We have survived our first ever market! Our aim at the beginning of the day was to break even with the cost of the stall and we did that as well as making some profit! It was quite a slow day at the market, even though it was a sunny day outside there weren't nearly as many people wandering through the market as anyone would have hoped. We had some lovely visitors: Vicki (who made the first purchase of the day), Nat, Kat, Johnno & Gill - thank you guys! AND we even made some new friends and had many people take business cards and ask us about the site which is exactly what we wanted to achieve, spreading the word outside of our immediate circle. The candles were a HUGE hit, there were many that I made especially that haven't appeared online and now won't have the chance now that they are sold! People would spend forever smelling all of them and trying to decide which scent they liked best - they liked them all so much they couldn't choose!
Markets bring out lots of crazies (us included). As soon as we got there we got in a bitter war over stall space, we forgave each other in the end and she was loving us sick by the end of the day. We ate waffles which were bloody delicious and I bought a knitted vest from another stall holder - all in all a great day!
We are going to try our luck with a Camberwell Stall next weekend - cross your fingers for us! We think it might be a great platform for selling our furniture as it is THE market that people turn up to with trailers and utes wanting to but furniture. In the meantime, have a glorious Sunday evening and best of luck for the week ahead!
