Psychic Fairs and New Years

The Hawks Nest Psychic Fair came and went on Saturday with about 150 people attending. Some readers were busy and others only had 2 or 3 readings for the day - dissappointing! I think the problem was the day - it was changeover day in town which means many many tourists going home in the morning and many more arriving in the afternoon. I did 8 readings for the day. Lovely!

Having been in business in town for four years I am well aware that traditionally change-over day is very quiet all round so all in all a reasonable response!

It was a great shame the evening show was cancelled! We had a great deal of interest but I think insurance was the biggest hassle - a shame really.

I had a GREAT day at the psychic Fair - I read in new and wonderful ways, I had wonderful people to read for and connected with some dear friends I have not seen for a long time. The energy was lovely in the reading room and an enjoyable day was had by all. We missed you Lisa!

New Years Eve for us was spent packing up one shop and moving it into another! Basically our landlord kicked us out of the shop we were in (it's a long story!) and yesterday morning we rang a real estate agent to enquire about an empty shop in Hawks Nest only to be offered a brand new shop on the Tea Gardens waterfront for UNBELIEVABLEY reasonable rent until the end of the holidays! Chris and I are so grateful and were overwhelmed by the generosity of this wonderful woman that we both cried!

Then when we went to begin to pack the shop we ran into three people and told them what was happening and they offered themselves and their cars to help us move! So what would have been an all day event took us 4 hours to pack up and deliver to the new shop! We then spent another 6 hours unpacking and organising before staggering to the waterfront for a moonlight BBQ ~ because of course there are no lights at the bbq's on the waterfront in tea gardens or hawks nest GRRRRR thank Goddess for the moon and matches to see by!

We thoroughly enjoyed our sausages and onion in bread with a little wine and a splendid veiw of the fireworks over the water - absolutely beoootiful! Then it was home and falling into bed - we did not see midnight but the New Year came anyway!

Up at 5am this morning we had the shop ready to trade by 9am! (because some dingleberry - me - told people we would be, forgetting that Beloved said we could have the day off on NYD! Bugger!)

I did one reading today - lovely - and we sold some of our goodies to lovely people and took enough to cover the first weeks rent YAYAYAYAYAYAY and then closed at 2 pm because it was VERRRYYY quiet - usually is on New Years Day!

This is going to be a wonderful year.

I wish all of you many blessings and much giggling for the year 2007!

And now I am going to have a biiiiiiig snooze - my body feels like it has been through the ringer!

Blessings to you all!
