Hi Steemit!
I had my first event for MadPotters in Bonsall, CA! It was the "Super Succulent Celebration" at Waterwise Botanicals - complete with succulent celebrities, workshops...and me :D Between making displays last minute (check out @nutinbutdatruth post about how: https://steemit.com/diy/@nutinbutdatruth/reclaimed-display-ladder-build-3-23) and trying to guess how much inventory I needed, its been a really busy week! I wanted to share with you some of the high (and low) lights of the weekend:
*no cactus was harmed during this photo shoot
I had a ton of pots and plants to pair up the day before the show, so I decided to repurpose a Trim Bin as a potting station. Its perfect!! The day is going smoothly until....

I see the USPS man walking up the driveway with a box that could only contain my new MADPOTTERS sign...just in time! Or so I thought. Its an empty box. FUCK!!
Ok, no worries - Day Of. The display tent doesnt look half bad despite the stormy sky.
Here's another stand @nutinbutdatruth whipped up for me. I've got swear pots on the top! Unfortunately, I had to take them down....
But not before a this lovely customer snagged one!
I couldnt resist running around the rose garden with my pots, trying to take enough photos to last me the next month in social media posting, lol.
All in all, I had a great time and I think it went pretty well for our first show! My favorite part was meeting all of the succulent friends Ive gotten to know over social media. I like being able to put a face to a name, even if it is their Instagram one, lol. So... Ill be at the Avocado Festival in Fallbrook, CA next! Hope to see you Sunday, April 15th.
Happy Potting,
Christie
