Well... here we go.
My first market in months and months!
I'm still not actually looking forward to it, at all.
But I'm hopeful I will find my mo-jo again, and actually enjoy it.
ABOVE: That's the school where the market is being held today. My spot is under the arrow (obviously!). Rototuna High School on Kimbrae Drive.
IF you are in the area, please do pop in and say 'Hi'. I'd love to see some of my friends enjoying the market. There is upwards of 150 stalls, so it's going to be a large market.
So... I'm up and just gathering the last few things we need. Diet Coke it top of the list of course.
I will try to do an update or two during the day... so come back later and see how we are doing.
Stew is coming with me, and helping run the stall all day too. Thank goodness... it's so much easier with two of us.
ONWARD...
ABOVE: All set up and waiting for the crowds.
Its a sunny day, but very windy. Wind is the pits.
We are in a courtyard between the buildings, there's also many stalls inside the school too.
ABOVE: GETTING BUSIER.
ABOVE: Well these are new! Hot swirly chips on a stick.. with chicken salt. Stew and I shared one.
Secretly... I could have eaten it ALL ON MY OWN. 🤣😅😊
Sales are steady today, so I'm happy.
1 hour to go till pack up time.
3 pm: home and happy as. Bex was even happier, she did VERY WELL today. She now has to work like hell to build up her stock in readiness for the next market.
I need to make more runners for the next market... I sold several today.
ABOVE: I just love our pool! We are going to LIVE in it over summer.
Once we got home and unloaded we ALL jumped in the pool. It was FREEZING! But so refreshing after a hot day.
I wish you luck today! Have fun visiting with people. Hope the weather is nice. Another day in New Zealand, that I envy. No craft shows around here anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteI was going to come down but I've had a change of plans 😭. Best of luck

ReplyDeleteYour display looks really good. Good luck today.
ReplyDeleteYour stall would have to be one of the most professional ones there!
ReplyDeleteThat potato item must be a real money maker for them. It looks like 10 potato chips on a stick half a potato at most. However - I bet it was tasty when it was hot and fresh!
ReplyDeletePotato tornado!
ReplyDeleteI had one of those potatoes at Day out with Thomas at Glenbrook - soooo good x
ReplyDeleteGreat score for you n Bex will give them a huge boost too after having Steve unwell earlier on
ReplyDeletePool looks so inviting
You will get hours of fun in the sun ☀️
Cheers 🥂
Love your stall Chris. What are the owls. They're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had good sales at the market. Does Bex sell the same type of crafts as you?
ReplyDeleteHi sue I crochet toys and other items like christmas stockings but mostly toys 🙂
DeleteGlad you had a good day. Oh! those chips on a stick look delicious. I could eat one all by myself too.
ReplyDeletePatricia
Yeah! Glad you had a good day. I miss the craft shows but our numbers are so high it wouldn’t be smart to do them yet.
ReplyDeleteThe pool area looks so nice and inviting!
