Yesterday’s sale was another surprise! Just like the previous days, I had absolutely no sales. So once again, I had to turn to Michele Plunge for good luck. Then, it started getting worse as no one bought anything at all, marking it the first time I was going to get completely shut out. Just when… Continue reading “Celebrate Summer” Sale (Day 5/First Half Recap)
