View from the village hall
I didn't do as well at this market as I normally do at some of my regular markets, but I think that was because this was because the visitors were more of a traditional craft fayre bunch. Not sure creepy doll badges were high on their shopping lists! Sometimes that just the way it rolls! I'm sure as word spreads about this monthly market, there'll be even more visitors.
Anyway, it did make me realise that I may have to adapt the things I sell to appeal to different markets.
Take a browse through the photos to see some wonderfully talented artists and crafters.
Gifts of Nature Workshop. Fabulous wood turning from Sue Cattell.
My new recycled fabric-covered notebooks
The Crow Road stall (me) and yes, yes, I know I need to work on a proper display. I'm doing it ok?
Bizzie Lizzie (aka Lesley)
Lovely painted furniture, mirrors etc. but she is also a beautiful fine art painter and below are some of her lovely cards of her village scenes.
Yankee do-Little Delights. A fabulous idea from our resident american, Meghan. She beautifully packages ingredients for traditional american cookies and brownies. (She also kept us going with samples she had made earlier. They were delicious)
This lady does the most gorgeous knitted scarves in fine merino wool, decorated with tiny beads and at such a reasonable price. Check out her website.
Cute little angels.
Lovely jams and chutneys from Hedgerow Preserves.
Beautiful crafts from Button-It
Quirky Boots handcrafted goodies.
It was a lovely day; my mum came to keep me company and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the other stall-holders and having cups of tea made for us by Deanne and Michelle. I look forward to the next one.
