Tough Decisions
15 May 2008 by antigenre
So I’ve decided to pull out of the big street festival that is happening this Sunday in Highland Park, NJ. Late last night, I brought out all the inventory that I had set aside for both this fair and for Art Star Craft Bazaar in Philadelphia at the end of the month. I was absolutely shocked at how little I have prepared. I have just enough for the one-day fair this weekend. The problem is that I’m heading to Toronto for a week fairly soon and, if I were to sell a lot this weekend, would not have the time to replenish my inventory with enough for the much larger, two-day event in Philly. Ugh. Oh well. As I sit here and snack on the $125 entry fee that I have to eat, I leave you with this beautiful beach photograph from RBurnettJr in the hopes that we have lots of warm, sunny weekends coming up.
Oh yeah that hurts - seeing stacks of inventory in your mind and pulling it out to see a small sampling! We all take losses in the game, though, and the trick is to be on top of things enough to be able to decide where to take the losses before you’re caught short, and that you were and that you did!
That is definitely a tough call, here’s to hopes for a successful turn out!
