Well, after 6 months of planning, 24 trips to the thrift store and 47 hand-made price tags, my first sale is officially done! I’m so exhausted and so happy. It was a heckuva lot of work, but totally worth it in the end. The market itself was pretty quiet, due to bad weather and such, but I was fortunate enough to have a steady stream of friends visit me through out the day. Anyone who took the time to trudge down to Granville Island on this miserable December day is a true spirit friend, and I’m so lucky to have you supporting me. Thank you.

A number of my favourite “big-ticket” items went fast, along with lots of scarves and accessories. I realize I haven’t featured my jewellery or scarves on the blog yet, but I will soon…perhaps with some “how to wear” instructions for the silk scarves, as was suggested today. I had so much fun chatting with people and I got some really great feedback from the other vendors, which was very encouraging.

I’m now going to take a little break for the Christmas holiday, but I’ll be back soon! Afterr today’s success and feedback from friends, I’ve decided to keep this little project going. I know there are more spirit friends out there who couldn’t come today, so keep checking this blog, twitter and/or facebook for updates about future sales in the new year.  In the meantime, I’ll keep shopping (of course), taking pictures of the clothes and posting outfit ideas on the blog. Thanks again to everyone who came out today and I’ll see the rest of you all in january!

your spirit friend,
