There are officially only 4 more sleeps until my first Wellington Underground market…
Eeeeek!!!!
There are butterflies in my stomach, not just on my logo!
Up until this afternoon I was feeling anything but prepared!!
My mind has been elsewhere the last 2 weeks and apparently very hard to rein in. So I had no idea what my total stock levels were, hadn’t finished making my stall displays, had no idea what my final stall layout was going to look like and 3 of the parcels I ordered a month ago (1 was 2 months ago actually) with hardware for making more stock had.not.arrived.still.
Needless to say I decided I better kick myself into action and get some prep done!
Starting with a good tidy of my sewing space (and vacuum – am I the only one that has 2 million threads all over their floor? I swear they breed worse than rabbits!!), I spent the afternoon playing with my stall layout and making display props.
This is as far as I got…
It still needs work, but considering I had nothing but a big fat mess at the beginning of the day, I’m feeling pleased.
I still have to hang my other set of fairy lights across the top (the market is underground so I’ll need all the lighting attraction I can get) and give the front of my stall some colour.
Oh, and make more stock! There is that too.
At that point I had to go and pick up the girls from school/kindy and take Hannah to ballet. But the awesome news is that when we got back from ballet we came home to a very heavy box.
Oh the excitement!!
And it wasn’t just me excited either…
I swear I did NOT make them cuddle those cabochons! They came along while I was photographing them and did that all by themselves.
They probably knew I’d be easily suckered into making them something with it.
And they were right… They now have a new ring each.
Total sucker!
So I have spent a lovely evening making pretty earrings, hair clips and necklaces.
I can’t wait to show you once I can take some proper photos!
Tonight I go to bed feeling much less stressed about my progress.
Big phew!
Looks fantastic – good luck xxx
Looking good, hope it goes well!
Ooooh looking good! good luck! and those packets of goodies are definitely huggable!
It looks great, Kat. :o)
It looks fantastic, I’d totally make a beeline for your stall if I could come!
That last photo is so funny. I am sure that you will do well at the market and once you establish yourself as a regular vendor you will be all set.
It looks great. Very pretty display and tempting colours. Hope all goes well. Can’t see why it wouldn’t.
Where did you get your garment rack? What is it called? It all looks great!
Hello, I just found your website from your photo on Pinterest. I am also a vendor who makes and sells children’s clothing at craft shows. I’m curious how do you store your clothes that didn’t sell until the next craft show. I leave mine on the hangers on racks in my craft room; but, was wondering if there is a better way. The sleeves droop over time and then you have the hanger marks on the clothes and also the bows get smashed.
