Your booth always looks amazing! Loooove your sheep picture! Your jewelry displays are always so cool! That book art is stunning in that Paperdoll booth. I really like the birds. You don't see that kind of art much at all. So cute. Praying you guys have bigger sales! I love your products!
Thank you! We appreciate your kind words! Paper dolls is just so innovative, I love seeing her booth. It’s feast for the eyes!
In the retail world January and February are slow months, people are recovering from Christmas spending!! Your booth and the items you are selling look beautiful, good luck on Saturday!!🇨🇦
Thank you. February is usually ok, but after taxes are filed. The early market might have bearing on the slow shopping.
The booth looks wonderful. I thing the slow sales were due to the current economy. It's going to take some time for it to recover. I love the revamp you did in the middle of the day. Those that return for a second day may see things that they didn't today. As for the "vintage" in Vintage Market Days, I do sell true antiques and vintage items and at the last show I did people commented that there were very few vintage booths. I feel that there is a little bit of everything for everyone at these shows. People put so much into the setup and their booths are amazing. Best of luck ladies. I hope you kill it today!
Thank you for the kind words. Yes. We’ve been trying to get more and more vintage in our booth, and it does sell decently. Markets had gotten better, but I think the last few weeks have created greater uncertainty and that always makes people hold onto their cash.
Your booth looks great. I noticed the uptake in people picking up greenery as soon as you began moving items around. Even on video it seems more pleasing to the eye. I’m sure day 2 will be better!! The Paper Doll booth is most unique I think I have ever seen. Also would be interesting to know how other booths were doing sales wise as well. I always enjoy all your wrap ups and they way you try to showcase other booths. Best wishes Ladies!!
Thank you for the kind words. I included changing things up because I do want people to see that something can look great, but a change may help improve sales. You have to really pay attention to customer interactions with the merchandise.
Oh. I also wanted to say that other vendors feel exactly the same way about sales. Average seems to be down about 30%.
For it to be called "Vintage" Market Days, it appears to be mostly new items. I mean, the items are pretty, but I would be looking for actual old items. I can't wait to see how you do for Saturday.
@@anngallegos5515 that’s been an issue for years! Outside of greenery, we hardly buy wholesale anymore. We did buy the canvas wholesale, but we at least either thrifted/upcycled or made the frames. Most of the non-greenery is either Upcycled or vintage. Most of what seems to be selling, based on people’s bags, is hobby lobby looking stuff.
Thanks for update & insights. Looking forward to seeing how your Saturday goes. Here's to a $4000 day!
Well, we will update you with another video tomorrow, Day 2 wrap up.
All the items made from books were absolutely amazing. Ive never seen that before. Those items were stunning.
@@Crystal-iy4si she is just beyond creative, isn’t she? I’m always in awe!
I live in Mobile, and if I hadn't come across your TH-cam video, I would have never known. Definitely was not advertised.
I posted on my FB page.
@@AngelaPope-n4u oh my. That’s sad to hear.

Good luck today!
🤞thank you! 💕
I need to find someone to make a book cross!!! Those book creations were amazing!!!
I can try, or I can pick up one for you tomorrow and just bill you for it, and add it to your next order from us.
@@VintageBeeDesign if you could grab one for me that would be wonderful!!! 😊
@@donnawatson7617 any particular color?
@@VintageBeeDesign any color would be fine. Only if it's not an imposition.
None at all! I grab one for you tomorrow!
Love that green emerald purse, u have taste like me. Telling ya, my two booths are doing nothing, wish n hope for change
Sue says I’m a magpie! It’s hard to argue that point. I love shiny sparkly things, but also Rusty crusty ones! Our booth, at Linen & Rust, is doing pretty good but nothing here at this market.
@ sorry. That sucks
Fellow vendors must be thrilled that you critique their displays on YT, lol.
Actually I have a lot of vendors tanking me for including them. I can’t think of anything negative I’ve said about anyone. I enjoy the vendors here.
I think you have too many pretty dried flower in large baskets and not enough items to purchase in your booth this time around. Just my observations so far.
@@michellelee5163 I’m contemplating what you have to say, but we typically count on 70% of our sales coming from greenery.
Good luck today!
@@gwenhatcher7542 thanks!❤️
