Increased is the word of the day! Increased appearances = Increased Sales = Increased cranking for MrB!
Just when we thought we were on tops of things, increased our targets of each size and goals of socks pairs on hand, we surpassed them today by selling way more pairs than we anticipated. This is great for us, and the demand seems to be increasing! We are just wondering how long it is going to last and if it will last into the summer with less visits to the market for part of that time period. This is a question that can not be answered, we only have to test the waters and see for ourselves.
The market seemed very up beat today! Many vendors had very good sales today including the new vendors too. Nice to see new vendors onboard as that makes us not the newbies anymore. Vendors were visiting vendors, vendors were talking with other vendors, vendors were visited by board members, and all was one big-little happy community.
It doesn't matter how many increases there are, the increase in market spirit is alive and well. Speaking of spirit also... MrB had a malfunction or minor machine break and treaded along with a bit of masking tape as a temporary fix. I don't think anyone else noticed it and he was able to keep cranking away. It is the spirit of this market that keeps us going, as every single time we get home and we are exhausted! I am exhausted as I type this but I feel so darn good. And both exhausted, here we are hours after the market is over, still working within Socks Made On 88 while everything is still very fresh in our minds. But not for much longer...MrB is winding yarn for his busy black-board orders from MsB, posted for his work ahead the first of the week. I am finishing up this blog entry and then it is on to cups of tea and a TV watching night of Canadian Curling...the Scotties Tournament of Hearts! Next market is in two weeks so I will be returning before then. But for now Good night all and have an awesome rest of the weekend, time to put our feet up!
