GORDONTON MARKET

 


Alrighty... another market day.  We have not done this one before, so fingers crossed it is a good one.

If not... you will hear about it no doubt.

At least the weather is looking OK.  Cold, but not wet.  I've got all me winter wear on, plus the new gloves I bought yesterday.  I'm going to wear my lovely new merino/possum socks and me UGG boots.  So all going well, my feet SHOULD be warm.



ABOVE:  A few photos of me and the girls, taken yesterday afternoon.  I can't get over how tall Keera is getting!  The rate she's going, soon she will be taller than me.

ONWARD...

ABOVE: 8.30 am and we are all set up. The market 'officially' starts at 10 am, so we are now twiddling our thumbs. Its quite fresh, luckily not freezing.

ABOVE: Can't say I ain't done enough to keep warm! πŸ€£πŸ˜…πŸ€£

11.48 am: I'm happy to say it has warmed up  and this market is going very well. Lots of new faces, and lovely comments about my work. 

3.27 pm:  And we are home.  I've had a wonderful soak in the bath... I feel so relaxed now.

Stew is at the supermarket doing his weekend shop.
I am not moving until dinner time now.

As for the end result of today's market?
EXCELLENT!  A very good turn out, and we did very well with our sales.  
I had not expected that!  So yeah, very happy it wasn't a wasted effort.

OH I forgot to mention... it was lovely to see you Roz!  Roz is a blog reader from Christchurch, who is up in the Waikato for the weekend.  She knew about the Gordonton Market from reading the blog and came out to say 'Hi'.  Nice girl.

8.42 pm:  And Stew and I have had a lovely evening.  He watched rugby (ikkk), and I watched Queen Charlotte, the spin off from Bridgerton.  I put it off till last night, when I watched half of it, and finished it off tonight.
I might have cried a couple of times.
It was (in my opinion) better than Bridgerton!

Now, I'm going to bed.  I'm bloody tired.  It's been a long day.  Smiling at people is TIRING.
