Woohoo!
We are going on sale again.This time at my neighbourhood Morley Christmas Fair.Crowd expectation? BIG.
Temperture?Freezing. I can’t believe I’d be outside all day this weekend..from stall setup at 6.30am until closing at 7pm. All for £30 a day.We’ll see how well I do on Sat,and decide if I still want to do it for Sunday, as Sunday I’d need to close early due to Si going out of town for work.
In the meantime, gotta churn them earrings out.Si’s off tomorrow as we are due at the registrar’s office,with him around,I can’t seem to get anything done properly,so here’s hoping I get at least 10 pairs of earrings out tomorrow
I seem to be running out of stock of the essentials as well,which is not good..i.e. hooks and headpins.This weekend might be a good time to get rid of all the pearl necklaces that I have in stock.Heck, get rid of all my earrings since we’re at it!I can’t wait to sell them all off..even though every single one is a little bit of me
As usual, no more fun and games for me till sales day..hopefully,this time it’ll be better than my last dismal sale of only 6 pairs of earrings
No more blogging,if I can keep my hands off the keyboard!

Ahh..the sweet smell of failure…

Arrived at hickstown high at 6.30pm…small litle hall mostly filled with fat,well-fed students smirking around with their chav-like hugeass 9k gold earrings. Oh god,am I screwed.

I must say, at the profit of £37 (excluding the £5 rental fee), I did pretty ok comparatively…the Ann Summers booth outside did not even draw a glance from the horde of grandmas and soon-to-be chavettes.I could’nt believe the nerve of one teeny chavette when she pointed to me real south sea pearls and told her friends ‘Oh,look at what I have on my neck’ and proceeded to show off her plastic pearl necklace
Enough bitching.
Learnt a couple of things…first, I need to make cheaper earrings. People snatch those up like hotcakes…although, admittedly, at £5 each or two for three, I ain’t exactly selling them for dirt cheap.
And then I need to make sure I’m not placed at the entrance. When people walk in, they are intruiged by my items,but are more interested in checking everything else out first,since I AM the first stall. And then they promptly forget,or have spent all their money on other things that they have none left
It’s quite touching and funny to see people spend money on you. One customer wanted 2 pairs of my £7 earrings and one £5 pounds. Obviously the £5 will be the free one.Poor girl only had £10 left, so I obviously could not give them earrings to her. She digged into her purse and found two £1 coins, and gave all her money to me and asked me what can she have.
I do feel somewhat guilty of charging at times like this.

Tomorrow will be the maiden voyage for {lunabliss} uk! I’ve booked a store at the neighbourhood Burntcliffe High for their pre-christmas/ladies nite fair.Getting quite excited and working my poor fingers overtime to ensure that I have enough earrings (and body jewelry !) to sell and that packaging/pricing/display is all tip-top
Not actually anticipating many people though.It’s quite small,with only about 20 stores. They charge for entrance as well (wahlau just like clubbing ok), and thus far they had managed to sell 150 tickets,so depending on how well they do, will probably not exceed 200 people actually attending the fair.Will be a good first experience for me.
Ooo I’m so excited..I have about 100pairs but it seems so little when I’ve hooked them up on my display unit.Yep, don’t play play, I have a display unit ok! Mouahhaha
Wish me luck folks..no more blogging until after the fair..and no more Playboy channel too..
