Market Day Six

 

 

Hello Everybody!

I'm not going to go into how I fell UP the DOWN escalator!  I'm just not going to go there.  I dont want you all to think I'm just a disaster!  So instead I will say how I feel really great about all the cool things we found and cant wait to get them into the shops!  I would imagine by the time I get back to work, some things should have arrived already.

Fossil has decided to drop us as a customer as they are looking to brand their product as more exclusive.  I cannot tell you how many thousands...no tens of thousands of dollars we have purchased with them and for them to do that...I will not be sending happy thoughts their way anymore!  Oh well, business is business.  They will find out that the little guys are what was keeping them alive in the recessed economy!  Can I say this...Do yall remember Beanie Babies?  Yep...Enough said!

Well, we may get done tomorrow!  I hope!  If so I'm heading home and to my studio and on a BIG DIET!!  Yahoooo!

Here are a few shots from today's adventures....

Some jewelry that reminded me of idea-ology pieces.

 

 

 

I thought these frames were cute...

 

Here is Marsha doing her job and checking out the boxers in a Boxer booth.  Her husband must be so proud of her for really going beyond the call of duty to make sure they were quality...LOL!

 

After Dinner we drove to Highland Park Village to check out the shops and the displays.  Aren't the trees in the shot below incredible?

 

This is one of my favorite shops.  This shop is run by volunteers.  It's totally amazing!

 

A plaque on the outside of the shop.

Thanks for looking gang!  Have an awesome night!

I fall up the stairs more than I'd like to say but to do both that take some talent lol. Love the look of the St Michael's Woman's Exchange I think I could spend hours there.

Hmmmm...you must share your story. :)
As for Fossil, you are absolutely right, it will be their loss, big time. Don't they watch the news? Most people only have pennies to spend, not dollars. Ohhh I could go on, but I will get off, no wait, fall off my soap box. Tee hee. You have good taste, loved what you shared today(and so does Marsha!)

Thanks for sharing all the great things you've seen at the show.

As for Fossil, I've looked at their things many times. I've always deemed them too costly for the quality delivered. If I'm going out to buy "high end" Fossil is not it.

I predict it won't be long before they show up at SAMS club or BJS. :)

OMG...did Tim design the jewelry?!?!?! It really does look like Idea-ology stuff. HUMMM....a new career path for you, Jim.

And falling up the the down escalator...really...gotta laugh!! I'm a klutz but I don't think I've ever done that...LOL!!!

wow such beautiful stuff. You are right about the jewelry. Looks just like T!m made them himself, and isn't Marsha a caution. /glad you are having fun. Who needs Fossil anyway

I've loved looking at all your pictures the past few days. You definitely have a good eye! Not exactly sure how you fall up the down escalator but will allow you some dignity and not ask. As for Fossil, I doubt any customers will ask what happened to them.
