Fairy Floss Market



Early in October I attended the first Fairy Floss Market. It was held in Doncaster and was such a beautiful market. There were the most talented, creative stall holders and the room that it was held in was sunny (it had huge windows) and everything was set up so beautifully. On arrival each stall was set with a white tablecloth and each stallholder received a beautifully decorated chocolate cookie.. Kirsty - the organiser did such a brillant job and marketing the event and in the organisation of it the day ran so smoothly and the crowds did not stop until right on closing time. Kirsty has since held one in Geelong, there will be one in Berwick in November, another in Williamstown and Doncaster in December. The Fairy Floss Market will be a huge success for all who take their products and for the shoppers. Visit one near you.

Sassypopkids Catch up


So much has been happening at Sassypop Kids since August when I last did a blog. Two months ago, that is shocking - I am so sorry to have been so slow. But today I will get on track. School holidays put things on hold sometimes and today for the first time in ages I have a week day to my self. My daughter will finish Kinder at noon and then is going to a friends house for a play so I have a whole day to work uninterrupted.

In September outside markets began again in Melbourne in a big way. School fetes start happening and lots of people are out and about. Sassypop Kids returned to the Yarra Valley Food and Wine Market at the Yarra Glen Racecourse, second Sunday of each month and the crowds have been out and about. See our site http://www.sassypopkids.com.au/ for a list of market dates. In October I took to this market all our usual lovely toys plus a table of wonderful handmade lovely items - knitted dolls from a clever friend of mine Michelle, beautiful sun hats and funky shower caps, some great felt cats from a lovely lady I met at the Sisters Market and the best t shirts done by Caroline. The stall looked so colourful and great - the sun shone and it was a lovely day out.
