well - i originally had this post about what it takes to run 2 businesses, & all the bullshit i have been dealing with both recently, including packaging shortages and vendor annoyances...
plus a little thing about turning down allentown market last weekend after getting accepted but declined due to hotel prices being double & triple from the spring date thanks to steelers having a home game.. [ had 3 emails asking if i would be there again so people could stock up ] sorry!: booking a hotel is the 1st thing i do for away events before i even think about paying the booth fee....[ btw those awesome customers were reminded of my coupon they got with purchase to grab online, & thank you to those who ordered! ]

....and then a there was a little about personal life & all that including being 41 & have been living in a little hidden world called perimenopause for the past few years... & running on fumes lately

well then i accidentally closed the app when i had to toggle over to block yet another political bullshit spam call & lost all i typed. so that is my business & personal life in a nice little example of a nutshell 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

so find me & the sanity i have left THIS saturday at @downtowncfpartnership 's nightmare on front st -- one of my favorite local events i have had the privilege of vending each year so far 🔪🎃 buy me a beer in trade of a wax melt 😂 ..just kidding..maybe

i'll have exclusively made halloween nostalgia bags featuring some exclusive made items just for them plus some trick or treat mystery mini bags!
