This weekend's markets were a success. I wasn't able to make Saturday, but although it was very hot, there was reports of a good turn out with members of the local Council visiting and making some purchases. The Council also discussed the option of a possible grant for future Community Markets. Wonderful!! Sunday started out hot and muggy, but just as the heat was getting a bit much, a lovely little breeze came in and it turned out to be a delightful afternoon under the trees. Click on the above picture to see more photos of the markets. I had set up my stall in the front yard. My necklaces I left in their storage packets and hung them from the clothesline. They looked good and were easy for people to see. I set my earring and bracelet display up under a lovely gum tree near the clothesline and the other side of the front path I put my display table. I popped my chair under a pine tree and once the breeze came in I was quite happy sitting there beading or wondering around chatting to visitors and other stall holders. No great crowd showed up, but a steady trickle of people came and went all day. Some bought, some participated in the workshops and others came for healing sessions or to eat some of the wonderful food that was available. Most were delightful and the overall energy at the studio was great. Nis and Danica are planning the next market for October/November so make a note in your diary and drop down for some great Christmas gift ideas, or just to enjoy the atmosphere of the Community Art Markets at the Pulse Art Studio. |
