Hey Y'all,
Hope your weekend is off to a great start! Dreamscape Crafts set out on a big adventure today! We're doing our first craft show on the road, which is super exciting and a little nerve racking at the same time, but God is good! We drove 2 hours to Mankato this morning to do the Holiday Gift & Craft Show located at the Mayo Health Systems Event Center. It's being hosted by the Rose Gift & Craft Show crew & let me just say that we are super impressed with them & I have a sneaky feeling that this is the start of a beautiful relationship together! They have been so organized & helpful, which makes doing our job that much easier. Simply amazing! In fact, we're contemplating doing another show with them in December, but I will share more details later once we make a final decision.
The only real bummer of the day is that because of the distance and scheduling conflicts, the Granicas couldn't all come with, which made setup a nightmare. We're used to having a 6-7 man crew & today there was only 3 of us. Plus, we had 4 booths which was the most we have ever done! We worked well together, each of us knowing what our projects were, but there was just too much to do, so we finished setting up about 45 minutes late. Oh well! It's not perfect, but the booth looks amazing & we're in a great location! Hopefully, this weekend will bring lots of sales, opportunities to bless our customers as well as making new friends with other vendors. We've already gotten several leads on some other popular shows throughout Minnesota! How cool is that!
Well, I should probably get some rest! We have to be back at the show before 9:30 tomorrow morning! If you live nearby, come say hi! We'd love to meet you & the first 80 people receive a rose & a gift bag full of goodies from the vendors! There's even a little something from Dreamscape in there! Nighty night friends! Stay tuned for an update after tomorrow's festivities!! πβοΈ
