Flea Me Please!

BOWS AFFAIR  finally had her first flea on Good Friday 22 April 2011.

After continuous pleas by my 3 minions who were so eager to play shop,I finally caved in.

Had no idea what was in store..

Running a flea is serious hard work.From the planning,to making the merchandise ,to advertising  ,I was one marble short of losing it.

The kids on the other hand were as pleased as punch.All they thought they were gonna do is set up and sell and guard the cash box with their lives.Well as we soon found out it was a different ball game altogether.

Being new to the flea scene we were not as early there to set up as we should have .Well try dragging 3 hyper kids out of the house with a luggage or 2 full of stuff and the trusty stroller and huge diaper bag.

Kids ran and chose a great table or so they thought.Surrounded by other empty tables!To the kids empty tables=immediate playhouses.

After setting up the stuff and all, it was lunch time for my minions so off they went with their father giving me a good 15 minutes of deafening silence and peace.

All fueled up,they were once again ready.

Ryan did an amazing job putting everything in place!I totally left it up to him.Hey..after all this flea was just for them!Looking at his picture here, he is gonna grow to be a dashing young man.

Roy was your adorable flyer hand out guy.He would give a flyer or 10 to someone,stand right next to the person making puppy dog eyes and unwittingly these charmed people would walk with him right back to our little spot.Everyone fell in love with  him as he flashed those dimples of his,helped the customer put their loot into the bag and run to get change!

And lastly Reyna,she was well my...little model.Surprisingly on her best behaviour!We managed to steal a couple of dances to our favourite songs!

I was touched to have so many customers ,friends and family drop by for support.

It is an amazing feeling .Thank you guys..you very well know who you are!

Many of BOWS AFFAIR customers are no longer just customers, they have become much more than that to me..friends!

Thank you all again for making this an unexpected success. We went in with no expectations what so ever.This one was just for my kids.

Ryan ,Roy ,Reyna, I love you all 3 so much!
