Sunday was the day our village Christmas market was held. We were all up early and busy setting up our displays. My 3 neighbours and I had booked two tables between us, so it wasn't too difficult to fill them with only half a table each.
I took my wheel and spent most of the day spinning, which attracted quite a bit of attention and lots of people stopped to take photographs.
There was a steady stream of people in the morning, and the afternoon was quite busy. Santa was there (I told him what I'd like for Christmas and he said I needed to write him a letter . . . and gave me a chocolate instead), and guess what? I won a prize in the raffle - a memory stick for my computer!
So, what were we selling? Well, there was Victoria's jewelry and dolls :-
and Sheila's knitted children's clothes (that's the clothes that are knitted, not the children!):-
Tammy had some lovely felted and sewn things for sale (and Rob had made some wooden lathe-turned items, but I don't seem to have any decent photos of those) :-
and I was selling handspun wool, some knitted items, felted soaps, lavender wands etc.
I use the term "selling" loosely - in fact I didn't sell a single thing! Oh, except a little beaded Christmas tree ornament that my sister had sent to put on the stall. Oh well, you win some, you lose some!
Actually, I really wasn't upset at all that I didn't sell anything. Whilst packing the basket with balls of wool I kept thinking "I hope no-one buys this one, I really like it", and "ooh, this one would make a really nice hat". I think it was a good experience to see all of my yarns together to realise what I had and see which ones went well together. So yesterday I started knitting - what fun!!
