These are becoming more a more popular these days! I received one message that these are going to part of the swag bag for a fortune teller party.
Other party trends, including weddings seem to be carnival and circus. I received another email noting these will be used these as part of the guest favors of carnival prizes for a carnival wedding with a rockabilly twist, another for a circus birthday party and one for a bass themed birthday party!
How fun! These should bring nostalgic memories for many and make new ones for others! I wonder what kind of old memories it will bring back and how many new ones will be made?

I remember these from my childhood and one of my fondest memories is trying to play with it in the back seat of our car with all the windows rolled down due to the summer heart with my long hair whipping around and trying to protect it from blowing away yet watch to see what it did on my palm because I couldn't wait to see my fortune until we got home.

Saying Goodbye: I have my own stash of these because I love sending one of these in a package with a thank you note with each order. I also keep a stash on hand in my backpack because one never knows when someone might need to be cheered up young or old or need something to do while waiting.
What I Learned:
1. Some of my hoard is turning into regular orders at my Etsy shops! So that's a good thing while my dehoarding runs it's course to the end. In the meantime, I'm learning my fair share about retail business, marketing research and and how to run a shop on Etsy.
2. Note to self: Follow up on my Etsy business plan from last year. I have no clue when it comes to business, I flunked out of my economics class in college and get near business class after that! If you need some help writing one for your business, this one was plain and simple enough for me to follow and I finished in less than an hour.
How To Write a Creative Business Plan in Under an Hour from the Etsy blog here, which I just revisited to get the link and guess what? I forgot that my comment was featured for that posting.

Thank you Etsy buyers from all the four shops for leaving me messages about your back stories for the fortune fish because I never know how your story is going to help mine until I start writing and look where it got me today!
