But not to buy a fat pig! This is how our stall looked on Saturday at the MarionLIFE market. (Yes! That is grandson peeking out between the table and
Picklesticks' great bags on the righthand side!) It was a great day weather wise and thanks to my Bradley we were well set up with shade for the day. (Nevertheless, I still managed to get burnt! No-one else under our shade did. I just have very fair skin I guess) Grandson only lasted about an hour. Markets are NOT for 2 year olds. Not for the grandson kind of 2 year old anyway! He went home with an Aunt to spend time with his Pa. (My Bradley)
A closer look at our wares! Mrs P from
Quilting in My Pajamas came to visit and bought a monster (My only sale for the day! Thank you Mrs P!) I, of course, had just gone to the supermarket in search of lunch and missed her. My girls thought that was really funny! Both Picklesticks and Miss 24 made some good sales and were pretty happy with the day. I was also pretty happy cause I did get to meet Pip from
Rest is not Idleness! She is a lovely person. Not a shock really cause I think most craft bloggers are the best kind of people!
These are Mr 16's birds that he made. People liked them and touched them, but nobody bought them. It was a really interesting day to people watch. So many people touched our handmade things! They really were drawn to them. We had lots of compliments which was a real confidence booster for us all. Picklesticks has already loaded some of her market extras onto her
etsy shop and I will be doing the same later this week. I am glad to have done the market, but also glad for it to be over! This week I will be sewing whatever I want!
I was at Val's place at a bloggy stitching day. Val has such a lovely quilty house! You have probably seen Val, Claire, Shay and Loz's takes on this. It was a great day! I was sitting here this afternoon wondering what I had done all this past week and this fun filled day came to mind. I have done some things this week. Just have to think what they are!

I visited the Bird Bath tonight. I really love visiting the blogs of other Adelaide bloggers! Bird Bath had her birthday today and is having a happy week. So much so that she's going to be posting about more things that make her happy this week and she has invited others to join her. This is one of my happy thoughts. His name is Bradley and we have been married for 25 years.
