Since we moved to Texas I had this little dream to be at Dallas Market --I've contemplated for a couple of years breaking into the wholesale world. Now that I'm designing a lot of my own stuff it's much more feasible to be able to do so I did like I always did and went all in!
The kids were great sports to spend a week with us. Helping with hauling things in and entertaining themselves while I set-up and got everything just right! Linq and Lytzi especially had a great time finding all sorts of freebies and exploring the whole place!
Finally all set up and ready for the next 4 days!
That night the kids talked their dad into taking them to the gym at the hotel!
I had such a good experience, loved the vibe and everything about the Market. I left with connections and lots of knowledge and placed my goods in about 12 different stores across the country. I came home on a high thinking this business might blow up. After working for weeks doing everything I could think of and no success, it came to me clearly that God had always allowed me to be successful -even if that success didn't look the way I imagined. That my purpose in life wasn't to dump all of my energy into this business but to just let it be the hobby/fun money provider that I started it as. I'm grateful for all of the experiences and knowledge I've gained over these past 10 years and the blessing of always finding success and the extra success at the times I really needed it!
I could've spent days exploring --SO much inspiration and amazing displays and products to see! I was in heaven!
Such a great week!
This family of mine was so supportive. Thank heavens for LeGrand who took them out to entertain them a couple of the days.
