BACK from ELKHORN FLEA - "SeLLiNg ViNtaGe" During the COVID PANDEMIC...

 SeLLing  ChiPPy-SHaBBy ViNtaGe FiNds At Elkhorn Flea Sept. 2020

~*Mask On...  Mask Off*~ All Day Long...

HaPPy to RePort that about 80% of Customers In-My-Booth, Wore Masks!

~* THaNk YOU ChiPPy-SHaBBy SHoPPeRs *~

Selling My SHaBBies at an outdoor flea during the COVID PANDEMIC, and Not Knowing what I was walking into ~ was the most stressful part...  I can NOW SAY, with ALL the *Safety Precautions* I took, I feel very settled & confident that ALL IS WELL...


~*MaKiNg It SAFE-TO-SELL*~
In-My-Booth

*Set Up OUTDOORS in the breeze!!!

*Arranged my booth layout for quick "in & out" if it got too crowded...

*Checkout Area was well social distanced between writing up my ticket sales in-the-van, along with additional distancing at the check-out table...

 *Customer inserted Credit Card into chip reader with no signature required...

 *After each CASH SALE, I "Lathered-Up" my hands with foaming soap & rinsed them in-a-BUCKET ~ Easily drying them on my tablecloths that were blowing in the breeze!!!  THIS WAS THE BeSt thing I did!!! ~ highly recommend!!!
 
 *Used additional spray hand sanitizer before grabbing anything to eat or drink...

*As for Non-Mask Wearers, if I needed to interact with them, it was "easy" to quickly distance myself from them & still check them out...    



























Due to the Pandemic, I will not be doing any INDOOR HOLIDAY Shows this year
I will continue "Random Postings" on my social media sites...

  I will keep you posted if I decide to do *Porch Pick-Ups* -Or- *Shipping of Items
Like so many other Dealers are doing now!
THIS MIGHT BE FUN!*!*!

*SEPTEMBER* ~"Baked From Scratch"~ PuMPkiN MuFFins!!!

 

I LoVe To Bake!*!*!  Having once owned a small "Bake Shop" in Boulder City Nevada,  ~*Jeanine's Sweet Treats*~

These PuMPkiN MuFFins ~ were a well sort after delight - come FALL...

Back in Nevada, I tossed in "chocolate chips"..

   Here in Wisconsin ~ I Started Adding WHOLE CRANBERRIES!!! 

~*Hot BAKING Tip*~

If your PuMpKin Recipe calls for the addition of "water" - **Substitute Pure Fresh Apple Cider**...   What a difference it makes!*!*!


JuSt LoVe this VINTAGE MUFFIN TIN!!!  ~ Gifted to me from a friend some 20 years ago!!!  Embossed "Hercules US *1943*...  Come to find that this was a U.S. Military Muffin Pan - OMG!!!  I love that it is a little bit deeper than most muffin pan tins!  It also is AMaZiNgly more sturdy/thicker than most pans as well...  

We've ALREADY eaten our way through "This Batch"...  Yum!
