I was at a fun event yesterday - The Maven Market. The event coordinator was great and those there to help were unbelievable. I hope I get to go back again. It was well worth the disaster.
Here's the disaster. I had the racks and all the boards up on the racks. Just before the guy came over to put up the tent for me, a big gust of wind knocked over 2 of the racks. What a mess! I picked up the racks, picked up the boards, and just shook my head. There was so much jewelry on the ground.
After I got the boards back up and the racks tied to the tent so they wouldn't blow over again, I started to put things back up. One of the boards had a crack in it - still usable thank goodness. Some of the jewelry had broken. I set those aside and then fixed what I could. A bunch of it was a huge tangled mess.
I had a bit of time before the event started so I began to untangle. I was able to get 2 necklaces apart. It took me all day today to get the rest of them untangled. I only had to repair a couple of them, but there is one I can't seem to put back together at all and I have ended up with a couple of extra pieces. Obviously I didn't get everything back together exactly right, but they look just fine to me. Maybe I am a jewelry designer. Gotta be positive about all this.
All's well that ends well.
