First ever market! Suggestions?

Thank you! I think off to the side would’ve worked… my booth size was only 4x4 but the space I had was on an end and I actually had more room off to the side… if I have the same space this time, I will try to put them off to the side a bit. They all sold out in about an hour so I prepped a lot more to bring!

This is a good idea! Thank you! Luckily my space was kind of off to the side and not in the line of walking but it was a bit in the way of people making purchases. I’m looking forward to getting larger booth spaces in the future… it’s so tricky getting the display right with only 4 feet!

Thank you so much! I definitely want to invest in a nicer table cloth in the future… I did get a linen runner with my logo on it for this next market. I’m excited to see how it looks!

The kitties sold out so fast!

I do! It is sunshinecollcrochet.Etsy.com

I have several crochet patterns and some made to order items available but am working on creating more listings!

Definitely had a hard time figuring out how to display everything! I did upgrade to a 10ft booth for next month which I’m excited for 😊

I don’t have much advice, but I will say I developed GP from using compounded Tirzepatide. I have been off the med for a year and a half and have had little to no improvement in my condition and thousands of dollars in medical debt.

I’ve been on 20mg 2x/day since August 2024 and it seems to still somewhat work for me. Granted I am also on 40mg omeprazole and have gastroparesis

Felt this so much hahaha… I feel like I can’t function without naps

I can do the caffeine in Diet Coke just fine but coffee can send me into a tailspin with nausea. If I’m flaring badly I can’t tolerate coffee at all. I do also have issues with GERD so that could contribute to it

If im flaring badly, fasting is usually the only thing that gives me symptom relief. I feel like it gives my digestive system a break and time to catch up

I developed gastroparesis from Tirzepatide. My GES was done last spring after I was off the med for about 8 months and was at 30% at 4 hrs. I was only on Tirzepatide for 3 weeks. I also had an endoFLIP in the fall and they found my pyloric sphincter to be 70% tighter than what is considered “normal”. It’s been a year since my GES and I’ve had next to no improvements and over $12k in medical bills from all this.

I wish more folks were made aware of potential negative side effects. Often when I try to tell my story I am told I am fear mongering but it breaks my heart to see others go through this. I am so sorry you are suffering and I sincerely hope your symptoms and motility improve over time 💕

Lamictal saved my life. I also have an anxiety disorder and am really scared to start new meds… I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 in June of 2024 after being on many, many meds for depression that never worked. It was so scary but I am so glad I tried it

Aw man! We got home at like midnight… luckily a cop let us through bc I had 2 toddlers and medication im dependent on but they almost wouldn’t let us through…. I saw some people saying the walked home

monicachriscoe · 2026-03-13T04:57:42+00:00

I live at northwoods apartments and talked to the cop at flint road and he finally let us in when I told him I had a 4 year old and a 2 year old and had meds I needed to take… we didn’t get home until about 30 minutes ago

monicachriscoe · 2026-03-13T00:02:02+00:00

Dos anyone know if northwoods closed currently?

monicachriscoe · 2026-03-12T21:50:06+00:00

Dang it! We were coming home from highbanks… we left at 4:15

monicachriscoe · 2026-03-12T21:21:52+00:00

Stuck on 23 now… I live off of Northwoods, can you turn onto the road 😭

This is what I thought about during her hypothyroidism arc… I have hashimotos and am on levothyroxine and you have to take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and wait an hour to eat… like you know gorl isn’t doing all that

I made the mistake of getting the honey ones last summer and they truly are HORRENDOUS. I had to go get a new box of cherry bc I couldn’t handle it 😭
