๐ง๏ธ Well today definitely didn't go to plan ๐
What started as an absolutely beautiful Day 2 at the Float River Festival very quickly turned into something we weren't expecting ๐ฅบ.
The sun was shining, it was hot, we were all set up and having the best time. We knew the wind was coming, we prepared for it and weighted everything down but then the storm hit FAST and HARD ๐ง๏ธ๐จ.
Within minutes our entire stall was turned upside down. Tables flipped, cups broke, stock, displays and jewellery went flying, everything was soaked and my marquee was damaged ๐ญ.
One minute we were having the best time and the next we were desperately trying to hold our marquee down and save whatever we could.
Honestly, I'm absolutely gutted so much time, work and preparation went into this weekend.
Unfortunately, we were meant to return tomorrow, but with damaged stock, a damaged marquee and everything needing to be dried out, Bella & Bro Creations won't be returning for the final day.
A massive THANK YOU to the complete strangers who jumped in to help us when everything went flying. You have no idea how much that meant.
And Chontelle thank you ๐ซถ We're both devastated with how our weekend ended, but I'm so bloody grateful I had you there beside me through the absolute chaos ๐ญ.
Tonight we'll dry everything out, assess the damage and clean up the absolute mess.
And finally, thank you to everyone who visited and supported Bella & Bro Creations at the Float River Festival over the last 2 days. Every purchase, conversation and hello genuinely means so much to my little business ๐ฅน.
Not quite the ending we imaginedโฆbut certainly a market weekend we'll NEVER bloody forget ๐ญ๐ง๏ธ๐จ.
