Mode Merr and the SOWA Open Market

Good Morning, Dear Readers,
  
    Yesterday, I had the pleasure of spending the entire day with Angela (and 2 of her friends) at SOWA Open Market at the Mode Merr booth. It was the first time that Mode Merr was at SOWA. For being rookies at SOWA, business was pretty good. 

Mode Merr Booth at SOWA

   It was a hot and sunny day, unusual for October. The Mode Merr booth was located directly across from the Roxy food truck, which made for a lot of wonderful smells floating by. The shop was set up with the ever popular bargain bin section. (Everything for $20 and organized by size.) As well as 2 racks of clothing from the new Fall line. We did a lot of chit-chatting with patrons and even more people watching. There was even the added bonus of running into a High School friend and her family. <3

  The best part of our day was helping gals of all shapes and sizes find clothes that fit their particular body types. We sold sizes xs to xxxl. It's very rewarding to assist women find the right fit for them and answer all their questions (and maybe concerns) about fabrics, fits and care of their new purchases. Some ladies even stepped outside their comfort zones and holding their new purchases told us, "I don't own anything like this!"

   Probably the funniest thing that happened is an older lady came by to search through our bargain bins. Suddenly, she tipped over what looked like a child's sippy cup (you know, the kind with the bendy straw). It fell on the ground and she hurriedly picked it up and scampered off. About a minute later we knew why. The odor of cheap booze started to permeate the air around us. The reaction was a combination of giggles accompanied with feeling bad for the lady who obviously has a problem. 

$20 Bargain Bins. Wildly Successful!

  Next weekend, Sunday the 16th, Angela will not be at SOWA. She will be at TT the Bear's Place from 11 am to 4 pm. Even though we had great sales at SOWA, there are still tons of great clothes to buy and we will still have $20 bargain bins filled with clothes.

Here I am in the booth, staying cool with my parasol.

   Angela and I will be back at SOWA on Sunday, October 30th. It is the last day of the season for SOWA, so come visit us!


  Until next time. <3
