The dread that hit me when I opened my storage tubs and realized my entire collection of beaded earrings was sitting safely on my desk at home is an absolute feeling I could have lived without.
I’d skipped my usual routine of packing the car the night before, because it was raining. Thinking I’ll just do it in the morning instead.
In the scatterbrained rush out the house, tossing bins into the back without checking inventory lists or double-checking the essentials.
Arriving at the market with an empty display board and zero earring stock is a special kind of panic.
Cue husband and kids to save the day!
Lesson painfully learned: will it happen again - absolutely 😂
