My First Festival / Market is this Weekend in Humble, TX

Well, Peeps....Wish us Luck.....Mom & I are gonna give the festival thing a try this weekend at Trade Days in Humble, TX.  I'll have my handmade jewelry and upcycled purses/journals/dayplanners for sale, and Mom will have her gorgeous handmade cards there at a super low price, because she wants some major sales!

Let's hope things go better than the time we tried to sell designer clothing at the flea market in Security, TX....I don't think anyone in that neck of the woods (literally woods) had every heard of Chico's, Coldwater Creek, J Jill, or Talbots.  I sold 1 necklace that day, and we sold no clothing. 

I'm excited to see what Trade Days is like.  It's at the Convention Center on Will Clayton Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  If the weather cooperates, there's supposed to be a pretty good crowd.  I'm interested to see what other vendors show up too.  It should be fun!

UPDATE:  We had a ton of fun at Trade Days, and we're really looking forward to going there again the 3rd weekend in October.  We'll be in booth 17D, so come by and say Hi! 

We met so many awesome vendors and made some sales too, which was exciting. Everyone just loved Mommy's cards and thought they should have been much more expensive.  I agree, totally!

This is a very well run trade fair in my opinion. They allow the vendors to set up Thursday evening, and there is 24 hour security on the site, so you can leave your booth set up all weekend, which is a big help!
We loved it and can't wait to go back! 

I have to admit we did some shopping while we were there, so that kind of cut into our profits, but we couldn't help ourselves. There are so many awesome antique dealers there, as well as jewelry, supplies, 1200 thread count Eqyptian cotton sheets for $20.00 (couldn't resist!), and a really cool booth with everything Scottish. Mom & Dad bought a beautiful bonsai tree, and we got some great ideas for our booth set-up.

Hope to see you there!  :)

My New Favorite Etsy Shop - EmKatCreations is Right On with the Intuitive Readings!!

http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmKatCreations?section_id=7214512

Kat is an amazing Intuitive who's been reading Tarot for over 10 years.  Normally I'm not into Tarot and prefer Angel cards myself, but I found her shop, EmKatCreations, on Etsy the other day & purchased a 3 card reading for $5.

Wow! Was I amazed by the results! I've been telling everybody & their grandma about it!

All I had to do was send her my first name, astrological sign, hometown & question. My question was very vague: "I have a question about work-related problems."

She sent me a photo of the 3 cards that came up during the reading and a detailed explanation. Here it is,
and she was dead on!  I'm amazed!  Now I think I'm addicted, because I just purchased a 13 card "year ahead" reading for $30 and am on pins and needles waiting for her email!  Go, Kat!  A friend ordered a 5 card "love" reading, and we're holding our breath 'til we get that one too!

• Before you read any further, all three cards pulled are of the Major Arcana.  To me this indicates that this situation is very important in your life right now.

Card 1: Background: 11 – Justice, reversed

Standard meaning: Bias, false accusations, intolerance, unfairness, abuse

My interpretation: The situation at your workplace has multiple facets.  One of the largest concerns is unfair treatment as well as a superior believing false accusation against you.

Card 2: Problem: 7 – The Chariot, reversed

Standard meaning: Unsuccessful, defeat, failure, last minute loss, vanquishment

My interpretation: Currently you feel as if you’ve run into a brick wall when attempting to have this problem addressed.  This is not an inaccurate statement and you should better trust your instincts.  The person you are approaching or considering approaching will have limited opportunity or desire to assist you.

Card 3: Advice: 13 - Death

Standard meaning: Transformation, making way for the new, unexpected change, loss, failure, illness or death, bad luck

My interpretation: There will be change and it will be sudden and appear as a streak of bad luck.  Take precautions now and you will be better able to meet the challenges ahead of you.  Transformation leads to change and opportunity as surely as death leads to re-birth.
