Change of Plans

 

No Raceway for us today.... 

When you sell a product, you have to think about the type of people that will be attending the events you're lining up to show your wares at. Shopping oriented events always promote higher sales, Whereas, family activities events, are more focused on the activities rather than spending money on shopping.

Remember I said it was the first year they were going to have sales vendors there. So, this was a real 'maybe' for our product line. We didn't know where they planned to put vendors and how it was all going to blend in with the races. We would know more on Friday.

After a complete evaluation of the plan, we decided it's best not to do the 'races'. For one, our products are not really 'racing' oriented. For two, the horrid fog that has been overtaking us in the mornings. We have a lot of paper / photo paper * based products and the moisture in the mornings could be quite damaging. For three, it's a racetrack - loud - stinky - dusty and did I mention - loud. And fourth - our tent broke a leg and sprung a leak at the last event. We were not planning to buy a new tent until spring; We would have to bring a bolt and gray tape to do some preliminary work. {Tacky}

Papa is still recovering a bit from the last procedure, not quite feeling 100%, plus we ended up getting sick a few weeks ago and neither of us are up to 100% from that either. Spending the day outside in the ever-changing weather doesn't sound like a good idea to stay healthy. We have 2 more events this month, both are indoors. It's best to keep our health up, and the products in top shape for those events, rather than have everything covered in dust and destroyed from the moisture of the morning dew. 

We've had a rather large order delayed for nearly a month now, I think that has been a factor in our decision as well. The box is finally due today! It has business supplies and products. Plus, I have a few other packages due today and really don't want a bunch of boxes sitting on the porch all day with no one home. 

Sometimes the stars just don't line up for something to happen. I've learned to not force the 'forces' and just 'go with the flow' a little more. Life is smoother, I'm happier and there is so much less stress!  Everything always seems to work out, somehow.

Meanwhile, and as always ~ if you have noticed anything that sparked your delight as we feature products here and on FB, we do take direct orders and would be happy to put one together for you. 

I have a few special requests going on right now. 

A photograph emailed to us, can be reproduced on most all of our products.
