" HEY SHARONKAY, JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU WE HAD SO MUCH FUN TODAY. IT WAS LIKE BEING 5 YRS. OLD
IN A ICE CREAM SHOP. WE HAD A BLAST! ! ! THERE WERE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL DRESSES AND ACCESSORIES TO
CHOOSE FROM AT SUCH GREAT PRICES. WE PURCHASED A BEAUTIFUL DRESS AND A PAIR OF SHOES SHE
HAS BEEN WANTING FOR A YEAR. SHE SPOTTED THE SHOES AT THE BRIDAL SHOPPE IN LAKE CITY. I
WOULD BUY THEM FOR HER BECAUSE THEY COST SO MUCH . WELL LOW-AND-BEHOLD SHE SPOTTED THEM
TODAY RIGHT OFF THE BAT. HALF PRICE !!!! GOT THEM FOR $75.00..... BRAND NEW AND HER SIZE. CAN
YOU BELIEVE IT. SHE IS SO HAPPY WITH A NEW DRESS AND MOST OF ALL... HER NEW BEAUTIFUL SHOES
SHE WANTED SO BAD. PLEASE PLAN ANOTHER REAL SOON. REAL SOON. I KNOW IT WAS VERY HARD TO DO FOR THE FIRST TIME AND YOU ARE EXHAUSTED. I BROUGHT TWO WITH ME TODAY AND I WILL HAVE MANY MORE NEXT TIME SINCE I KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT NOW. HOPE IT WAS A GOOD PROFIT FOR YOU . KEEP IN TOUCH"
I just wanted to say Thank you for doing the GOWNarama. S. and I had lots of fun. I hope that you will do it again because it was a great way to get rid old stuff and get new stuff!!! THANK YOU!
I had so much fun!! I love to socialize with other pageant people. Everyone was so nice, and my daughter got a gorgeous dress! I was very impressed with your organization of everything. I would love to send the sellers a little note inviting them to the pageants coming up. Just let me know. Definitely keep in touch and I will get you some information and an electronic application for your website as soon as I can!
Hi Sharonkay,
You did a wonderful job on the event Sunday! We were overwhelmed at the amount of dresses, etc... We didn't sell any of our gowns, but we had a great day and A.'s friend, C., that tagged along with us had a great time and now has"pageant fever".
I had a great time on Saturday at Beauty Queens wanted and have sent you photos from the day. SG.
As you know my pageant production company purchased a table, The All American Pageant & The Global America Pageant.
It was great for us too. PLEASE let me know when another one comes.
Hey Sharonkay!
Gownarama was an awesome event. Great participation! Great location! Lots to look at and try on. We enjoyed getting to see friends and just hanging out for the afternoon.. I have no complaints.. just a couple suggestions.. I know you put lots of time and effort into it.. and it showed... Thanks so much for all you do!!
We had 11 gowns, one interview suit, and some sportswear items to sell and unfortunately, didn't sell the first one.. Our gowns were reasonably priced considering the cost. We had gowns for $100 to $300... some with the tags still on them...
Please don't get me wrong,
I love a good deal, but it was very hard to compete with a vendor that was selling NEW gowns for $50 and $100... and had a huge selection.. Just wish there was more opportunity for used gowns to be sold without the competition of new ones being sold
so cheaply at the same venue. Like I said I LOVE A GOOD DEAL!! Just wanted to sell my gowns as well.
Anyway.. I thought the event was spectacular.. and you my dear did an awesome job..
Thanks so much for arranging the entire event .. I know it must have been nervewracking!!
THANKS!
THANKS FOR THE EMAIL..I APPRECIATE "ALL" THE COMMENTS, GOOD OR BAD...THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THE EVENT BETTER!
I TRULY MEAN THAT. KEEP THE EMAILS AND SUGGESTIONS COMING! Sharonkay
ps...it was only nervewracking the first hour...then it was just a big party, with dresses!
Hey SharonKay,
I'm so ready for the next Grownarama, I'm SO EXCITED!
It was the greatest gown swap on the planet. I think you may have found your niche ....M. loves the stuff she bought from ya'll.
Thank you so much for all your hard work! ... I really admire your hard work and creativity!! Please let us know about future GOWNaramas! We will be there!
Sharonkay---just wanted to thank you for organizing this great event. we look forward to the next one!!
Hi, It was a great event, the only idea I have is if you can put all the baby & toddlers together, maybe ask what sizes they are selling when they hold a spot and put all childrens spots together. Thats what I heard from a few of the ones selling baby dress, they wished they were together so more people would look. Or maybe next time you can have it on Saturday. And I think if you plan far enough in advance you can let all schools know and put in in the state paper (free in section B pg 2 I think) and Craigs list that would bring more people out. Again I had a great time.
