Know that feeling just before a big event where that big knot sits in the middle of your gut and you imagine the worst that can possibly happen? The night before the pop-up store, I had that big knot and I imagined the worst: what if no one showed up?
Thankfully, there's a wonderful community out there that has been supportive of TykeThreads. Local media picked up the event notice. Twitter friends tweeted and re-tweeted my posts. Facebook friends re-posted my notices and forwarded my invites. Family and friends invited their friends, neighbours and co-workers. After all that worrying, and despite competing with the beautiful sunny weather and the busy Christmas, and Hanukkah season, the event came and went. And people actually showed up! And the ones who did, actually went shopping!
I am absolutely overwhelmed by the support. Thank you so much for visiting our pop-up store, and for the encouragement. As I said a lot that day when I met my customers: "Only moms of boys understand what the store's about."
