Difficult Decision

I’ve had some thinking to do the past month or so and have come to the decision that I am going to have to close my booth.  It has been almost a year since I opened it and I told myself then that I would give it a year.  As long as it paid its own way in the rent, I would continue.

Unfortunately, it has only paid for itself 6 months out of 12, with the past five months in a row being losses.  In the beginning of January, I asked about moving to a smaller booth because I seemed to be able to at least make the rent for that size.  They haven’t had one come up available and I can’t see realistically {and financially} continuing with it.

It has been a lot of fun and was something I always wanted to try.  I’m glad I at least had the opportunity. I won’t rule out doing it again in the future.  So for now I am doing some makeovers on the bigger things to move them out {because I don’t have room for them at my house} and will probably be bringing the smaller things home to put in my Etsy.

I expect it will be a few more weeks, just so I can try and sell everything I can. It’s a bummer, but it will relieve the stress and anxiety of “will I or won’t I make rent this month”.
