Taking the show on the road - once again!
I took a break during the worldwide health crisis and I resumed vending at a couple of small events last fall 2022. I re-discovered how much I missed interfacing with YOU the customer. So this past spring I decided to hit the ground running in 2023, build some new relationships and just simply get back out there!
Most recently I decided to revamp my vending setup so I could display more soap bars, get the hats and socks in a better place for the customers to easily browse, and make the whole setup more compact in the back of my SUV. More stock in a smaller space is no small challenge. So far the switch is working out. Although, I will probably refine the layout a bit as I see how the flow works out.
I'm just coming out of a backlog of custom orders. As of writing this everyone's items are either picked up or ready to ship. Watch that change in 5 minutes! Haha. I appreciate everyone's patience. Orders for batik hoodies especially take awhile because after soaking in soda ash, the hoodie has to dry completely before the design is sketched and the wax can be applied. This can take anywhere from a 5-8 days to air dry depending on the conditions.
I just wanted to share a few of my recent favorites.
Custom order Batik-ed hoodie for Euro Auto Sport in Chantilly, VA ( One of several!)
Custom order - A rainbow batik-ed hoodie with a horse design on the back. This hoodie has a zip front. Online customer.
Custom order - A rainbow peace sign on black hand tie dyed tee. Local customer.
