My First Market - the aftermath...

I did it.


I survived.


My first market.        


That is me doing a happy dance!  It was a great night - stinking hot - but fabulous weather for our lovely school twilight craft market.  I was overwhelmed by all of the support MooBeeTees received from the children and parents - it reinforced why I spend hours surrounded by fabric and up to my ears in ideas!


Now, keep in mind that I don't yet have all of the hard core market gear - you know, pop up canopies, trestle tables, signage, etc.  In fact one of the dads from the Fathers Club took pity on MooBeeGran and I and loaned us an umbrella - bless!   Here's a picture of the Hamster carefully looking after the stall:


Note my subtle nod to Christmas - just in case those of you in colder climates think I'm doing this in June!





It was only little, but it gave me a taste of what I could become addicted to - the monthly market.  For those of you who encouraged me - thanks!  This market paid for more stock - the next market might get me an umbrella!!!


Cheers!!
