So I got all excited to "vend" my resin art, I had been creating for months to prepare for the flea market event my friend invited me to!  Then I was watching Instagram stories and she posted that she will no longer be vending at the flea market.  I now have a TON of inventory.   BAH!   AND my husband had bought me more resin before all this happened.

My family supports the ACS by participating in Relay for Life.  Many side fundraisers are held before the actual relay.  One of the fundraisers is "ride the rails", it's a train ride from one city to the next and back again.  At the starting train depot there was a little vending area, so I set up shop and was only able to sell two items.  I think I wasn't there for enough time, but it was all I could do; I sold a little trinket tray and a letter keychain -- letter "M", maybe for "MORE" or for "MONEY"?  

Resin is a very slow process craft, sometimes it takes more than 24 hours for a piece to cure.  It all depends on the temperature outside.  If you have questions or possible may be interested in this hobby, shoot me a message, let's talk.  If you're interested in purchasing any items, I can ship to you or if you live nearby, we can meet up.   Also, if you're in the bay area and know of any pop-up events, please share the details -- I'd love to be able to sell some of these items.  Especially right now, my husband is out of work, anything helps.  

Here are some pictures of my keychains and my table at the pop-up event.   And a friendly side note, if you have not followed me on IG, please do so now!  "COQUETACREATIVE"










Also, I plan on sewing some fabric trivets soon.  I got my hands on some really cute Otomi fabric.  Otomi is usually an embroidered fabric, but the fabric I have is just with imaging of Otomi animals and patterns.  If you have an inquisitive mind, please look it up on google -- some of the most beautiful patterns I have seen by native people.   

Be Well, 
Ashley
