My First Market

I can't believe it's been a week since the market - this week has completely flown by!  My day job has been quite hectic thankfully since our last bout of rain (we've been experiencing another local area drought), so I decided to spend Saturday finishing some projects that were dropped in the pre- and post-market dash.

First was to upload some pics of my stall.  I shared a table with my very talented Mum of Inspire Create Embellish.  My display was quite small but as it was my first market, I didn't want to overdo it.  The base of my display was made from recycled wood kindly gifted by my sister and uncle.  Knowing I was strapped for time, Dad very generously put it together for me.  I wanted to keep an organic, rustic vibe going, so the base was covered in hessian and fastened it to the display with some handmade coils.  I hand-painted some signs for my craft supplies but ran out of time to finish my sign for my stall.

This is me

As part of being a stall holder, we get to donate a gift to be raffled off, which in turn raises money for my nephew's school.  I had grand plans to especially design something for the raffle winner as I love making jewellery with someone or something in particular in mind . However, I was a tad overzealous and ran out of time.  I ended up donating an already made piece which I hope the person loved!  As I had already made the pendant portion, I decided to finish it adding a gorgeous carnelian and kyanite shard together with a macrame and bead combo necklace.  It's an amulet styled necklace which goes over the head, soon to be added to my "Sling-On" series.

Have much more to share ... but as being Sunday night, (and to be honest, it's taken awhile for me to get this blogging business hahaha), it's time to get dinner ready.  

Hope you have a great week ahead :)
