Title: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: EJ on July 03, 2011, 08:31:23 PM Top pic is of the market at the Rhug - in the overflow carpark for the organic butcher, burgerbar and the shop. So because it's on the A5 there's passing trade as well as locals.
But today I think they were at the lakeside, seaside or watching the tennis. Next pic is my stall in the shady corner; I was about to finish setting up, putting the creams tester (down bottom left) - there weren't many pink people to squirt with after-sun though. In fact sales were not very good all round. Bottom pic is Bryn Sguboriau Cottage Garden Plants - they grow hardy plants on a small holding high in the nearby hills. Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: Vanilla on July 03, 2011, 08:43:23 PM oh sorry to hear sales weren't good. I know the Rhug place, we always used to stop there on our way up through Wales to visit in-laws! (They have since moved so we don't drive past that way any more.)
Your stall looks good, I'd buy! If it's any consolation, I had a dreadful fair yesterday as well - same problem, i think everyone was at the beach. :( Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: Suzanne on July 03, 2011, 08:45:20 PM Sorry to hear it was not very good.
I'd buy too. Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: Lindy on July 03, 2011, 08:46:22 PM Like everyone else I'm sorry sales were down.... Your set-up is lovely... :buttrf:

Sorry to hear sales were low all over. Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: Andy on July 03, 2011, 08:57:16 PM Lovely display, I really like your 'stairs-shelf'.
Sorry about sales, I do think many people were watching tennis or something - parks and river around here were very quiet... Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: corrie on July 03, 2011, 10:05:16 PM EJ your stall just gets better and better! I'm liking the blackboards, I recently started using these and love them.
I could certainly do with some of your aftersun today! Pleased to report 3 nice days in a row in Argyll ;D Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: EJ on July 03, 2011, 10:41:14 PM Thanks people
Quote I'm liking the blackboards, I think I need lots of practice with a chalkpen though!! (handwriting has never been my strong point) Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: dizzybuff on July 04, 2011, 01:59:33 AM Summer tends to reduce sales in some trades. i was a general manager on a busy food court and during summer we had to have a cart of sarnis and salads. not the same i know, but myself i tend to stay indoors and keep cool. thank god i live in a cool house.
Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: polly on July 04, 2011, 06:21:56 AM Your stall is cracking EJ, i really like it.
Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: Cocomartinez on July 04, 2011, 09:23:17 AM Great looking stall - everything organized and beautifully presented.
Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: madpiano on July 04, 2011, 12:54:05 PM wow, lovley stall - so professional!!
sorry to hear that sales have been bad - I think it's the same everywhere! People just aren't buying and are doing cheap days out instead.... Corrie - are they panicking about a drought yet? 3 days of no rain?? :mwaha: Title: Re: Today's Farmers' Mart Post by: Helen on July 04, 2011, 07:55:40 PM Oh EJ, it looks fabulous and so well organised - really attractive. What a shame it wasn't a good day for sales though. That must be very frustrating :-\
