TAMAHERE TWILIGHT MARKET 4 - 8 PM

 We are doing the Tamahere Twilight Market this afternoon.

ABOVE: Last time we did it, the weather was terrible, photo of that day above.  It couldn't have been any worse really.  

The weather forecast is for RAIN this afternoon.  Grrrrr.  

Counting today's market, we have three markets to go before the Christmas holidays.

Then we will have a a four week break, until our first of three January Markets.  

After January, we will only be doing one market a month, at the regular Tamahere Market.

We will be well ready for a break by then.

And we will have a new grandbaby to dote over ... so we won't miss the markets too much.

ABOVE:  This is the runner I started last night.  It's nowhere near finished, and I doubt I'll get it done in time for today's market.

It is going to be my 50th Braid Runner!  That is insane.

I made my first ever Braid Runner on the 19th of June.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have made 50 in just under 6 months.

10.15 am:  I got straight into the sewing room this morning, and finished NUMBER 50 Braid Runner!

ABOVE:  It looks very 'busy' but it's rather lovely.

We are now just relaxing before packing up and heading off to Tamahere later on.  Probably aiming to be there by 2 pm, ready for 'the start' at 4.

The weather is looking very undecided.  Could rain. Might not. Who the hell knows?

It will be what it will be.

9 pm:  Home.  Feet up.  Contemplating something for dinner.

The market?

Was a good one.

HEAPS of people in the first two hours, then slow but steady for the rest of it.

We did fairly well, more than our 'usual' turnover.

And that 'busy' runner I finished making this morning?

FIRST ONE TO SELL!

To a returning customer, who bought a black 'n' white runner last time he was there.

I love people who return for more!

ABOVE: Our set up today.  We were incredibly lucky with the weather.  It was quite windy most of the afternoon, but no rain.  

ABOVE: Packing up at 8 pm, there were cars lined up all down the road trying to get in to load up.

We are very lucky in that the van is always near us, and we can get it up to our spot and load up easily.  AND get out again too.

Our next market is Woodlands next weekend, and that will probably be the last time we do Woodlands.

Now... time to relax and have something to eat.

Catch ya tomorrow.
