Today we attended the Sisters Market. This is a lovely indoor market at the Brunswick town hall www.sistersmarket.com.au I attended in June and Jess and I went back to have a stall today. Due to the size of stalls (small), we only take one range of our stock. So at this market we showcase the Calafant cardboard art kits.
One of the great things about a market is the other stallholders. When there is a lull in selling, stallholders chat, swap stories, recommend other markets, - it is lovely meeting all these great people.
Today I was blessed to have my stall near to lovely women. Right next to me was a lovely young girl - Marina and her friend Lisa. Marina is incredibly talented. She has taken a break from work, to launch her own business - Green Essence Candles. Her stall display was stunning. These candles were the best smelling candles I have my vanilla one burning tonight and the price was so low. However the best thing is she makes all the candles herself out of EcoSoya Wax and sources the beautiful tins and bottles herself. Her site will be live on 30 August so check it out at www.greenessencecandles.com.au and then visit her at a market. I am blown away by her talent and courage to get this out to the rest of us.
Opposite my stall was the lovely Annabelle. She is the mother of two boys and this was also her first market. She was sewing and making the most pretty, soft and beautiful tops for children. With applique and buttons - there was a look for any child. I am so poor at sewing that I truely admire anyone who can keep two pieces of materials together let alone design something as brilliant as these tops. Contact me for her details if you wish to order any or find out which markets she will be attending. Your children will look so pretty and cool in these tops and rompers for bubs.
Jess spent last night, decorating our Calafant Castle display. And of course it looked stunning on our table, children were drawn to it and could not help but open doors and play.
