Hi! Love your VLOGS and can’t wait for the display mash up review. I have been binge watching your videos today and I want to say thank you for going over Square, I believe was in your prep video for this market. I have been on the fence on getting one or not and you answered my inventory question about it so I went ahead and ordered it today!!!! So excited to get it all set up and use the inventory mgt features. I do not have any display pics as I have not completed my first market yet. It is 44 days out

So good to go to the markets with you. Love it!

Your grandma and cousin are so cute!! And I don’t blame you about not going the second day. I definitely wouldn’t have either, especially with a sick kitty at home 🥹🫶

Great results for your show. Your items are so cute and appealing to customers. Keep it up!

Hi. Love your items! An idea for the grid wall, you can make like foam squares or panels to attach to the grid walls. Can print out a layout, like the people that use it for comic con keychains or things to display on them. Just an idea. Love seeing how inspiring you are. I don't crochet, but love seeing all crochet artists vlogs for market ideas for my future. And to see all the cute items you guys make. ❤

Hooray, the flamingo sold!!! I knew it would!! Congratulations with that sale and this market. So happy for you! 🎉❤ I was wondering if you would ever make another one.

Your family is so beautiful! I really just adore you 💜💕

[maryelgin]

so sad you missed the second day. yeah inventory has to be huge when you go to big events. Kudos on the sales. I love the snap bracelets. Fun! SHame on the parents who said that to their little boy. I bought 5 grids and never use them. Too difficult to set up alone. I do set up with tabletop shelving that I got creative with. I will send you a photo. Love your videos and you humor gets me everytime. THrowing the tent! Be careful because the screws come loose.

I absolutely love your market videos 👏 It's so much fun to see how you handle market's, and then do the cost/profit breakdown at the end *chef's kiss*
I have my very first market coming up soon, and I will happily send you pics of my setup 🫶💕
Oh and I hope Honey Mustard is doing lots better now that he's taking some medicine. I would be beside myself if my fur son Tater Tot was ill in any way 🥺 heal quickly Honey Mustard!! 🙏

Wow wahat a beautiful setting to have a market booth!! So happy you did well. I find the grid walls are very cumbersome, too. But what does do well for me on them is my hanging crochet plants and Yip Yip Baskets. I think the items hanging and moving brings the attention to the gridwalls and the bright basket colors. But, they are a hassel and heavy!

8 minutes in and I subscribed! "I gotta start crocheting, I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out." TOTALLY something I would have said! lol (So sorry your baby is sick, hopefully he is feeling better!)

You always seem to have soo many unique items that sets you apart from other crochet vendors!! You have the basics, leggie frogs, chickens, mallards etc but you also keep introducing new unique items, Snap snakes, beer mugs, pencil just to name a few. They are all AMAZING, I personally think that is one of the reasons you do so well. Everyone seems to have the cats but so few have DOGS! coming from a dog mom/grandma THANK YOU for carrying dogs lol OMG YES definitely learned to update the card reader BEFORE even getting to the event. I had my walls up trying to set up kinda in private lol since it was a 4 day event and I had people just moving the tent doors aside and coming right on in and started going through my boxes. Although annoyed I would have definitely sold to her but my card reader needed to update because I hadn't even turned it on before the event. Definitely think you should wear the snap snake, Personally I'd wear it further up my arm and possible do in a multicolored yarn not in solid colors??

please explain this to me: if you've restocked your yarn and supplies from profits made from a previous market WHY do so many subtract material costs from their profits? In my eyes this isn't accurate because you've already made that money from previous sales. You don't continue to add in the cost of tables etc because they were purchased and the money has already been made back.
I'm seriously not being rude, please explain the logic in this to me. I get if you want to said I used approximately X dollar amount in materials however I'm not subtracting it because It was profits from a previous market that were used to restock supplies. Is my thinking wrong?
Because after each weekend sale I have I place an order for new ribbon prints and I don't subtract this from my profits because I literally just made that from previous sales. It would be different if I didn't cover my expenses and had to pull money out of my personal account to purchase business supplies.

I love your vlogs so much, it always feel like you're being so honest about how your markets go. I like seeing how you manage different situations and it's always so great watching you succeed. One day I'll work up the courage to go to market with my crochet, and I'll look to your channel for inspiration, What Would Manda Do? 😂

Hope your son is feeling better soon! ❤

[ccbaity]

I've been waiting to hear how your kitty is. Best wishes for his health!

[CreativeKaryin]

i love the snake bracelets!!
i submitted my setup pic! I would love to see a video on everyone's different setups! I am always looking for new ideas that don't take up much car space!

[XBlessings]

Loved your video! You made a great amount of money and don’t feel bummed. Considering the circumstances you did great! I don’t understand how snakes are girly.. I had the same reaction you did. And your “freaking out” moment right after the snake thing was hilarious! I really did laugh out loud haha I’ve felt like that so many times at markets 😂

[beth]

The family telling their son the snap snakes were "too girly" but then offered to buy him a different one was just not cool.
I'm sorry some people suck.
I was there at the end of June and they had a whole bunch of vendors set up that weekend. I was all excited, and then bummed that I may have missed you, and then slightly relieved because I realize I probably didn't miss you. 🤣
(I hope not.)
That's great that you did so well though!

You're vibe is so amazing! I love watching your videos 💜 (I'm horrible about taking after pictures of my events..lol) but! I do have some set up videos on my YouTube (they're shorts, as I'm not sure of myself to do actual long filming..lol)

[nicholedriver]

Hi!! I love your videos so much!! You inspire me so much!! May I ask what camera and video program you use?
