  1. Did my first vending event without the hubby to assist. Arcata’s Friday Night Market has a slightly different vibe than Eureka’s, but it’s all good.

    Still meeting wonderful people who I want to converse with, but tonight it was challenging because I was the only one working in the booth. I think I lost a lot of sales because my hubby wasn’t there to be a second salesperson. There were moments when the booth was quite crowded and the conversationalists seemed to be unaware I needed to pay attention to others besides them…

    I need to figure out how to politely excuse myself without offense. still working on it.

    But it went well, and I proved to myself that I could do it by myself. I loaded and unloaded the car myself, got all the setup done in 1 hr 15 min, and takedown in 45 min. Then reloaded and unloaded at home. So that was a huge deal for me: proving to myself that in a pinch, it can be done. I feel tired, but it’s a good tired.

  2. Tonight I set up my booth for the first time by myself. I had to do it eventually, so now’s as good a time as any.

    it’s a lot of stuff, and while I usually have my husband helping me, he can’t tonight. So it will take me double the time to set it up and take it down. I’m sure I can do it, I just expect it’s going to be a long night. Haha!

    Wish me luck!

  3. Tonight #FridayNightMarkets shifts from their summer home in Eureka to a month-long stint in Arcata, about 15 minutes north and the home of Cal Poly Humboldt.

    I’m excited for the new experience, new attendees, new venue! It should be a lot of fun! We’ll see how it goes!

  4. Tonight’s the last night of #FridayNightMarkets in Eureka before it moves north to Arcata for the month of September.

    It has been a fabulous day today with the sun shining and a nice low 60s temp. Soft breeze. I’m thinking tonight may be a busy night as folks come out and swing through for the last time.

    We’ll see!
