2020-Whooooooaa!!!

Aloha Folks!

Yes, it HAS been a long time, eons it seems like! I didn't post anything at all last year, and we are now way past the halfway point of 2020. I certainly hope everyone is doing well, and that your lives have not been in an unmanageable upheaval. Mine has changed plenty, yet stayed the same. I'm now a bionic woman with a new knee since the end of January, and then the fun began. 

We had to close down the Swap Meet as Hawaiian Shores deemed it cautionary to keep things safe. A couple of months ago, we even considered re-opening. After a survey of vendors where we didn't receive enough positive responses, we remain on the side of caution.

Sadly, this covid event has sidelined all of our lives. Hopefully you have managed to focus on the positive things one can do in life when left to ones own devices. Stephen and I have done a bit of reflecting on the future of Stables Swap Meet. It had become more of a monthly chore than a joy. We were not getting enough interest for the vendors to feel like it was worth their while , and there are a myriad of reasons around that.....which I won't address here and now.  

What I will address is that we would like to continue in the future sometime, when life returns to a new normal. Possibly a seasonal Swap Meet? Four times a year plus our Holiday Fair. As for this years Holiday Fair..... the jury is still out. If we do, it may be only outside in the back, maybe only a few vendors indoors with all the windows and doors open. It may be a mix of gift vendors and second hand vendors. We shall see. It depends on how this all goes. 

In the meantime, have no fear, only respect for the covid and  for each other. Wear a mask to protect those who would need it, and yourself.
