We got flooded ๐ฑ๐ฃ - this will be a bit longer post.
This year the weather really isn't on our side when it comes to outdoor events...
Back in March, in Opatje Selo, we had to rescue our gear from the rain and move the whole booth to the other side of the venue. And this weekend? A heavy storm with hail and LOTS of rain. Once again, some of our stands ended up standing in water. ๐ฆ
When I saw the back of our booth slowly filling up with water and realized I couldn't stop it in that moment - the feeling was devastating. It's such a horrible feeling of helplessness, knowing that something you built with your own hands can be destroyed in just a few minutes. ๐ญ๐
First, you're angry at yourself for even showing up... and then your brain just switches into survival mode: "Okay, how do we fix this?" ๐ช๐ป
We quickly lifted everything we could, crammed the stands under the tent (where there was barely any space left), and step by step tried to save what mattered most.
Luckily, we had tiles to raise the stands off the ground, and as always - the floor cover under our tent saved us big time (from dust, mud, cold, and now water).
Before the day ended, we managed to drain all the water from the back of the booth. The stands were soaked, the floor was wet, but at least everything else was safe.
โ๏ธ By Sunday the sun came out and dried things up - the stands looked much better, and our products stayed completely unharmed. Honestly, if you visited us that day, you probably couldn't even tell what we had gone through just 12 hours before.
And for that, I'm incredibly grateful ๐๐ป - for the little bits of luck, for the gear that survived, and especially for all of YOU. ๐ฅฐ Thank you so much for the kind and supportive words here online and to everyone who stopped by our booth. ๐ถ
