Oh, what a weekend...

My weekend was wonderful! I didn't have to really work on Friday due to my departments holiday party at Jillian's. It was nice having the day free after the party ended at 3pm-ish. I just went home and made flyer's and tea cup signs for the models for the Saturday show...

Saturday day, Regina and I headed down to the Urban Craft Uprising. Dawn and her family showed up to shop as well. We stopped by and said hello to some of our vendor friends (Tara, Erica, Marlo, Sam, Gunlis...) I bought several Christmas gifts and even a few items for myself. The show has 200 vendors so it's easy to find something for everyone!

Saturday night was the Defmode Midnight Market that UFN has been helping with... Several folks were worried no one show up due to the snow. (Oh yeah, did I mention it started snowing?) Thankfully the snow fall didn't hinder the party being a success. I can only speak for myself but I had a great time, I will assume that Regina did as well (I'm sure she'll blog about it too)! I met so many cool new people (Tim, DJ Snax (AKA Matt), Brad, Karl, Michael, Wesley, David, Gwen, Susan, Rachael, etc... I wish I could name them all, there were just to many of them - they all rocked!!). I was worried I would be exhausted by 2am since I tend to hit the hay by midnight... I survived!

The evening was packed full of vendors selling, patrons shopping, partying, art work, drinking, DJ's spinning tunes, a fashion show, the infamous photo booth, and lots of fun.


We, of course, had several pictures taken from Liminist.com, which should be up on their site soon. I can't wait to see them as we had some pretty funny one's taken with lots of people!

I added some pictures from Defmode, check them out.

This morning I woke up (it was quite a struggle, I tell ya what...) and headed to Shilshole Bay Beach Club for the Ladies Who Launch Holiday Show. The show went pretty well considering the dreary weather. I sold a few items and did some valuable networking, which is always a nice thing! Here are the photos from that show!

Hope you had a good weekend too - what did you end up doing?

"You can't even spell OLD SKOOL!"

This weekend was quite a busy one... Urban Fashion Network participated in the Crave show for the first time ever. I even setup my jewelry, which was a first for me in regards to Crave as well. We had 18 vendors there under our UFN umbrella. Everything seemed to go well for the most part. We had some space issues at first but Melody of Crave was kind enough to let us expand into another 1/2 space. So we were able to spread out a bit more and give the vendors more room to sit. To see who was in the show with us go here. I also took picts at the show, they are here.

Saturdays show started out pretty slow, had a little spike in the middle of the day and then slowly died off... I wandered around a bit passing out flyer's and checking the place out. There was ALOT to do. I had my eye brows waxed for $15 (normal rate, tasted some gourmet food, sampled chocolate, drank Twist water, drank Dry Soda, tried to get a psychic reading but there was a line, shopped from many vendors, had our picture taken in the Liminist booth, watched some yoga classes, and much more...

One highlight for me was 92.5 was there and I had called a few days before to see if they'd be giving away houseparty tickets - they said yes. So I made sure to stop down there and see when. 3pm Kim told me... My cell phone alarm went off at 2:50 and I ran down there. I was the only one there until about 2:59... These women came down and I joked and said oh no, I was here first, there my tickets!! Then one of the women replied "Honey, you can't even spell old skool! and the other woman said "take off the diapers!" - yeah, it was on!! (HAHA) We went back and forth and then it came time to the questions... WE all missed the first one, I got the next one, then they asked me to stick around to help them... I gave them both the answers to their questions... Who can't spell old skool!!! I was just so excited I won tickets, I have been trying for weeks.

That night Regina, Melody and Melissa and I hit up the Emerald Queen Casino for a little Rick Springfield concert... Sadly, it was not the best show I have seen. It was my 3rd time seeing him and for $57 (way to expensive for where we sat if you ask me) I can't say I was impressed. He did some guitar solo that went on forever and then some bluesy riff and song that just didn't seem to fit... I want to hear the classics, re-live the old days, ya know... He did play the old favorites thankfully. He looked great!! Emerald Queen is not a location I like at all. After we left I forgot my coat and about 5 min later I realized it and went back - it was gone. No one has turned it in as of yesterday. I can't believe someone stole my coat. What a horrible person to steal someones coat - you know I need it! I took a few illegal picts, apparently you are not allowed but I was stealthy! I had to hold the camera up against my chest so the screen could not be seen, hence the lovely images of some ladies head...

Sundays show was busy up until about lunch and then it slowly died off through the day. I didn't sell anything all day long. All the vendors started packing up at about 5:20 but we decided since we organized all of this that we should wait and be last, you know that whole be an example type of dealio. Thank God I did wait with my jewelry b/c I had 2 large sales at 6:00ish. They made the whole weekend for me, especially b/c I had made 2 not so small purchases at the show.

I'll post some pictures tonight and hopefully can add some of our silly photos from the Liminist booth as well.

Hope you had a great weekend!
