Off to Market

I thought I still had plenty of time but the last few weeks have flown by and my first Market day is on Sunday!

It is all very exciting and I am looking forward to it but I am a little over whelmed at everything that you need to prepare in order to sell at a market.

I will be taking all of my stock with me including these fabulous French Market Baskets so my online store will be off line on Sunday, just for the day. I won't be able to update the inventory throughout the day and I would hate for someone to buy something online that I actually no longer had so the easiest thing to for me do is to go offline, but it is only for the day so come Monday you can shop again, that is, if I have anything left :-)

I am hoping I have a great sales day because I am looking forward to stocking up on new goodies just for Christmas and I really do need to make some room to store it all.

If you live in or near Orange come on and visit me at the market. It is on between 9am and 2pm Sunday 16th September and East Orange Public School and it is meant to be a fabulously sunny day.

Home, Love, Ruffles and more

I have had some really pretty new things added to my store over the last few days 

and I thought I would share some of them with you because they are so pretty

I must confess that I love working from home and I love my husband who supports me while I do it

Not just financially but in every way.

He is my rock

and thank you for all of your lovely comments and your support and encouragement

It is so wonderful having a network of friends who give you the confidence to live your dream.

French Market Baskets

I am so excited,

all the stock I am ordering is starting to arrive and it is feeling more real every day

I just adore these French Market Baskets perfect for taking to the Farmers Markets on Saturday morning or for a quick trip to the grocery store.

Do you have local Farmers Markets? Ours are held once a month and we love popping in to have breakfast or coffee there as well as to buying some yummy treats for home.

The baskets are hand crafted in Morocco from natural palm fibre with strong Moroccan leather handles, choosing one to keep for myself is proving to be difficult, I am not sure what style to have as I like them all.

I am not sure that hubby is as excited as I am though, our lounge room looks a little messy and the TV is almost hidden ;-) 

Today I am taking photos, sorting and storing all of these goodies in a safe place out of the way.

Thank you for all of your supporting and encouraging comments on my last post. It is so lovely to read them and have them to look back on when my insecurities surface and I start to wonder what I am doing!!!
