maybe next year.

i've been holding my breath about a couple of major central indiana craft shows -- the bloomington handmade market and the indieana handicraft exchange. it's no secret that i would absolutely love to participate in an event like this...i've probably mentioned them in the majority of my posts here. oopsies!

i heard back from the BHM, and, unfortunately, i won't have a spot this year. i'm not gonna lie; i was pretty bummed. it's hard when you get your hopes up about something and it doesn't work out. i take things personally, and it's hard not to when the matter at hand is something you've created -- something that is personal to you.

but i've realized that it's ok. not everyone can make the team. not everyone can get the job. not everyone can have a booth at a hip craft fair. you win some, you lose some, and life goes on! i have been trying to focus on the positive and be thankful for all of the great things Hair Treasures has brought my way in the past seven-ish months. i'm still crossing my fingers for the IHE, but i know that i will be ok either way, and there's always next year.

things like this are what really matter:
