happy friday makers + friends 🎉
quick update: TCE will be taking a long break. we have been absent to the market world for a few months now and for good reason. personally, we have a lot going on + if you have been following my sons Chiari journey at all - unfortunately we are back for another round… another surgery and another recovery period. All of that plus our usual spring sport schedule + my tiny ballerina’s first recital in June plus a plethora of other life events! it’s a crazy life we live here in the TCE home ♥️ and my mama brain/heart needs to focus on all of that right now.
however! TCE hasn’t been lost in my world - just has taken a huge step back. my family will always come first ♥️ and once we get through these coming seasons, you bet your bottom I will take time to get my head back in game and come back BIG in the fall.
but for now… thank you all for the past 2 years - it’s been a heck of a ride and we can only hope to be welcomed back with HUGE open arms when we are ready! I hope the spring + summer market season is a GREAT one for ALL! 🫶🏼✌🏼
maker friends: if you are looking for any other event organizers for markets, I would be happy to suggest a few to you! just reach out via DM or email ♥️
popping in to say hi 👋🏼

every maker will have different day of event needs — but there are a few essential items that i have personally found to be a NEED for A L L!
__
a wagon. doesn’t need to be pretty or stacked with all kind of options, just a simple wagon to cart your belongings to + from.
⬆️ game changer.
__
a lock box for cash + other personal belongings. ever been to an event, had to p*e but wasn’t sure if you could trust leaving your cash stacks out… calm all your thoughts, stay organized and p*e in peace 🧘🏼♀️
__
a notebook + pen for any maker who offers custom orders ⬅️ stay prepared + have this handy!
__
payment systems. my personal fav is the square card reader with dock. customers can tap or insert, making payment super simple. a back up option is always great, too! venmo, paypal, zelle or cash. have those QR codes readily available —just in case!
__
battery back up. must must have! for your cellphone or payment systems.
__
snacks + water. a happy hydrated maker keeps the sales coming and the inspiration flowing! and some times us makers don’t get a chance to sneak away to scoop up a meal or cold drink
✌🏼out of office until aug 19th - all messages will be answered when i return 🛳️🏝️
