Catching Up

I’ve been neglecting my blog lately, so now it’s time for a quick catch up post. Hopefully I’ll be back to posting regularly next week.

Surgery

Top of mind, for obvious reasons, is my surgery that is scheduled for 11.30 Pacific tomorrow. Any positive vibes or prayers would be appreciated!

Unique Boutique

My cards and bookmarks were juried into the Unique Boutique, so now I’m a member there. Yay! I’ve already sold a few cards. So that’s very positive.

I’ve signed up for working there three days/month. I’m also working on some other things that I’ll submit to the jury in September.

Etsy

Like my blog, I’ve been neglecting Etsy. Since I stopped advertising there I’m not making any sales.

I’ve been taking photos of my cards, so I can put them up there. I’m just not sure if it’s worth my time right now. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m also undecided about putting up my cards here on SquareSpace.

De Anza Flea Market

Next time I’ll be at the De Anza Flea Market is October 7th. I will miss the market next week because of my surgery.

Hopefully the October market will be full on spooky! 👻🦇🧛🏻‍♀️

Chabot Flea Market

I drove up to Chabot College a few weeks ago. There I found out that the markets for August and September were sold out. They were taking sign-ups for October. That may have changed since then.

Craft Fairs

I’ve signed up for the craft fair at Fairwood Explorer Elementary School in Sunnyvale. It’s on November 18th.

If you’re aware of other South Bay craft fairs, I’m all ear.
