As you all know yesterday was the Bank Muscat Charity Fair which i have been on about since last month, it finally happened yesterday and i had a blast!

We were told to be there by 4pm to set up our tables before people start arriving at 5pm. I was given a table at the end of a line leading to no where lol next to a lady selling lots of scarves and another offering her services to help you set up buffet for invitations she provides the cultery and arranges the buffet, you have  to provide the food. She ended up being my first customer :)

Anyway so i was placed next to nothing related to bags or accessories they were all on the other side of the football field lol so i start setting up the table and noticed that i was sort of unprepared for this i had no idea how i was going to arrange my organisers …. anyway i looked around other tables and saw that some ladies had brought with them colourful table clothes as opposed to the white ones provided (point taken for next time).

This is how i ended up arranging the table

The football field was filled with tables and there were lots of women setting up thier tables. Unfortunately i wasnt able to go around and have a look at what was on sale for obvious reasons (lesson learnt here defintely going to have someone with me next time, so i can browse lol).

By 5 the place started to fill up and i made my first sale!! was really estactic and thought this is going to be a breeze lol well i have to be honest i did get lots of compliments saying that this was different, original, practial and creative but 6 RO was very expensive!!  i was so not expecting that but anyhow everyone is entitled to thier opinions.

Having said that i am pleased to say that i sold exactly half of the purse organisers, have a couple of customised orders and some business card holder orders too, which is great :)

So a big thanks to all thoes who stopped by and bought organisers. I met lovely ladies who follow my blog and told me that they enjoy reading it thank you ladies you know who you are :) I also got to meet Mei Suwaid from Mei and Nihad Mohammed from Dollz which are two very talented Omani ladies.  A couple of old friends of mine Sara and Mariam stopped by which was really nice, when we were younger we used to always hang out. It was so good seeing them after such a long time naturally they bought organisers ;)

A special thanks to my husband and my mother for giving me support and looking after the kids while i took care of business :)

Overall it was a wonderful experience,  got to meet loads of people. I thank Bank Muscat for making it happen and i look forward to participating in simliar events in the future.

I got back from the Fair about an hour ago and my feet are aching (from all the standing) and my cheecks from all the smiling. I had so much fun and met lots of wonderful people.

It was so funny ladies would come upto to me and know all about me, or call my name! and these thoughts go through my mind (in italics)

hmmm do i know her?

she looks familiar, but i cant recall how i know her … i cant seem to remember her first sign of aging forgetfulness

and then they would ask about the girls Hadeel and Dania so then these thoughts go through my mind

ohh maybe they know my husband

or my mum (she constantly talks about her grandkids)

then finally they give my brain a rest and say i know you through you blog!! and saw your pics on facebook.

oooh my blog lol who knew lol….. i just didnt realise that so many people actually read my blog :) so thank you all for your support it was lovely meeting you all.

I am heading off to bed now and will defintely update you guys on how it went after a good night sleep :)

The fair is tomorrow yay and i am all set for it.

I noticed that Bank Muscat has done a great job adveritising the event, sending mass sms and when i went to draw some money at thier Muscat city centre branch i noticed the atm machine each had a flyer!

So as you can imagine i am really excited about tomorrow i hope it all goes well. My whole family is coming to support me (my husband, my girls, my niece, my mother, my sister in laws) I am really blessed alhamdulilah :)

I didnt manage to make 100 as planned i only managed to make 50 organisers. I will have a list were customers can register themselves to be on the mailing list to be updatedof new  products and another list to place an order.

So i look forward to seeing you there,please stop by and say hello when you see me although i know you have no idea what i look like i will be easy to find, as i will be the only lady selling organisers!

See you soon
