    April, your booth display was fabulous, and having it full of all those colorful items what a great selection with many items to look at I'm sure that attracted a lot of people! As for your neighbors, report them!!! They need to know about this situation so it doesn't happen again.
    Happy birthday to your mom, the cupcake for your mom was so sweet. Hope you have a very blessed day!

    I love your attitude about duplicate vendors. You are one of a kind. Actually there’s a couple of vendors I follow that share your thoughts and praises to others selling what you sell. You have a full and awesome inventory setup. Congrats. Now for your neighbor, you definitely should have spoken out for yourself. Maybe ask the coordinator if there’s an alcohol policy, because of your experience. Good luck!

    Oh, man. I'm so sorry your neighbor was obnoxious and handsy…so wrong! I had a lady at a big box store who always singled my husband out and made him feel weird, but he didn't want to be rude, so I was rude when she reached out to hug him. Girl, I thought I was gonna have to take my earrings off. 😆 I would let the coordinator know. Hope your next market is better!

    Your set up was great. So much work!
    I experienced a similar thing at indoor market. Not the drinking stuff, more the car salesmen stuff. It was a smaller venue and these people were the first booth. They were
    loud and aggressive with customers. The kind where it as hard to even get out of their booth. When it was slow, they would pull costumers away from other booths. I saw that happen more than once.
    I am glad you did well at your first fall market this season. Good luck going forward this year!

    • @thecozybuckeye
      @thecozybuckeye  Місяць тому

I, too, have a tendency to freeze in awkward situations instead of speaking up. Luckily, these things haven't happened to me often, but I am determined to stand up for myself if it does.

      Thank you so much for the feedback and the birthday wishes for my mom. In the future I plan to stand up for myself if it happens again. I did freeze because it was a surprise. It's disgusting how he was nice though and I think that's what is surprising when someone like that invades your space.

    I’m sorry to hear about your rude neighbors. That is something no one should have to put up with. You should definitely tell the coordinators. At the very least, they could tell vendors no alcohol use at future markets.
    Glad it was successful tho…and I look forward to your next one! 🥰

    I'm very sorry that you suffered the indignity of having a creep for a neighbor. I'm sure the event coordinator would appreciated a word from you. Please tell them. What this man did is not okay.

    I think your booth set up is fabulous. The video from the go pro was fun, with the jellyfish “dancing” to your background music 😊. I like the way you support fellow crocheters. Personally, I don’t like confrontation either, but I do think you should report that vendor couple to the coordinator, the drinking and his behavior were totally inappropriate. I’m glad to hear Rahjah was doing well the days you filmed this video!

    Great wrap up! Love seeing your booth. I’m intrigued by the net. 😮 Would love your opinion- would the net work to display to loveys? Also wondering how you attach it to your booth.
    Love how you support and encourage other artists too.
    And yes, that man was 💯 out of line! Even if he was selling alcohol, not cool to do that and be sloppy all day.
    Looking forward to future videos. You clearly take a lot of time and care to capture so much footage and edit it. Much appreciated.❤

    • @thecozybuckeye
      @thecozybuckeye  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you so much for all of the feedback. I really do appreciate that. As far as the nets, I bought "S" hooks that I hang the nets on and yes you could hang the loveys on them too. I bought laundry clips for the loveys which I show in one of my videos. But you could also use clothes pins which is how I display the hats. Maybe I will talk more about it in a future video.

    Your set-up was fantastic, I can see that you have engaged people who walk by with those corner display nooks but enticed people to enter your crochet wonderland.
    The net wall is a perfect solution to those heavy grid walls.
    I've got a big 2-day indoor event for Christmas and I'm thinking of all display ideas, it's only a 6.5 x 6.5 space so I definitely need vertical display ideas.
    If you encounter someone like that again, you go straight to the coordinators and let them deal with it.
    For your personal safety, that is hard to say because each circumstance would be different, I also am not confrontational but sometimes not engaging with people is better than being a nice neighbour vendor especially when your initial impression was bad

    • @thecozybuckeye
      @thecozybuckeye  Місяць тому

      I have put a lot of energy into my set up over the years and am already tweaking it for the next market, lol. I can't help myself. Small spaces are so hard, but grid walls are so nice and shelves. I learned a hack for cube shelving; by using zip ties ahead of time so they will lay flat in the car, but once you get to the market you only need a few zip ties to make the cubes. I might talk about it this week.
      As far as handsy, I was just shocked. It's just disgusting and unfortunate. I will be emailing the coordinator. Thank you so much for your comment and your support.

    Report this vendor, the more he gets away, the more he will try! And he probably scared people away from your booth and others! Next time you could start to back away and hold up your hands and say whoa! excuse me but I don't know you. I feel more comfortable talking to people when they respect my space! I know this works, I have used it throughout my life. I think it was fun to watch your show! I would definitely have to have help just for bathroom breaks!

    I have a suggestion for your set up. I noticed people waiting at the “door” to enter and I’m wondering if that kept some people from shopping your booth because they didn’t want to “wait”. Perhaps your opening should be wider? I’m not criticizing, just an observation. I was amazed at your inventory. Amazing!!

I bought 2 of them and I do love hanging the hats on them, but I only have a minivan to haul in so I have to work with what I can. Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate you.

    I absolutely love your hats! What size hook do you use when doubling up on the yarn for your hat base, if you don’t mind me asking? As for Handsy McGee, report him, he could be worse next time, and I’m sure the market coordinator wouldn’t want to take a chance like that. Happy Birthday to your mom!

    Hello new sub from Ontario Canada. I'm a bit older than you I'm guessing and used to do markets. Love your products and commentary. I would absolutely tell the organizers about your experience to save another vendor in the future having to put up with that crap. It's so hard as a women being taken by surprise like that and having to think on the spot as to how to handle those kinds of situations. The only constructive critique I observed was that the entrance to your tent was narrow therefore I noticed people stopping then passing by when the entrance was blocked. I've tried to find that chick on a swing pattern doing Google searches but none of them look like yours. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents. 😊Wishing you a successful season this year. - Roxanne

      Hey Roxanne and welcome here. I'm glad you joined in! Thank you so much for all the feedback & well wishes. I agree with the narrow opening of my tent and I'm already tweaking it for my market this weekend, lol. It's still a work in progress after 12 years. I am def going to talk with the coordinator for future vendors as no one should have to deal with drunk idiots. The funny thing is if my husband would have been there that would've never happened. As far as the chick on the swing. I bought 2 patterns and meshed them. The bird is the Mini Flockers pattern by KnotsbyJak and the swing is from a pattern called Bee on a Swing by @close.kit.crochet. Both were purchased on Etsy. Hope that helps. You may be able to find a free swing pattern on Instagram.

    Of course it is NOT acceptable what happened to you. I would absolutely have told him to keep his hands off me. And if his conduct throughout the day was so obnoxious (due to his drinking or not), I think I would inform the organization. Especially the drinking would not be combined with working. Really bad.

    You should 100% report this loud obnoxious vender to be honest if I was going to your booth and I heard someone like him I would have kept going. I have spent too much time in my life around people like this and I avoid them like the plague. You should definitely say something bold and loud if someone ever touches you without permission again. Who cares what the person thinks of you those who matter will support and be proud. I have definitely allowed this to happen to me and I am learning.

    Sometimes I find it so hard for us (as women) to stand up for ourselves for whatever reason. Maybe there is a way that we could finesse the situation to not be too confrontational and elevate any alcohol aggression that could possibly occur.

    Oh so awful you were touched by that man. Alcohol has been a negative part of my life. An alcoholic father husband, and drinking has been a Prob for my kids. I was so disgusted by it I do not drink. I would never want to be so out of control, or such a spectacle for others to see. I know it's hard to stand up for yourself when you dislike confrontation. So think of something simple like a loud. "STOP" as a planned thing. If other people are around they will come to your defence. A loud voice will probably make them step back, and you'll feel better. Do talk to the coordinator. They should have standards for behavior so THEY don't look bad.
