I just realized that I didn't update this blog all summer-- sorry about that! In my defense, I spent the summer selling at local farmers markets and festivals several days a week. I also picked up a 2nd part time job. The past few months have been incredibly busy, but they've also been constructive. I'm happy to report that I had my best market season since I opened my little crafting business in 2012. Yea!
September 1st marked the official 2 year anniversary of Reprieve's Corner. My little business has had it's ups and downs over the last 24 months, but I've learned a lot along the way. I love the creative freedom that my little business provides. I also enjoy having the opportunity to meet other crafters, small business owners, and create types both online and face to face at different markets. I'm looking forward to my third year in business.
This week marks the official end of the 2014 farmers market season. I have one more outdoor market scheduled. This Wednesday will be the final Coos Bay Farmers Market. Unfortunately, we've had a lot of early winter storms and rainy weather here on the Oregon coast over the past few weeks. Cross your fingers that we get a break in the bad weather in order to enjoy our last market!
With the farmers markets just about over, I've been lining up indoors markets and holiday craft fairs for the rainy winter months. I'll update this blog with more details as I finalize my plans.
In honor of my two year anniversary, I'm offering 10% off all orders from my Etsy store. Simply enter the coupon code "LoveYourShop" when checking out to receive the discount (note: the coupon MUST be entered during checkout for the discount to apply).
I've also been hard at work on a new batch of jewelry. I'm trying to build up my inventory before the holiday shopping season. I'll be photographing and listing the new jewelry over the next few days. Please, feel free to check it out.
As always, thank you for following this blog. Your support of my little crafting business means the world to me. Thank you!
