My National Convention Delta Treasures

The rest of the convention was all about the business. It was refreshing to finally be able to sleep (FINALLY) and not worry about waking up at 4:30 am for early morning rehearsals. Although I enjoy connecting with sorors, singing the choir, and attending fun-fare events such as the Gospel Fest, Stepshow, Welcome ceremony, etc., the best part of the convention to me is the business. After getting dressed, I was able to connect with my neo again, and we headed to the central area for the business sessions. It was quite informative. When it was all over, we both headed to the vendor's area since I had to leave out and head home the next day. As much as I have enjoyed myself in Las Vegas, I was really looking forward to going home.

We walked around for a bit, as I started to check out the deals. Since the convention was coming to a close, vendors tend to put a lot of their items on sale, so they don't have to ship their merchandise home. (There were still two days left, but I had to get back home to prepare for school).  I usually only go to the vendors TWICE during a National Convention/Regional Conference; on the first day and the night before I leave. On the first day, I only purchase MUST HAVES. Must haves for me are items that are unique, and the vendor only has a few in stock.  Typically, these items sell out before the end of the first day. On the last night, before I leave, I will go back to the vendors to bargain shop and see what they have on sale. Most of the time, all the items that I purchased during this period is 30-50% off. I was able to find some great things!  After we casually browsed through every booth, we started back at the beginning to see if there was anything worth buying. I must admit that most of the paraphernalia that I purchased, was during this time. All of the items were on sale, and I was able to negotiate a few pieces. Here is a preview of my fantastic finds.

My Delta Treasures

I LOVE Jewelry

This set was only 10 bucks, YES! 

I can never have too many Delta Pins

I had to shop for my Darling Alpha Husband. He was SO thankful.

I Love This Unique Delta Shirt. WINNER!

I received this shopping bag for free w/purchase. 


So while I was shopping, I stopped by this booth "Renee Marie" to inquire if they had what I labeled as the "Superwoman" bracelet.  I purchased the bracelet a month before, and I wanted to show my neo the bracelet. When I asked about the bracelet, the vendor looked confused and stated that I must have the wrong booth. I was then confused, and I pulled up my phone and pulled up my blog to show her a picture. I featured her items on my blog before. (She has some amazing stuff, check it out here --->(http://blackgreeklife.blogspot.com/2017/07/my-delta-treasures.html)
At any rate, when I showed her the picture and told her the I blogged about her items, she smiled and stated that they didn't bring any bracelets to the convention. I told her that I really wanted to show my friend the bracelet. She then reaches behind the counter and pulls out this BEAUTIFUL envelope clutch and says "Now you have something else to blog about." I paused for a second, and it took me a min to realize she was GIVING IT TO ME! I came across the counter to give her a big HUG. (Oh, and I failed to mention she was also a soror). HOW COOL IS THAT???? The front has a print of our Crest, and the back has our beautiful letters. I absolutely fell in LOVE WITH IT, and if she didn't bless me with this clutch, I would have bought it. She also blessed my neo with a free clutch as well.  Thank you SOROR CANDICE!!!!!!!!!

I ended up purchasing two more items from Renee Marie once returned home which I will feature on my blog at a later time.  Her quality of her merchandise is impeccable.  I am very pleased with my Delta finds, and my husband was grateful for the items that I purchased for him as well. He stated that he was more than prepared for the upcoming fraternity year. I told him that I need to buy a Delta Jewlrey box, JUST FOR Delta Items. After he saw my Delta items, he agreed! So now I am on the hunt to find a Delta Jewlrey box to store my jewelry.
