Selling yarn hats at a punk market ð ãã³ã¯ããŒã±ããã§æ¯ç³žã®åžœåã売ã

This past weekend we joined a 2 day flea market at a kind of alternative space. Youâd best understand it as an independent music venue with couches where punks and weirdos like us hang out and hold events sometimes.

We werenât quite sure what to expect as we have been there a few times for movie showings and concerts but couldnât imagine people buying things there.
We werenât expecting to earn any money, just to reconnect with some old friends who we hadnât seen in a year or two. We knew people would be jamming and talking so we thought weâd just hang out and maybe sell a coin wallet or two for a total of $30.

Well, we sold a coin wallet or two, and 5 or 6 hats and came out of the event with about $250! While not a massive success for an ideal two day event, it was far better than we expected.
Since it was a fundraising event and the venue told us the shop fee was pay-what-you-want, we gave about $50. It made me happy to see that our hats, though a bit cute were welcome even in this kind of grungy punk environment.
One of our goals is to be a bridge between different communities, so, I guess mission accomplished. Progress made on that front.
We also ended up meeting a bunch of new people as we do every time we go there. I got to jam on bass for a while which Iâve never done before. I really need to practice my scales.

B made 5 new hats during the event and replenished her stock and 2 acquaintanceâs from a live music chat group came to hang out. It was fun watching her accidentally attract a group of introverted people and being the most outgoing among them because usually she is the introverted one.

These are two of the hats she sold. The first one she had made just a few days before and was bought by a lovely stranger. The second she had made about 3 months ago, intending for me to wear it but after I tried it we realized that despite my desire for crazy colors, the simpler Oni hat fit my personality way better.

We will have one or two flea markets in local areas we are familiar with in March and focus the rest of the month on building up an online store. Then in April we will join a market at a campsite concert, which Iâm ultra excited about because itâs a band I really like:

I guess I did well by applying to this. I never thought itâd be so easy, but I guess I was the early bird here.
Progress towards our physical store:
$2000 out of $25,000
8% to our goal!
If you are interested in our hats or wallets you can check Instagram for now. I will post a catalogue of new hats starting the beginning of next month!
