ALANDALE 'MARKET' IN OCTOBER

 

Well here we go for the second time ever, attending the village mini market.

Thank goodness we don't have to get up super early!  It's now 7 am, and we shall head down to the Community Centre in half an hour and set out all the runners etc.

ABOVE: Those were the two smaller braid runners I got done yesterday.  I plan on making a lot more of the smaller braid runners, as they are selling well right now.

It seems people are going for cheaper options right now... and I totally get that.  So, I shall cater to demand.

I better get off here and get myself ready to leave.  There's several bonus's to this market... it's inside, it won't be freezing cold, no wind or rain to contend with, and if I forget anything, I'm a two minute walk from home.  😊

ONWARD...

10.37 am... and this little market is going VERY WELL!

ABOVE:  One of our residents saw this big runner and thought her sister would love it.  So she rang her sister, and the sister came over to our village.  And yep, she loved it and bought it, vowing to love it as much as I did.  Awwww.

4.55 pm.  The market went so well, we were totally surprised!  We sold across the board, but placemats were the biggest seller.

Once we had packed up and arrived home, I was in need of a nap.  So I lay down and that was it for two hours!

Up now, and we are going to Portofino (Italian Restaurant) for dinner in an hour.  I'm rather looking forward to that.

Back later...

7.15 pm and we are home again.

Dinner...

ABOVE: I had the Chicken and Bacon Penne bake.  It was a bit tasteless, and OMG so hot!  I ate about half of it, then Stew ate the rest.

ABOVE: Stew had some sort of seafood concoction... it looked like someone had spewed on the plate!  But he assures me it was delicious.

We didn't have any dessert as the choices were mostly ice cream based, and I was already cold.  NO  thanks.

I found a few more photos that I took today, but will share them tomorrow.

For now, it's time to simply relax and listen to bloody rugby.  Or not.

I think I'll put my earphones on and listen to something on YouTube or Netflix.

Catch ya tomorrow.
