We Profited

Saturday’s Art and Craft Expo was a fabulous success!

We had prime position with two tables jutting out from a corner, which meant there was lots of room for people to stop without bottlenecking and blocking the flow of the crowds.

I sold these …

As well as 4 pairs of earrings.

BGWLBH sold two pieces of art, a heap of cards, book marks and painted rocks.

The people who booked the table beside us, didn’t turn up, so the organisers offered it to us and luckily, BGWLBH had a stack of extra art pieces to fill that table. The organisers were very appreciative because an empty table in the middle of everything looks bad.

We had a great day with lots of friendly, happy, positive interactions, as well as great catch ups with locals, old friends and old customers of my shop.

The final hour of the day went very slowly because the customers dwindled away prior to that. It was agreed that next year the Expo would be open from 8.30am - 1pm instead of 2pm.

So we were very excited to finish with a good profit each and to have our egos massaged by people who loved our art enough to spend their money!

By the time we packed up at the hall, unpacked at home, made an early ‘fend for yourself’ meal, we were exhausted and all in bed before 6pm!

THEN we were up at 6am this morning to head into the Bay for the “Witches Market”.

What we didn’t realise, was that it didn’t even start until 9.30am! Note to self - read the information thoroughly before making plans!

It was a chilly, but beautiful morning and we found a little cafe on the esplanade to kill time with breakfast. BGWLBH had bacon and eggs with a pot of tea and I ordered a fresh pineapple and orange juice.

It was still too early, so we found a lovely spot to sit for 20 minutes …

The Witches Market was great.

I could easily have spent $1000 but I restrained my spending somewhat.

I purchased some Moringa tincture, USNEA tincture, home made Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother), some gifts for my kids and grandkids and a Shungite necklace for myself. Oh and a slate coaster with a skeleton engraved and the words “Yes, but did you die?” for Adoring Husband.

The reason for this gift is because he is ALWAYS injuring himself and sometimes very badly, but never to the point of death (obviously).

We were home, and once again feeling exhausted, by 1pm.

I made some lunch and headed straight to bed where I watched an episode of the new Jet Lag series and then napped for an hour.

Luckily, it is ‘Spaghetti Sunday” so dinner was quick and easy.

Straight back to bed and now I’m ready to sleep again.

Nite all.
