Your dedication and knowledge are top tier. A wise woman I know says, "If you don't bring it, you can't sell it" 😉 I love these long, behind the scenes, informative videos. You and Ben are the cutest.
My hubby and I used to do shows, and you’re soooo right about lighting…people spend so much time making product and preparing how to display it and lighting becomes an after thought when it should be a major consideration. I enjoy watching your channel, congrats and good luck in the future. I’ll stay tuned.
Ben, you may not know this, but you could have changed the trajectory of that kids life, I know it may not seem that deep, but if he had gotten away with it, it could have become a more frequent thing for him. Thank you for giving him the opportunity to make things right by you and for not making the mom feel like a bad parent.
I just found you today. I love the two of you. And the support he gives you is amazing. I am just beginning to start doing markets/fairs, thanks for the insight on the lighting. I will be ordering those. You give so much useful information. I will definitely be watching you more. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Oh wow, I just checked up on what a jackery is and my husband bought me one of those a few months ago when he saw me charging my little power bank. I better practice using it for all the things so that I know how to at the markets. You both have so many great ideas and reasons for doing things, you really put thought into every aspect of market prep and setup
The jackery is amazing and it’s really easy to use. It’s so sweet your husband got you one. I’m sure you’ll love it. Thank you for your sweet comment 💕
Just thinking that you could buy the clear tarps from Joann ( I use it over my table cloth on my table) that you could place over your items for when it rains.
As a Marylander who hates seafood...we do love our crabs. 😂 Almost as much as we love our flag. If you make crabs in those colors for your MD shows, I think they'd do well. Great vid!
When I saw the ferris wheel and then the beach I thought you where at Ocean City. Such a great place to be when out of tourist season. Right around my husband and my anniversary the weather gets Oh So Great, been that way for like 5 years (married in February) and we've gotten a night or two at Ocean City and just bummed around. It's been great!
I love watching you two and discuss the event from both perspectives 😊 and definitely like your take aways from each event. I really enjoy watching your channel especially when Ruthie Has her special appearance
i really enjoyed watching videos you have pretty cool located you get see the water all the time. i love you setup videos for your craft show think you for awesome videos again
Just discovered yall and love this discussion/recap! Great stories and helps me feel more prepared for my future markets! Do you both crochet/make things?
What a gorgeous location! The red crabs are pretty cute. I was getting mad about that nasty woman with the group of three ladies even though I was not there😂.
I cannot believe how rude some people can be.... I would have been livid with just the fact the woman kept picking stuff up and placing it elsewhere let alone the ear warmer situation. Ugh, some people are such a piece of work....
I am a MAJOR fan also of the Ryobi battery operated fans, lights or even the 150 watt inverter that I run my USB lights off of and am able to charge my square reader, phone etc. I also used my jackery when I was doing hot air balloon festivals, Now I'm disabled and unable to do these events. I once had a grown man steal from me. I guess I should say I make hand made hair bows and when I say I would have 1000's of these at these events it's an understatement!! All handmade by ME and me only! I obviously couldn't take it away from him so I let him know that I personally hoped that the hair bow he stole I hoped wasn't going on a child because Heaven forbid if that child got sick or something bad happened to her I would always wonder if it was Karma paying me back for stealing and putting a stolen item on my child!! THAT made him stop and think!!! Didn't return the item just acted like he didn't know what I was talking about but you could tell he was like what if she's right??? I have a big mouth that I'm shocked hasn't gotten me smacked yet. I witnessed a man stealing a Christmas tree from a home depot lot and I pulled up next to him and said " wow that takes some nerve to steal a Christmas tree and set that up in your home for your family. Did you steal the presents you're putting under it as well? You're kids must be so proud of you"!!
Oh my god. You’re me! I say the same things to people!! 😂😂😂 I had one of the ryobi converters but i found it wasn’t strong enough and the jackery just worked better for what I need
That snarky lady would've caught the smarty-pants version of me that day. When you set up the whole problem, I was like, wait...that still makes it the same price as if you bought two earwarmers and then bought another one. I'm hard-nosed enough that she would've paid me that same price. But situations really do bring out fight or flight responses.
I understand where the woman in the group of 3 is coming from. Absolutely NOT her attitude. But when things are discounted it's almost always buy (insert number) or more and get a discount. (On all items) Just to get them to purchase more items. So, personally, I would do it- buy 1 ear warmer for $20 or two/three or more for $18 each. (Whatever your prices are) It's just a little less confusing for everyone. So sorry she treated you guys poorly 😓
At box stores buy one get one 50% off doesn't apply to 3 you have to buy 4 to get the deal. That's just the way I looked at it. I see where you're coming from though.
Tell them its handmade not imported. Yeah i did crafty markets for years. Gets disheartening. And price of actual stall rental is getting high plus insurance and cost of materials.and all the time you had to go there for.
I really like your videos! But when you don't look at the camera lense, it's really annoying. When I watch, you are looking over my shoulder 😂 instead at me lol
I love how supportive your husband. I think you are so funny and so talented 😂🧶❤
Thank you. Yeah. He’s a keeper
Your dedication and knowledge are top tier. A wise woman I know says, "If you don't bring it, you can't sell it" 😉 I love these long, behind the scenes, informative videos. You and Ben are the cutest.
😂😂😂😂😂 I wonder who that could be 😂😂😂 thanks Viv 💕

Thank you so much for your support. The lighting makes a huge difference and I wish more people thought about it!
Ben, you may not know this, but you could have changed the trajectory of that kids life, I know it may not seem that deep, but if he had gotten away with it, it could have become a more frequent thing for him. Thank you for giving him the opportunity to make things right by you and for not making the mom feel like a bad parent.
Thank you for this comment. 💕 we aren’t parents but it’s really nice to know that we are trying to do the right thing.
I just found you today. I love the two of you. And the support he gives you is amazing. I am just beginning to start doing markets/fairs, thanks for the insight on the lighting.

I’m so glad we could help!💕

Team work makes the dream work

I couldn’t do it without him. Just don’t tell him I said that
So glad you had a good time at Spring fest. Your booth was amazing.
Thank you so much💕
My aunt owns a cutting board company in Maryland. What was the name of the event I would love to send them the information for it.
I love watching you two and discuss the event from both perspectives 😊 and definitely like your take aways from each event. I really enjoy watching your channel especially when Ruthie Has her special appearance
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
😂😂😂yes Ruthie special appearances. We try 😂

Thank you for the positive comments. They mean a lot.
Just discovered yall and love this discussion/recap! Great stories and helps me feel more prepared for my future markets!
Do you both crochet/make things?
Thank you! No only I crochet but Ben makes the eyes.
What a gorgeous location! The red crabs are pretty cute. I was getting mad about that nasty woman with the group of three ladies even though I was not there😂.
Thank you! It was gorgeous!!
That is my new Charlie the Crab pattern!
Yeah. She was. Something else. That’s for sure
13 pages contact! that will take me 3 years to process the information on it. I even has hard time with one page.
I was finally on the lender preferred lists where I live now. Boo hoo, I am moving and need to start again from scratch.
I’m so sorry but it can be done!
pls do a live
If its at beach. Crochet cotton singlet bra style bikini tops would sell.
I watch this on my TV and have you a thumbs up but on my phone it didn't carry over.... 👍🏼
Thank you so much. That’s so cool
Was wondering if there were any other crochet vendors beside you guys>
Great question! There was not. I was the only one!
Only give 5% off then 10%. Nothing bigger. Or price up to start off so not losing
I give nothing off. The price is the price marked 😊
17:07 him in the background 😂
Yup. That’s my man 🤦🏼♀️
I cannot believe how rude some people can be.... I would have been livid with just the fact the woman kept picking stuff up and placing it elsewhere let alone the ear warmer situation. Ugh, some people are such a piece of work....
😂yes they are
Your husband asome
I think I’ll keep him.

I'm hard-nosed enough that she would've paid me that same price. But situations really do bring out fight or flight responses.
I normally would have I think I was just so dumbfounded. I should have just told her to take a hike.
Do these people go to the supermarket and haggle on their groceries is always my question
I'm sure they would try hahaha

@@crochetvisionThat definitely makes sense. Maybe mark the price as a BOGO instead, to limit confusion?
Tell them its handmade not imported. Yeah i did crafty markets for years. Gets disheartening. And price of actual stall rental is getting high plus insurance and cost of materials.and all the time you had to go there for.
Exactly
I really like your videos!
But when you don't look at the camera lense, it's really annoying. When I watch, you are looking over my shoulder 😂 instead at me lol
Yes this was recently brought up to me and I am working to correct it in future videos.
@crochetvision Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Of course!
You are such a lovley person. Please can I ask you not to use the Lord's name in vain.
You should have snatched your things from the snarky woman's hands and said that your things are not for her. I'd have no trouble missing that sale.
You're right. I should have. She didn't even buy them. Her friend did. I was just in such a state of shock
