Our First Show!!

We booked a show for the Chocolate business!! We went to the EMS office building to pick up paperwork and general administration. There were signs all over the building about a Christmas in July Bazaar and the vendors were Longaberger Baskets, Silpada, Pampered Chef, Mary Kay and more .... These people needed chocolate.

We called the organizer and they were booked for this show. Bummer! It was a free show. Jessie explains that Amy works for EMS (right there in their building) and we bring Chocolate. She says she'll see what she can do. So here we are planning our first show!!

We are trying to decide what to put in the door prize basket. How to set up the table. Do we want to sell any "cash and carry"? If so, what would that be. Also, our starter kit had no tablecloth and the apron is an oilcloth horror that doesn't work for me. I'm no Tim Gunn and I cannot make that work.

Jessie is off to Gabriel Brothers where (whoopee!) a $7.99 full size chocolate colored tablecloth. Perfect for a 6' table. 4 yards of fabrics, trim and sewing machine and voila 2 aprons.

Surprise when we set up the table and opened the Brownie Kit. This thing is phat! Even I (Amy) could make brownies with this! It has Wilton cupcake wrappers, frosting, 3 bars of premium milk chocolate (I could stop there). Okay, now Jessie and I are debating, "is it milk or dark chocolate"? Who cares it's three bars of chocolate. Oh and the brownie mix. So we take a picture of the kit. I guess this is where product knowledge matters.

The table is pretty. We do a run through of a party and boy are we bad!!! We've got a lot of work to do. But hey, we booked a show!!!
