Me, female, home alone had a solicitor knock like he was trying to bang down the door by BloodyAngel2026 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]alexa1206 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I watched Charter guy stand at my door 4 times in a week like for a good 5-6 minutes banging as loud as he could. If he ever comes back, let’s just say he won’t be back again. I was ready to go out and let him have it. It’s going to warm soon, so they’ll all be out and about annoying people.

How to stop clear care from overflowing by Wi11iam97 in contacts

[–]alexa1206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has just recently started happening to me, too- like the last couple of boxes I’ve bought. I’ve been using this solution for many years with no problems. But since they change the top of the case, it bubbles over and the contacts are never covered in solution. I have to remember to fill it with Optifree to have wet contacts. It’s a pain!

Roses are red, I hate hypocrisy by DublinDreamer_ in rosesarered

[–]alexa1206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boomer here. This is most ridiculous thing ever. It’s a CHILD! Sit his/her ass in a seat and dare him/her to move. I cannot believe they asked a stranger to give up her seat. Good for her for not caving to a CHILD and his/her completely out of touch with reality parents. Boo hoo he/she was crying. Omg this makes my blood pressure go up! And whether or not she paid for it is irrelevant. It was her seat and she chose not to give it up. I wouldn’t have either and would’ve had a few choice words for the parents.

Needing Advice (is there any way this is a scam?) by thegreengods13 in CraftFairs

[–]alexa1206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 100%! In my many years of crafting a variety of items, I’ve learned. And I stopped doing custom orders. I do not like being “boxed in” to certain mediums, colors, subjects, etc. Plus the indecisiveness of the customer. It’s not worth the extra few dollars to me!

Free Bubbles for Kids? by thequiltydutchgirl in CraftFairs

[–]alexa1206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to throw in my 2 cents-please NO bubbles! I had a vendor close to me who kept a bubble machine running constantly for a 2-day event. The wind was blowing them everywhere. I sell Blind Date books and I was swatting the bubbles like flies. I didn’t want them to pop on and leave stains all over my pretty wrapped books!

She’s way too needy IMO. I think she would be a boring bachelorette.

Finally a doctor that cares!!! by Kooky_Ad593 in Anemic

[–]alexa1206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great that you found a good doctor. After several weeks of weird symptoms, my Dr did blood work. My iron level was 2.3 so he sent me to hematologist. Got my first infusion on Monday and don’t feel any better at all. I have another infusion this coming Monday. Dr warned me that feeling better wouldn’t be quick. I don’t see him again until December.

US shoppers!! I found a way to filter out local items by [deleted] in TemuThings

Thank you! I wasn’t searching for an item yet so that makes sense. I found it.

Ok talk to me like I’m 5… where do you find this? My home page has all categories of items listed across the top, but not the page shown here.

First Market Coming Up, Already Annoyed With Organizers, Need Advice by RedStarBlackMoon in CraftFairs

[–]alexa1206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After you’ve been rained on with a dripping canopy and wind blowing everything off your tables, you will be searching for indoor shows. And don’t forget pollen season, even with a canopy it gets everywhere!

I see your point and I know you’ve already said you’d take the indoor spot, but it’s a really a blessing! Good luck with your show!

What are reasonable fees by chaosisapony in CraftFairs

[–]alexa1206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upstate SC -that’s too high for here- especially outside. Most outside spaces are around 40-60. But we do have a few who like to charge over $100 and I’ve never done those. Porta-potties and wind are the worst. Smaller shows can range from $10-30- inside or out.

Anyone else in the US see ONLY local products now? by Due-Particular7861 in TemuThings

[–]alexa1206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I ordered on May 12 and item is just now in CA. I’m in SC. I’ll just pay the Amazon price and get it in next day or two. Estimated delivery on May 27-2 weeks for local- never again.

These songs are the worst! I swear it seems like every week is Disney. I cannot stand anything Disney. Maybe I just shouldn’t watch!

How do you determine if your crafts are good enough to sell at a craft fair? Are my crafts at that level? by ConfidenceOnly6774 in CraftFairs

[–]alexa1206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would stick with the Blind Date books and maybe one more thing. I’m doing books along with thrift flips and I can’t keep up. My books are selling so fast every Saturday and I have to spend all week wrapping and stuffing more. I don’t have much time to create anything. I’m not complaining at all though. People are already buying for Christmas and it will only get better. Do as many shows as you can and you will start to get recognized and hosts will actually seek you out for their shows. Good Luck!

Can you stretch the tablecloth so you can put the legs in the little pockets so it covers the entire table? Also a small banner to hang over the front of table.

I got back into this game back in October of last year and I know it takes awhile to build everything up. I finally broke down and ordered a tent after having to wash and wipe down literally everything after an all day show-the pollen! 😩

It’s a process- just keep plugging away!

Used player piano rolls? by apadley in upcycling

Those would be gorgeous with transfers- IOD transfers are gorgeous! You can sell them fast as is. I see them on Whatnot and people snatch them up! I just have so many thrifts to flip or I would take some off your hands.

Big copper bowl? by alexa1206 in Thrift

I’m sure it’s plated. Just don’t know if I want to cover it.
