The Big Day

Ok, on an earlier post this week I explained that I had been offered a market stall every Saturday in Newton Abbot, the next town to ours. I wasn't very sure if I would have the insurance sorted in time but I managed it and come Saturday morning it was up bright and early to drive to the market and set up the stall. We had a few showers of rain but on the whole it was an ok day weather wise. I have discovered that the weather I have to worry about is the wind. I had an ok day, managed to cover all of my costs and make a little profit and the best bit is I had such an almighty buzz. It was better than a fair, people were not there to specifically look at handcrafted  items, this was just Joe Public, walking past and hopefully liking what they see. By the time I got home all I was fit for was a takeaway for tea, a very simple bracelet and an early night. I decided to make a bracelet to match the necklace from yesterday. It is called Yellow Peril also.

  

An Exciting Time

No pictures today, I have made items but it has been raining so heavily here that it is too dark to take any decent photo's. Roll on the summer so I can take my camera outside and take decent pictures again. However I do have some news. Take a deep breath (drum roll) I have signed up to have a regular market stall in my local Market Town every Saturday. Starting this Saturday or next depends how quickly I can sort out the Insurance. I am really excited but also quite nervous, not quite sure why because it is no different to a stall at a fair. The only downside is that the market is outside. I could have put it off and waited until the weather gets better but it is Mother's Day in a couple of weeks time so it seems wrong to miss out. Also up until 6 months ago I was working as a Postie so you think I should be used to the weather. I think I have every thing that I need just require some customers. I shall keep you updated and let you know whether I manage to get going this Saturday or whether I have to wait another week.
