another day, another market

wow! what an amazing market and turnout! I started the day trying to earn wife of the year award by making scrambled eggs for hubby before we jumped in the car early to head off for market. I felt mean making him get up at 6am after a week interstate for work and a cold…. but we got there! The market was sooooo busy, there was plenty of pram gridlock going on during busy times.

I had a lovely neighbour helen and her tempting wares….I’m definitely in the market for more of her gorgeous items and she indulged in some fabric too! I see a future sewer in the making here…..

and this is a very bad photo of very good cupcakes! I bought 12 and came home with enough for dessert tonight and they were so delicious and very popular today with everyone!

oh those cupcakes

claire was there with her gorgeous owls…..and her hubby was even on hand to help out! She was also located right next to a tempting store…..it was cookies for her!

and I got to meet the gorgeous wynona of ivy designs…..we’d been emailing for a while and it’s sooo nice to put a face to a name and say hi! Oh her stall was gorgeous and I’m definitely going to need one of these dolls for keira’s 4th birthday this year

Big thank to you to everyone who came and said hi and to all the new people I got to meet! Also to my lovely helper Katia, I just couldn’t do markets without you and I’m so glad you had a great day too…….we make a good team if I do say so myself! Now it’s time to feed the twins, order the chinese takeaway and rest my weary feet! I’ll show you my purchases tomorrow…I tried to be restrained!!!!!!

  1. Oh I am so in love! In love with that jug with the red heart. That sure does look like a very good market. How lucky for all those that live in the area.

    Glad you had a good time. Love your display suitcases! It really does make a difference to have lovely props.

  2. Sounds like you had a great day – enjoy your little rest and looking forward to seeing what you got:)

  3. Enjoy your rest, you’ve earned it!
    It looks like a great market and I’d love a few of those cupcakes :o)

  4. Thank you Corrie!! We are a great team indeed!!!!
    I had a great time and really enjoyed the market! X

  5. What it all looks stunning! I am so jealous.

  6. Congratulations!! I do find it easier going to markets before anyone is up & do it alone, or i have a procession of excited children to kiss, hug, farewell. I like to focus & set up as early as possible, then i can relax.
    Glad you had great crowds, well done. It’s so cool to meet people you email, like a crafty mummy dating on line service. Love Posie

  7. Awww thanks Corrie :-) It is so lovely to get a spot next to someone who likes a chat as much as me!

    I am so delighted with my fabrics…just need my sewing machine to arrive!

    See you soon!

  8. How fantastic that the market went so well for you Corrie. I think I would be too scared to have a stall as I am sure I would spend all my earnings at all the other fantastic stalls you showed us. Cant wait to see what goodies you bought, and enjoy the chinese!

  9. You are a marvel Corrie! Not only a huge market today but a post as well. You certainly earned your takeaway tonight! Can’t wait to see what you bought. Rest up :)

  10. So great market!!! I love these photos! I wish we had whatever like this where I am living, but nothing… It is sad. I guess you are lucky to *walk* through this market even. I have got a head-ach thinking of this market now …. sorry.
