No, it was not a joke. I really had to get up at 06:30 last Sunday morning on April 1. The agenda for the morning was to try and sell my products at the Swedish pancake breakfast at the Swedish Cultural Center in Seattle. Luckily I had my dear friend P with me to help me and to keep me company.
As soon as we arrived, we set the table up and put all the products out for display. I had brought Easter eggs, candy, blankets, clogs, and different kinds of home decor products. P and I soon realized that people were more interested in eating pancakes than buying products from "made in bohuslän." Since our table was placed near the door, we soon became very cold from draft through the door as people were coming and going. In fact, we began to shiver and had to put our coats on. P managed to get us some hot drinks which helped a little.
Around 1 pm, we decided that it was time to pack up. We sold a few eggs and a blanket, so I guess it was better than nothing. It was definitely an experience for me as I have just started this journey of having my own retail business.
And it feel so good to get into the warmth of the car, and had back home.
Thanks P for helping me and for keeping the spirits up in the chilly realm of pancakes, ham, jam, and whipped cream.
