a lot of hands. The Mabel’s support (in the shop, setting up, at the entrances, musicians, garbage duty and so much more) and the vendors (showing up, being kind and flexible, cleaning up) and Mother Nature of course- who really calls the shots. ☀️🌦️☔️🌈
And every single time, not all of those are perfect. We have no-shows and cancellations or bad weather. And still the Market goes on.
Sweet photos are taken in the Little Red Truck, guests are smiling, downtown businesses are bustling and vendors are leaving with empty crates and full hearts.
And we get beautiful emails that say Thank You and how welcoming it feels at our events with the wonderful crowd we’ve (all) attracted.
So we aren’t doing it perfectly but we are doing it right. ❤️ And if you’ve followed along or been to every one of them, you’ve been part of it. If you’ve shopped at Mabel’s through the year, you’ve made it possible for us to be here long enough to keep going. So THANK YOU for making it so special.
We loved this addition to Market that asked “Where did you wander in from?”
And wow from California to New York. 🥰😊
If you were here, tell us everything! 👇
