(or "the party switch that went awry ...")
OK, last week came and I found myself with a full calendar. I had six calendars, and was uncertain where I would fit in another show or craft fair. I was pretty overwhelmed, and stopped making contacts while I managed the shows I already had.
One of them was a Nov. 2 show that is 76 miles from my house. It was part of a party switch with a jewelry consultant, which I frankly was not happy with. I used to SELL jewelry, and there is a reason I don't do it any more.
The Jewelry party is Nov. 7 ... I still have not gotten an invitation or an e-mail.
The jewelry consultant called today ... her son is having surgery the day before her show. So she wants to reschedule for Nov. 16. And since I don't have 7 to 10 people already clamoring to be there ... she talked about the possibility of making them BOTH catalog shows.
I think I just may take her up on that ...
All I could think is a) it's pretty convenient that she has now turned this around to make her party come before mine and b) if I had double-booked this date, I wouldn't have an opening on my calendar!
So ... I hereby repent! I will return to making daily contacts and book my calendar solid!
