5-23-2012   Best Olive Oil - Blog

Hi! A good day, a very good day! I am just here, at work, doing what I always do and I am having a good day. :)) All days are good really, just some are so much better than others! LOL

Yesterday, at the Lapeer Market, two good friends of mine and their newborn son (who I am totally Gramma to!) joined me all day. It was beautiful. One forgets after so many years just how teeny tiny a 2 1/2 week old is! Anyway, he is wonderfulwonderfulwonderful and his Mom and Dad has done a very good job so far. No worries for his future!

We did not sell a lot of olive oil yesterday but we talked to many people and many people tasted Carothers Olive Oil, loved it and said, "I'll be back!" 

People! You have NO idea what an "I"ll be back" does to a vendor! LOL Actually, we do not take you seriously anymore and are pleasantly surprised at those who DO come back! Think about it...markets are fun to do and this is what we do...but we are out there all day long working to sell our product (whatever it may be). Much prep' work has gone before this day even to be the best we can be! It is an art. So...next time...just think before you say "I'll be back"...just sayin!  ;)) I never understood this until I became a vendor myself...selling the best olive oil in the world! My firm belief.
I am looking forward to do The Canterbury Village Market again this weekend. I have only been there once so far. It is a totally fun place to hang out. Market. Shop. Lunch it up. Bar it up. so many possibilities!

Blessings and good things coming at you all of the time!  Marie  K
