December 24th was an exciting day full of art, music, food, and crafts followed by the annual Nutcracker Holiday Parade in the evening. Despite the rain, it turned out to be a very successful event, sending me home with half my inventory and many new contacts, from event organizers to prospective customers.

Preparing for this event was definitely a challenge, to say the least. I had many news ideas to implement along with product to restock after the event in October. I was also experimenting with holiday decor within my displays to help stage my products as gifts or holiday ornaments. All within less than two months.
