Well, I DID it! L.B.C is ova' I had fun with my Sister, Genine the "Shabby Rabbit" (Turns out Shabby
is HEREDITARY!)and my hubby, laughing and people watching. I still came home with
more than I would have liked...and I wish I could be like woohoooooo! I sold EVERYTHING! I am completely out of inventory, I am a rock star, yadda yadda, blahzay blahzay"... I will say this, the Long Beach Antique show is
GREAT if you are a buyer because the prices there are basically along the lines of a
swap meet WHICH in actuality, I told my husband that I want to go BACK as a buyer! So, I am really hoping that the Yorba Linda show I am doing in Nov. brings a better crowd..I got
A LOT of compliments on my booth though! I was definitely the "Best Dressed booth there" If that counts for anything? =) .Lots of oohh's and ahhh's and second looks but alas, they were satisfied with just the opportunity to drool and fondle my items.... hahahha.Well, I am NOT discouraged I am looking forward to other shows maybe I just haven't found my own tribe yet...what do they say? " It's hard to soar like an eagle, when your surrounded by Turkeys!" I did have a good time being with my family. YES, The whole familia came out! I
did get a nice dinner too.. A Veggie Burger, fries and Strawberry shortcake! Here are some pics. for your viewing plesh-aahhhhhhhhh...

well you did it and people liked it...maybe the crowd just wasn't wanting to spend a lot. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Looks great. Good luck on your next event
ReplyDeleteHi Meliss - I love the antique fair in Long Beach. My son lives right around the corner. We always walk to it when I'm visiting. Congrats on your success! Can't wait to see the lovelies you are going to be restoring.
