*sigh* WalMart bound.

Note to self:  "Self,  never NEVER do small local SCA events again.  Never do Pax.  No more Brass Ring Thing, even if there's an article in the local paper about you.  Also, no more local art & craft fairs.  Just don't do it.  Either they're all teasing you, or no one in this region has ANY disposable income.  By the way, neither do you.  Wasting time and gas on these events is...a waste of time and gas.  That equals a waste of money.  So, y'know, just don't do it."

George Bush has done a great job of strangling the shit out of the middle class.  I'm going to have to get a job at WalMart if this keeps up.  :-(

At least I'm still losing weight.   When all else fails, I can always have the satisfaction of starving myself.  That's not too control-freaky, is it?

Never never never get a job at Walfart!

*tis my secret/not so secret fear too!!! XDDDDD

In the very least, you could make money by putting together a course on how to make this stuff. You just go to a local College or something and talk to them about it.

I seriously think Vancouver would be a great market for you, if you ever decided to come out here and hit some of the local stores. Golden sent me a great link to some kinky stores out here, and I googled some when I was trying to find some Lancelot and Guinevere stuff. Vancouver's expensive, and I could soooooooo see some shops picking up your masks.

*think gay and in costume* lol

Love from the Angel :)

I have a few retail markets that I'm looking into...stuff VERY far from here that won't be as squelched as the local art/gift stores are. It's just...depressing to be working at the level that I am and STILL not being able to sell much locally. I have to give that idea up because it's SO not working.

Oh, I'd LOVE to sell in Vancouver (or Toronto, or really any major Canadian city), but without a broker (expensive) the GST fees and import fees (even MORE expensive) are ridiculous. Otherwise I'd be up in Toronto in a flash. It kills me to visit there (just a little over an hour's drive for me) because there is SO much money & yet I can't get my work up there!
