THIRD KORIKORI MARKET

 

It's around 5.45 am, and we are just getting ready to head out the door.

This is the third Annual Korikori Christmas Market, here's hoping it's a good one.

At least the weather is looking OK... cloudy with virtually no indication of rain.

I am super happy with the stall site 'S' gave me the other day!  

ABOVE: We are on a corner and we overlook all the food vendors.  So lots of people will be able to see our stall with no trouble at all.

Not only that, we are just a few metres away from the 'Cash Out' facility, which comes in damn handy when people don't have cash.

I never attend a market with big expectations, that way you are not too disappointed if it isn't a good one.  Last weekend's market was exceptional, so let's see how this one pans out. 😊

ABOVE:  7.30 am, and we are ready.

And my head is POUNDING... so I'm rather relieved that I brought some pills!

It's very cloudy and windy, but otherwise ok. 

ABOVE: Quite a few people have said "Are you cold?"

NOoooooo.... I just like dressing like this! 

It is nippy. The wind has a real bite to it. I don't give a shit how I look, as long as I'm not cold and miserable. 

Still early with hardly any shoppers here yet.

ABOVE: 10.40 am, still very overcast and cold, but the shoppers are arriving finally.  We've made a few sales.. those Red /Green runners are certainly popular!

I'll be making more next week.

3.01 pm:  And we are home.   Overall it was an 'average' market.  We made enough to get out of bed for, but it wasn't as good as last weekends turnover.

Still, we are happy enough.

Now that the car is unpacked, I at least, can put my feet up and rest for a while.

Stew is going out again in a little while with Steve.  They are picking up Lacy's small fridge/freezer and bringing it back here for us to use.

We are finding having just one fridge and one freezer not quite enough coming into summer.  So, as Lacy has our really big fridge/freezer, we are stealing her little one.  Works for us.  It's what family does, helping each other out.

7.01 pm:   And the fridge/freezer is in the garage, and we will put our stuff in it tomorrow.

It has to 'settle' after being transported over here.

Stew cooked dinner for us tonight, which was lovely.  

I am bone tired and intend going to bed damn early tonight.  

Catch ya tomorrow.
