That's great ....

No show I've ever had at my house has ever worked out. I've had some people who live in the area that my church is in and some people who live where I work tell me that my house is too far away from them. Hello? It's a 30 minute drive at max! I drive that far daily! And there is no way that I can have a show that is any closer to either of them!
 
love the idea, and thanks for the update!
 
So happy things turned out well for you!!! Congratulations! :)
 
Mine is 2 weeks from Saturday and I sent an email invite today to all my email contacts, and started stuffing envelopes today. All my vendors are excited, I hope they spread their excitement to their customers too. I am keeping my fingers crossed for huge success!!!I was worried about space but realized I could use the front deck to put tables & chairs for people to sit on. I wish I had one of those outside heaters or I am hoping our warm wave will stay around a few more weeks. You never know in our area.

Good luck with it Amanda! I had some people standing. I wasn't expecting so many people to be there at once. They didn't care. They just stood and visited and were happy.
 
Congratulations that is awesome!

I'm having my host/preferred customer appreciation party in two weeks. I have so far 7
people coming and that is just from the postcards I sent out telling people to save the date. All of the invite's went out yesterday in the mail. Can't wait to see what this weekend brings. :)
