The various weather sites seem to agree that we're going to have a fine day - but I've packed my tarp for the back of the stall, poly side sheets and cover with numrous clips.

It'll be the first time for the marketstall step display which I bought (far cheaper than buying square section steel tubing and plywood and getting Jones to make a set.

I checked all my costings and I don't need to raise my prices from last year ATM (wonder if anyone will notice) as I've been able to buy in larger amounts.

So fingers crossed for a better season than last year - but there's high unemployment in the area unfortunately.

Finances are tough all round but I hope you do really well tomorrow, best of luck!

Thanks Honey - even if sales aren't great it's a very social event

Have a smashing day EJ. I'm trying a new venue tom, but it's indoors. Fingers crossed for nice weather for you. I'm outdoors on Sunday, another new venue, so I'd like it nice then :buttrf:

Good luck tomorrow Elaine (and NTB). Hope it's a good day for you all round. It certainly will help being able to buy in larger volume and maintain last years prices.

Eire

Good Luck EJ

 Heres wishing you both many sales today EJ and NTB... :buttrf:

Good luck both of you!

Elaine, we wants pics of your new stall

Hope you both do well

A bit late but hope you had a good day Elaine. The sun is shining here in Derbyshire at the moment so I hope you have the same where you are.

hoping you both have a nice day. And lots of sales !!

Well we had sunny periods but no rain - not as many stalls as usual (in previous years the mart has started end of April) and footfall wasn't great either.

Nevertheless I took more than in most of the monthly marts, except for the Christmas one, during last year (one or two of those were abysmal).

I took the pic straight after I'd set up - the lady unloading the bottles is from the brewery where I buy the stout for Cwrw Du soap. Strange thing about this soap is that the bars I had with me were from the batch I made for the Christmas fairs and the beer aroma is stronger now than it was then (they've been sitting in their boxes) - she agreed with me.

I'd better make some more batches and keep them by!

Your stall looks lovely Elaine and well done, it was worth it.

 

I love your set-up. That new stall was definitley worth it. Your sunflower price tags are very cute as well.

But standing next to a brewery....oooh no. Not sure if I would be able to drive home after the market  :mwaha:

Glad you had a good day.

Wow Elaine your stall looks absolutely gorgeous  :buttrf:
