The Market wrap up

I have been meaning to blog about our experience hosting our first market stall but have had a big week and to finish the week my brother-in-law to be had a motorbike accident so it has been one of those weeks. He is ok but will have a long recovery ahead of him. We are very blessed as things could have been a lot worse.

Last Sunday's market seems so long ago! When I started selling my feltie friends, I had made myself the goal to have a market stall. I put it off for such a long time, and since I had a good amount of stock I felt as though I didn't have an excuse anymore! All I wanted to do was go and sell one item which happened while I was still setting up (what a great start to the day!). I am really pleased I made it to the markets. I was able to meet some of our friends who follow us on Facebook which was really lovely! I wish I could have sold more but after lunch it got quiet very quickly. I was hoping for the perfect summer's day but it was very overcast so not as many people out at Burleigh beach as I had hoped.


I was very lucky to have a great sales assistant in Oliver, charming all the ladies browsing the markets, I mean really how could you not reist his smile!

Some of the yummy feltie treats we had on offer!
 
I gained a number of custom orders from the market that I am busy sewing to be ready in time for Christmas. Lots of pregnant mummas wanting custom mobiles for their bubbas! How very exciting! So am busy designing unique mobiles to suit either a girl or a boy. I can't wait to share the sweet bunny mobile I am about to make (it is still in design mode at the moment).
 
Looking forward to next week being full of Christmas cheer as we finish some orders and wrap our Christmas presents, decorate our house Christmas stylie, find recipes for baking some Christmas treats and have a positive happy week!
 
Sweet Dreams.
