I mentioned briefly last month that I had been approved for a table at
PICNIC music & arts festival on September 12th, 2009, but haven't said anymore about it. I'd like to give a huge THANKS to everyone who came, said hi, and supported Grandma June. I had such a blast! I've worked many festivals, arts & craft shows, etc. in the past, but this was the first time I did it for MY business. And man, let me tell you, it is so cool being your own boss. I spent many hours of many days preparing for this event (going through items, pricing, organizing), and I'm really happy so many of you came to my table, and checked everything out! If you missed it (I know, it was raining, I don't blame you... that much), here are some PHOTOS!
Here I am the night before PICNIC, in my bedroom, acting kinda frantic, pricing clothes.
A wide view of my shop! I had a bargain bin, a huge rack of vintage, a shelving unit dedicated entirely to shoes, and a shelving unit mostly just for purses/clutches. Plus great stuff sitting on the table including earrings and scarves! A lot of the stuff that didn't sell should be posted on
my etsy site soon. (Including that gorgeous pale pink dress you can see at the end of the clothing rack!)
Here's a closer view of the vintage! And my clothing tags! On the front was the Grandma June logo, and on the back I hand-wrote the size and price. I used a pale peach ribbon, and little gold safety pins to attach the tags to the garments.
Customers!
I put this picture of Grandma June next to me at the table to show who my fashion inspiration is! Gotta give PROPS!

And I know I've been saying this for a little while, but I MEAN IT... New vintage coming to
the shop SOON. I did a photo shoot just this afternoon! Now I just have to take measurements, and crop the photos. Keep an eye out!
