of warehouseitis, hedgies, and earrings

Good afternoon!

The mouse has been blog lazy lately. The mouse is ill from spending an entire freezing cold Sunday in a damp warehouse unsuccessfully attempting to sell her wares.

Let's just say the Heritage Market in Liverpool is not the best place to sell unique, handmade items. People seemed only interested in cheap sneakers and knockoff watches.

My friend Siobhan and I shared a table again, but thankfully it was a freebie because neither of us sold anything. That never happens, and it's not cool.

I'm seriously considering not going with any other events from this organizer. It's a shame because I actually really like them as people, but maybe it's time for something a little closer to home with a history of success.

Booked one date with the Floral Pavilion for May 1st, and may call the lady back and say I do indeed want to do March 6th as well. The tables are a bit more pricey than some I've done, and if I do it alone that's a risk for me, but I think I trust this venue more to provide customers that want to buy. Plus, it's just down the road so I don't have to pay anything for travel expenses. (Last time I put out £9 for train ticket and taxi fare and got nothing in return except a bad cold!)

In other news, the winner of the tiny animal poll is Hedgehog! You can expect to see some new tiny hedgies in my Etsy shop very soon. :)

Yesterday, due to not selling them at the market, I launched my new earring line in my Etsy shop. You can now purchase tiny mouse, tiny fox, and tiny valentine bunny earrings.

And now the mouse shall scurry off for a third cup of coffee and some more cold/flu capsules. As a reminder: a cold, damp warehouse is not a fun place to spend the entire day. I don't recommend it.
