FIRST MARKET OF 2025

 

And here we go again.

The first market of 2025, for us.

From now until October, we will probably only be attending one a month.  At Tamahere.

Today's is in Cambridge, at the Anglican Church.

I'm looking forward to it, as I've missed doing markets. And I am interested to see if my new Square Table Toppers attract much interest.

ABOVE:  Our dogs and Beau got on beautifully this past weekend.  There were no scraps at all!

And Beau didn't even bother chasing Coco around, maybe he's learnt she will just ignore him?  lol

ABOVE:  A funny moment yesterday ... Lily decided to sit down.  Right on top of Marley.  Steve had to take her off.  I was super proud of Marley, she didn't do anything, just lay there with baby on top of her.  

It was such a neat weekend, Stew and I really enjoyed having the kids over.

Right, enough waffling, it's 5.48 am,  time to get a move on.

Catch ya later.

...

7.53 am... and we are all set up.

The sun is shining, and there's bugger all wind.  

ABOVE: In our spot... waiting for the shoppers now. 

We have both had a quick wander around the market... I saw some earrings and necklace sets that were lovely.

ABOVE: Next thing i know... Stew has gone and bought them.  Isn't he so lovely to me.

I spoke too soon about wind. It's now quite blustery. Most annoying.  But it's not raining!

ABOVE: Call it lunch.

This market is slow. The wind is horrendous.  But its still nice just sitting .. people watching, having the occasional conversation.  Two and a half hours to go....

3.09 pm:  Finally home, feet up, relaxing.

It was a very average day today.  Not that many people, and as I said before, the wind was a right shit!  I couldn't wait to pack up and get out of there.

The Square Table Toppers were quite popular, so I'll probably make more of them at some point.

But nothing else for now, we still have PLENTY of stock.

Steve, Bex and the kids are coming over soon for a visit/swim.  It's a lovely sunny day, out of the wind.

Just a small edit.

Gosh it's nice to be home again.  Today started, for me, at 4.30.  That's when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep.  There's been far too many night's where I've goT bugger all sleep.  

What's a natural 'something' to help with sleep? And NO Stew, it ain't 'that'.

ABOVE:  PHOTO OF THE DAY!

And... then they left, and it was back to just Stew and I.

We are both knackered, so won't be up late this evening.

Catch ya tomorrow.
