Markets

I recently did my first market and it was a total fizzer.  Hardly anyone came to the place.  I think all up there was around 8 people.. Yep 8 people.  That is pretty daunting.  It was a hot and extremely windy day I don't know how on earth I managed to keep my shade cover from blowing over. ( A lot of thanks go out to Bill from the food stall next too me and to my amazement one of my Uncle's whom I didn't realise was him until he stood up from nailing pegs into the ground lol.) 
My stall was a bit of a mix I had jewellery, face masks, art works and a few T-shirts.  I sold 2 things for 4 hrs of work.  Yep 2 things 2 piece of jewellery :(  I won't complain though I mean I did sell something (it didn't cover the stall fee or the fuel over).  
I have run into a few who have asked me why I haven't come back to the last 3 that were on.  I had a few reasons 1 being that I had to pick up my child from contact and the other one that was on it was stinking hot and windy as hell and there was no way I'd be going there  and I wouldn't expect anyone else too.  That brought the oh you are right on the no-one else there comment lol.  So that one would have be totally pointless.I have contemplated a few since and think I will try again particularly the ones in my home town.
I think I will still bring my mixed bag of goods but I am now working on displays and storage items to hold my stuff in on the table.  I am also bringing coat hangers for the shirts and to work out a way of hanging jewellery off them.  I think what I am  planning will do the job.
I am also putting signs around with the name of the place, little sayings and how my works came about.
I have now created make it your self kits for jewellery and I am not thinking of making craft kits for kids.
Well I am not giving up I have to keep trying on these things and who knows maybe my next post will be more positive?????

I persist.
