My Market Day

Sooo. The market in Avoca was on yesterday and I was there. A great experience - alas not much custom. These recessionary times... *sighs*

No, seriously. I had a great time today. The market was on between 12 and 4 pm and I managed to arrive and set up all exactly in time. Here is a view of the little community hall where the market took place.

Unfortunately that is as busy as it got! There were only 8 stalls (including me), selling jams and juices, baked goods, children's raingear, bric-a-brac, jewellery, toys and plants. A café at one end of the hall offered tea and coffee plus homebaked cakes, and there was a puppet show and face painting for the kids. Oh, and Christy Moore on an endless loop on the stereo *eeek*.

Here is my stall - I had brought along a selection of my photo products and some mounted prints for sale. My Christmas cards and the candleshades were most popular. But nonetheless sales were slow - for all sellers. Well, at least I made 
back what I had to pay as a stall fee. Plus I had some really nice conversations with visitors. So it was a lovely afternoon and I will go back when they start up again at the end of February. 

Excited - I am selling at Avoca Market tomorrow!!!

Just a quick post to apologize for not having blogged in a couple of days. The reason being that I am going to sell at Avoca Market tomorrow. No link, unfortunately, but Avoca Market is a lovely little country market just outside Dublin in the Wicklow Mountains. It takes place on the last Saturday every month and has been going only since the beginning of this summer.

Myself and my friend M___ are going to (try and) sell some of our photography products there. We have plenty of original b/w photographs on offer (check a selection on our website Still Dublin ), cards, postcards, notecards and - as the season demands - some Christmas cards.

I have also sat down and made lots of my candleshades which I showed you here. Hopefully these beauties will come as a nice Christmas pressie for someone...

The boxes are packed and we are ready to go. I will take some pictures tomorrow and show you how we got on.
