Holiday Hit List

So I have a big show this weekend- The Holiday Hit List. There are 75 vendors, a fashion show and djs. There was a HUGE turn out last year so hopeful we will get the same this year.

In preparation I have been slowly making hair pieces and not taking the time to list them in etsy but instead just putting them in my craft show box. I counted today and i have 131 pieces, new and old. If I don't sell anything I am going to have a LOT of new stuff to put up in my shop!

This will most likely be my last craft show in CA. It has not been very profitable for me and i dont have much time these days. So I will be selling all my supplies (tent, tables, chair, etc) sometime very soon.

So wish me luck and if any of your are in the area, stop by!

Love, Teneisha aka 10eisha

inhale....exhale.

I have decided to put my etsy shop on vacation mode for a week. I need to catch up and figure out a better system to shipping and all that. I sure as hell can not run to the post office for international orders everyday! I also need to do my business taxes. bla.

Wish me deep breaths.

Back to work!

So...I found out yesterday that after 8 months of looking, I was finally chosen for a full time job which I start next Tuesday.

Back to work!

What does that mean for my etsy shop, blog, twitter, etc. etc....I have no idea.

For the time being I will most likely finish the custom orders I have now and stop taking new ones, and this blog will most likely fall by the way side. I will keep my shop open and will still sell what I have I there now but who knows about new stuff going up.

I'm sure once I'm settled in the new job I will get back into making the hair pieces for fun.

Life is funny how quickly it changes.

For now, I have lots to do today.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

What I learned last week. #7

What did I learn last week?

Well life was a bit stressful last week so I guess I learned that sometimes you just need to switch gears to hold onto your sanity. Read a book, take a walk, tend your garden. Let it go.

I also learned that you should weigh one of your packages after you have the label all taped on because i'm willing to bet that they are an ounce heavier than you think.

I learned that people, in this case other crafters are so very sweet and really do want the best for you as you do for them. Thank you ladies... :)

I hope you all have a fantastic sales filled week!

A few Custom Pieces from September

What I learned last week. #6

I learned that shipping supplies from Staples are half the price if you order online and pick up at your store. Seriously.

I learned that it is impossible to buy small quantities of real chenille "dots" or wired chenille for veils. There are approximately 2 websites that sell them in the world and both have outrageous minimums and shipping charges. True story.

I learned that there is a sticky situation when you are between not being able to afford bulk but selling to many of your product to not buy in bulk. a.k.a. : you run out of stuff....A LOT.

I learned that out of necessity you will come up with ways to keep things in order. Don't waste a lot of time trying to force it, it will happen on its own.

I learned that returning supplies to the craft store instead of just saying "oh well it didn't work for this project but I'm sure i will use it later" is much more satisfying than ending up with more supplies than you have storage for.

I learned that USPS first class mail to your own state isn't as solid as you would think. Thank you, post office, for helping me to stress a Bride out and force her into a non veiled wedding.

On that note I learned that if someone wants something with expedited shipping...make them pay for priority, even if they live in your own state.

I learned a lot this week!!

What did you learn?

via you are remarkable:

Every day is the best day ever. No second chances and no regrets, now and now and now. Memory is a reminder of… memory is a reminder that things were one way before, but TODAY is the chance to make everything how you want it to you be.
The first step is the first step towards the sun.
Start your day:

Today is going to be the best today that I can live.

Wake up.
Breathe in; the sun warms the air and your lungs smile.
The sunshine in your lungs permeates your blood.
Spreads throughout your entire body.
Energy, energy, energy.
