Last sunday we again did the craft market route – this time in Leeds City centre. I was initially assigned a 1/2 stall (I only paid for 1/2 stall anyway), but protested when I realise the person who was sharing my stall was selling earrings for £1.50 – the usual crapola earrings available world wide. So yeah, two weeks in a row where I paid for 1/2 stall but got the whole stall! But to be honest, its looking likely that I would eventually need a full stall.

Hmm…still space for more display units. Will be doing that for the next one…and just pray that I still accidentaly get assigned a full stall!

My south sea pearls collection. I changed the clasp to toggle-styled to give it a modern twist. Yes folks, pearls are no longer for grannies! Well, not mine anyway

I like the effect of draping the table with sarong…the red brings out the black undercover as well. It’s not easy setting up a market stall you know!

My new product – knitted hair slides and brooches. No, I did not suddenly learn how to knit, but I did hand sew the sequins and fixed the slides and brooches to the back! Love em…on sale for only £2.50 cause I’m cheap like that. Just got more in, this time they will be crocheted instead of knitted.
Hmm. I made less than the week before, but to be honest, I expected to do worse. It was enough to pay for an early dinner for me and bacon. So I guess it’s not that bad. Not like I’m going to retire anytime soon, but hopefully they will do a good job of promoting the next one which is going to be indoors. With any luck business should be brisk. Now, I need to go back to the drawing board and get more stock in…three months and counting to christmas..falallalaa—-lala—lalaaa!!

Comment by sourrain 09.17.08 @ 9:11 amI love the pearls! Watched a documentary yesterday about pearls and they are absolutely gorgeous. There’s a vintage, timeless feel to it
Yes! Helps that my birthstone is pearl
. My fav are pearls and turquoise.
And diamonds of course are my best friend
.
I am going to make a ‘traditional’ version as well – knotted between each pearl to minimize the pearls rubbing against each other and losing it’s lusture.
