making lists



Well, it has been all systems go here these last few days, I don't know where the time has gone. The Model has been off on a school jolly all week, the boy relishing his time as an only child and, even though the house is markedly quieter, my time has been taken up with several to-dos, some I could have done without quite frankly.

On top of that, my stall-holding initiation is tomorrow and, despite knowing about it for the last month or so, I'm feeling distinctly unprepared. I'm going to look upon this exercise as a learning curve I've decided, being a little unsure of where to set my expectations.

But thanks to your suggestions, I do have labels ready for pricing, tissue paper and stickers for wrapping, baskets at the ready for display purposes. Then there are fabrics to cover my table, some wooden wine cases for a bit of height and storage. Now I know why I was hoarding those! There are lists and lists of other unforgettable things to remember, things that funnily enough escape me just now. And bags. Yes, I nearly forgot about those. Nice brown, paper ones with twisted handles, all eco friendly and fancy they are. Perhaps I'm not so unprepared after all.

I just need some customers now .. and some sunshine to entice them all my way. Oh, and a note to self: Mustn't forget the camera!

Have a super weekend everyone.

  9. I hope you have a wonderful time with your stall! Your products are beautiful! I keep debating about trying a stall sometime....haven't done it yet. It's the flurry of getting enough products ready that scares me. :) Maybe when the children are older?

There's nothing like a comment to stop me feeling like I'm talking to myself. If you leave one here I'll pop one back here too, so don't forget to come back and continue the conversation ..
