i have finally found a moment to sit down and share my thoughts on my first market stall experience. i have no measure to go against but i feel that it all went better than i expected. petrie markets is such a laid back place to have a stall so that certainly put me in the right frame of mind right from the moment i pulled into the driveway. we were shown to a lovely spot right in between two gorgeous trees giving us full shade for most of the day.
Renata was the perfect other half to my hand made goodies and her quilled cards certainly were a draw card. i was so pleased that she too went away having done better than expected and keen to be a regular partner in crime.
i did well, but of course would hope to equal or do better next time and this experience gave me an insight into how to improve my sales. one lovely lady who runs the scrap booking shop reminded me that even if people didn't buy today they would be able to keep a memory of what i have for sale and buy it at a later date if i became a regular. i thought that was good advise and a great way of thinking.
here are a few murky shots to share with you.
this is early in the morning and i am told by the lovely linda that our stall was by far the prettiest!!
we both had a sale at the same time which made us so happy we had to have a cuddle :) that is my gorgeous niece Renata who now has her online shop up and running, head over and have a look at her blog you wont be disappointed.
and here is my father who came for a visit with my eldest sister (reantas mum), he is a great supporter of all that i do (and all of his children for that matter) and bought an item from both me and Renata to help boost our sales. thanks dad, you're the best!!
i would like to thank my good friend Jo for visiting and spending up big and introducing me to some of the gorgeous children she so lovingly cares for in her role as a foster mum. and of course the lovely Linda for supporting me even though she was on deaths door. not only did she buy some of my hand made lovelies but she gifted my lili with THE most GORGEOUS hand made pillow you have ever seen. i am saving that for my next post :)
well thanks for stopping by and checking in on me. overall the market was so good that i am keen to get out again. we have a definite date of the 23rd of this month but i sure do wish it was sooner :)
have a great hump day..whats left of it!
xxxrosey
p.s. i have made something totally new, and am working on something i started ages ago...will share some sneaky peeks later...
i was being sneaky, she didn't know i was taking these photos...
making a rocky path to the hotel door.
ooops. she caught me!
i cant imagine how luxurious this hotel must seem to visiting fairies!
isnt she sweet, how could any fairy refuse a room at this house??
here is a shot of some of my items for sale. the two mixed media fairy canvases were bought by two of the cutest little girls. one with brown hair and one with red hair!! and of course a little girl who was told by her mother to come back and buy it later was sad when she came back to find it was gone...guess i will be making a few more of those :)
