Ca Va: Stormy Weather at The Long Beach Antique Market

Making new friends is always a treat when I'm out selling and this past Sunday was a perfect day filled with new friends and faces. Although the weather was a bit on the grey side and slightly drizzly, there was still lots of fun to be had for everyone. I didn't expect a huge turn out because the forecast had called for lightening storms and such but the crowd was great and people seemed to be really enjoying the cooler temperature for sure. I certainly know that I was anyways!

I love that the attendees at the various flea markets here in Southern California vary much more than you would think. I absolutely love working with the designers and such at The Rose Bowl because it's awesome to hear what they are going to do with the items they purchase from me. The Long Beach Antique Market has a very young and hip crowd that is also fun to work with and boy do they know how to haggle, let me tell you! LOL However I am noticing that I am getting to work with many brides of all ages and it's really interesting to know that something from my shop will be such a focal piece in their weddings. It's even more fun to hear of all of the different possibilities a bird cage can have at a wedding or how they are going to create a display with antique French postcards. I love being creative and offering my help and I must have gone overboard because I was called a Wedding Planner not just once, but TWICE! haha Maybe I should consider adding weddings to my business card?...just a thought ;-)

So yes, Sunday was fantastic and I enjoyed every single customer that came into my stall. I even sold out of one of the items on my "menu" board! So exciting......

My next sale will be on Sunday, August 4th at The Irvine Flea Market at The Great Park. See you there!
