todays market

this morning for some reason i started documenting what i was doing and what i need to do in order to get ready for a market.....if you're interested, here's what i got down (i cheated a bit and have just finished the last parts! well everything after 6:44!)

5:14: get woken up by my step-son, L. Jump in shower

5:33: look outside....overcast but looks like it should clear up

5:36   attempt to look at bom....no internet

5:37   a reboot of the wireless and crisis averted

5:39  Southeast Coast District

Forecast for Saturday

Cloudy with isolated showers. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms developing in the afternoon and evening. Light to moderate NW to SW winds.

5:50   done my bits and pieces on facebook....status updates etc.

5:55  checked hotmail, answered emails and printed out the “map”

6:30 after getting my market box organised, orders finished, make-up on and replied to a couple of txts i think i’m actually ready to go early for the first time in a  really long time!

6:40   mango for brekky. Got L to take a photo of me eating it for my photo today. ..very summery.

6:44   thought about uploading photos ive just taken onto facebook, but realise i’ll most certainly be late if i do that. Put memory card back into camera. I must now go get my camera bag....poo, think it’s in my sewing room which is unaccessible right now.

6:55   earliest i’ve left the house on market day....record breaking day today!

7:10  Even though i only live 3 mins from the market venue, only just arriving now....i blame mum for forgetting ...whatever it was she forgot that we had to go back for.

7:10-7:45  Work out how i'm going to fit so many massive tents into the soaking wet and muddy backyard (they all fitted in so nicely on my word document!)

7:45  start setting up my own stall

10:42  just realise what the time is now....the morning’s gone very fast!

11:00  decide to stay a wee bit longer.

11:15 everyone is packing up, slowly start to pack up

11:40  all completely packed up and absolutely no one around to buy anyway. A successful market day was had. By me anyway!

here are some photos of the extremel hot and muggy market day we had (but i'm not complaining becuase the rain stayed away)...

a sneak peak of us setting up our stalls...

the stall holders who marketed today were:

today we had 17 stalls turn up...the most ever! it was a great day and i thought it was awesome to see so many stalls.

please come back next time !!
