Your grandma and cousin are so cute!! And I don’t blame you about not going the second day. I definitely wouldn’t have either, especially with a sick kitty at home 🥹🫶
8 minutes in and I subscribed! "I gotta start crocheting, I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out." TOTALLY something I would have said! lol (So sorry your baby is sick, hopefully he is feeling better!)
so sad you missed the second day. yeah inventory has to be huge when you go to big events. Kudos on the sales. I love the snap bracelets. Fun! SHame on the parents who said that to their little boy. I bought 5 grids and never use them. Too difficult to set up alone. I do set up with tabletop shelving that I got creative with. I will send you a photo. Love your videos and you humor gets me everytime. THrowing the tent! Be careful because the screws come loose.
Hi. Love your items! An idea for the grid wall, you can make like foam squares or panels to attach to the grid walls. Can print out a layout, like the people that use it for comic con keychains or things to display on them. Just an idea. Love seeing how inspiring you are. I don't crochet, but love seeing all crochet artists vlogs for market ideas for my future. And to see all the cute items you guys make. ❤
Hi! Love your VLOGS and can’t wait for the display mash up review. I have been binge watching your videos today and I want to say thank you for going over Square, I believe was in your prep video for this market. I have been on the fence on getting one or not and you answered my inventory question about it so I went ahead and ordered it today!!!! So excited to get it all set up and use the inventory mgt features. I do not have any display pics as I have not completed my first market yet. It is 44 days out
You always seem to have soo many unique items that sets you apart from other crochet vendors!! You have the basics, leggie frogs, chickens, mallards etc but you also keep introducing new unique items, Snap snakes, beer mugs, pencil just to name a few. They are all AMAZING, I personally think that is one of the reasons you do so well. Everyone seems to have the cats but so few have DOGS! coming from a dog mom/grandma THANK YOU for carrying dogs lol OMG YES definitely learned to update the card reader BEFORE even getting to the event. I had my walls up trying to set up kinda in private lol since it was a 4 day event and I had people just moving the tent doors aside and coming right on in and started going through my boxes. Although annoyed I would have definitely sold to her but my card reader needed to update because I hadn't even turned it on before the event. Definitely think you should wear the snap snake, Personally I'd wear it further up my arm and possible do in a multicolored yarn not in solid colors?? please explain this to me: if you've restocked your yarn and supplies from profits made from a previous market WHY do so many subtract material costs from their profits? In my eyes this isn't accurate because you've already made that money from previous sales. You don't continue to add in the cost of tables etc because they were purchased and the money has already been made back. I'm seriously not being rude, please explain the logic in this to me. I get if you want to said I used approximately X dollar amount in materials however I'm not subtracting it because It was profits from a previous market that were used to restock supplies. Is my thinking wrong? Because after each weekend sale I have I place an order for new ribbon prints and I don't subtract this from my profits because I literally just made that from previous sales. It would be different if I didn't cover my expenses and had to pull money out of my personal account to purchase business supplies.
Thank you for this comment! I only subtract material costs from the specific items that sold and how much it costs to make them so I can get more of a true profit. For example I can say I made all this money in sales but if I spent half of that money to make the items thats important to calculate in order to get an accurate number of how much I actually made if that makes sense. In a video I did a while back about configuring profit margins it was really helpful to see my material costs per item to see specifically what costs the most to make and what’s giving me the best profit margins.
I absolutely love your market videos 👏 It's so much fun to see how you handle market's, and then do the cost/profit breakdown at the end *chef's kiss* I have my very first market coming up soon, and I will happily send you pics of my setup 🫶💕 Oh and I hope Honey Mustard is doing lots better now that he's taking some medicine. I would be beside myself if my fur son Tater Tot was ill in any way 🥺 heal quickly Honey Mustard!! 🙏
Hooray, the flamingo sold!!! I knew it would!! Congratulations with that sale and this market. So happy for you! 🎉❤ I was wondering if you would ever make another one.
Thank you so much!! I wasn’t the biggest fan of working with the jumbo yarn. Cost too much for the materials to make her but I’ll definitely go back to making the regular size! I love that pattern💕🦩
Wow wahat a beautiful setting to have a market booth!! So happy you did well. I find the grid walls are very cumbersome, too. But what does do well for me on them is my hanging crochet plants and Yip Yip Baskets. I think the items hanging and moving brings the attention to the gridwalls and the bright basket colors. But, they are a hassel and heavy!
That’s a really great point! I love them for my keychains cause I can fit so many on there but other than that I’m just so done with them😅 thank you for watching!!💕
Loved your video! You made a great amount of money and don’t feel bummed. Considering the circumstances you did great! I don’t understand how snakes are girly.. I had the same reaction you did. And your “freaking out” moment right after the snake thing was hilarious! I really did laugh out loud haha I’ve felt like that so many times at markets 😂
The family telling their son the snap snakes were "too girly" but then offered to buy him a different one was just not cool. I'm sorry some people suck. I was there at the end of June and they had a whole bunch of vendors set up that weekend. I was all excited, and then bummed that I may have missed you, and then slightly relieved because I realize I probably didn't miss you. 🤣 (I hope not.) That's great that you did so well though!
I love your vlogs so much, it always feel like you're being so honest about how your markets go. I like seeing how you manage different situations and it's always so great watching you succeed. One day I'll work up the courage to go to market with my crochet, and I'll look to your channel for inspiration, What Would Manda Do? 😂 Hope your son is feeling better soon! ❤
i love the snake bracelets!! i submitted my setup pic! I would love to see a video on everyone's different setups! I am always looking for new ideas that don't take up much car space!
You're vibe is so amazing! I love watching your videos 💜 (I'm horrible about taking after pictures of my events..lol) but! I do have some set up videos on my TH-cam (they're shorts, as I'm not sure of myself to do actual long filming..lol)
You have a beautiful grandma…such a lovely smile! It’s too bad you didn’t have more stock as it seemed like an awesome market. Your table was pretty empty in the end. Now you have a lot of crocheting to build back your inventory😂.
what an AWESOME place to have a setup! especially since you didn't get rain. sorry about the gridwalls and your car. :( i'll email some of my pics (thisnthatncrap) which include a collapsible shelf that's super easy to transport and has been an awesome way to display and store items.
It makes me so sad, one market there was like a 10yr old boy and he wanted a purple Dino I had and his mom kept telling him he had to pick a “boy” color or he couldn’t get anything at all he did pick out another item but he really wanted the purple dino
That was a great market. Unfortunate that you couldn't do the second day but you'll get another chance on the next one. Maybe you should do some deco on the grid. It looked a little blend, if I'm making sense. It could also be because of the fall items. Mix the fall stuff with other items. Just my thoughts.
Thank you so much! It definitely depends on the event/event organizer. This event organizer was great. She only allows one crocheter there for their regular weekends which I appreciate. When organizers don’t screen the vendors, there does tend to be a lot of other crocheters there which does sometimes affect sales.
@@MadebyMandaMal Understood.... I'm in my later 60's and for some reason I struggle with instagram.... That's ok, I was just curious. Happy for you that it was a good show!
Hii! Thank you so much for watching!! I just use my iPhone😅 I bought some extra iCloud storage so I have a lot of space for video and I use premiere pro to edit but there’s free editing softwares out there if you’re just getting started!
Wow, you had an amazing day!! I would LOVE to see a video of you discussing different setups. I’d love for you to feature mine, and I was wondering if you would accept a short video of my display. I think it’s so much easier to see everything. But if not, I’m happy to send pictures. Fantastic idea!! ❤😊
@@MadebyMandaMal thank you! I just sent you an email. Unfortunately the video I wanted to send was too large, but I sent you some pictures from the setup. Thanks again!! 😄
I never leave a fair because I think I don't have enough. You have more product for your second day than I did and you never know what people want or are ooking for. You could have sold out. Just make your setup smaller and more compact for the second day and it will look like you have more. Just my opinion. Also if you use solid wood shelves on the gridwall instead of the mesh it is more seen.
If the drive wasn’t as far I definitely would’ve went the second day but I was exhausteddd from the travel so it ended up being the best decision for me. But thank you for this feedback and thanks for watching!
I thought the snakes were cute and in no way gender specific. So odd when people want to assign things to specific genders. Let the kid be who he wants to be and want what he wants. Sheesh. I feel your pain with the grid walls damaging your car. Sorry that happened. Hoping Honey Mustard is continually getting better
Loved this video! So fun to see how the day went for you and the breakdown! Sorry about what happened with the car though T_T I'm going to send you a picture of my setup on instagram! :D
Sounds like you had a great day despite many obstacles. Congrats! Thankyou for sharing Manda!
Of course! Thank you! Thanks so much for watching!!
So good to go to the markets with you. Love it!
Love hangin with you at the markets!! Thanks so much for watching!💕

I was panicking😅 he’s finally getting better!! Thank you so much! Thank you for watching and subscribing!💕
Your family is so beautiful! I really just adore you 💜💕
That means so much to me thank you so much🥹💕 thanks for watching!

They would absolutely be besties. My Spud is a pretty chill guy 👌 Thank you so much! I'm super excited and super nervous 😅 I really hope it goes well.
Put a solid color cloth/fabric behind the gridwalls. My mentor taught me that people look THROUGH them if they don't have a solid back.
I feel like that’s definitely what happens so that’s great to know!! .. if I ever use them again😅 thank you for sharing!!
Hooray, the flamingo sold!!! I knew it would!! Congratulations with that sale and this market. So happy for you! 🎉❤ I was wondering if you would ever make another one.

I never remember to update square 🙈 So I just write everything down as I sell it in a notebook
My chicken scratch could never😂 I wouldn’t even be able to decipher it after. I need to be more proactive about updating my square ugh

Yay! Thank you for sending!!💕

Just sent you my last setup!
YAY thank you!!!❤️
Wow. Great market. I can't believe with booth fees of $250, you had to pay $20/day parking on top of that. Snake bracelets are definitely not girlie.
Thank you so much!! And I know🙄 definitely would’ve been more than worth it tho if I had more stuff for the second day. Thanks so much for watching!❤️

Snakes are girly?! Since when?
Also, if they said "if you want a snap bracelet we'll get you a different one". 1000% they'll never get him one.
