Orange International Street Fair

Insane. That's how I described my three day weekend event at the Orange International Street Fair. It takes about month for me to prepare for this event, since everything is handmade by only me and you never know how much to make you could sell out in one night, or sell out of a particular item. But of course, I was still making jewelry while people shopped. Ha. The first day is always exhausting. It's set up day. Since I was vending with my friend Melissa Loschy (who by the way is amazing at displays), it only took us about 3-4 hours to set up..haha. We were very sweaty to say the least. We had the same booth as last year which is awesome, since we're right in front of the stage and alcohol. On Friday the event starts at 5pm and It's just a swarm of people. Which is always great for business.
Saturday and Sunday are the exact same, but it starts early at 10am, which still gets packed. There is so many people at this event, we didn't have cell service which sucked, because we couldn't accept credit cards! But thankfully a friend stopped by and lent us his WiFi. So It's safe to say we were the only ones who accepted credit cards at the event. :)

This is what the event looks before we open, and then after.... try going to the bathroom during this time..

This by far the most fun I have vending. I love this event, not just becuase of all it's profits, but get to meet some really cool people and some pretty halarious people. I'm going to have to blog about the history of jewelry and head chains, and slave bracelets. A lot of girls insisted that Head Chains were made up by Khole Kardashian... hahaha.  Which is clearly incorrect.
I seriously cannot wait until next years event and all the crazy that comes with it.

I thought this would be my last event for the year, but I've applied for Patchwork in Culver City for the Holidays so hopefully I'll get to vend there. I've also updated the shop with some new stuff, so check that out!

Back On Blogger

I've decided to come back to blogger because I wanted more intimate platform to blog about my daily updates with By Francis Frank and all the behind the scene action that goes with it.. SO much action! Ha.. It's really just me working 7am-? in my pjs trying to make a name for myself in this ever growing industry and so far so good. :D

on the go go.

It's been a while since I've updated this thing...things have just taken off. I've been completely swamped with halloween orders! F.Y.I Halloween= Glitter Galore. I have seriously never used that much glitter in my life...especially when you're on the go. I have to be mobile for the next couple of months.. from NY,Vegas, to Sacramento..I'm so excited!! But no worries I'll be back and selling at my local spots here in L.A as soon as all this exciting chaos cools down. :p

On another note...There's nothing like feeling great when you know you've been apart of someone's special day...<3
