The market didn't have a lot of traffic but nonetheless we had a some sales. Not a lot, but some. Our friend had the stall next to us and she didn't have that many sales either.
Of the people who did come past... they were generally really sweet and delighted to have a wide range of headband colours and flowers to choose from. A few stood out: like the one lady we noticed some time later walking around the market wearing her navy headband with its white daisy and she looked amazing. Another lady bought a flower to pin on to her hat; another bought a mint green headband and pink rose-like flowers and she put it on immediately.
Another lady bought a large flower as a brooch for herself and she wanted another in autumn colours for her daughter, who lives overseas. So we whipped one up there and then for her - she chose the colours and came to fetch it some time later. She was delighted.
We received a number of compliments too on our work, especially from women who crochet too. That's always nice.
For the rest, we so enjoyed parking off on our camp chairs, chatting to each other, other people and friends who stopped past.
That night both Staci and I enjoyed watching dvds at our own homes with nothing in our hands - for the first time in two months!
I'd do this again but definitely not with any regularity. It's a huge amount of fun but time-consuming work.
We've still got stock so we're looking at other fair options and may also have an open day for friends and relations as we'd put them off getting flowers and headbands until after the market.
