I am officially crap at blogging! The days just seem to pass by in a blur and I realise I haven't posted anything...AGAIN!
But anyway, let me tell you about my first experience at a market.
I finally bit the bullet and decided to get a stand at The Windsor Emporioum. What a grand setting for a market! In the Guildhall, right next to the castle, looked down on by huge portraits of Kings and Queens.
I spent a few weeks before sewing my little heart out, trying to get enough bits to have for sale. The fact that I make memory quilts poses a bit of a problem in that I can't make them ahead of time. So I borrowed Callum's Quilt back from him for the day. I made up some cushions, embroidery hoop pictures and had 4 other quilts for sale too.
I was super excited by the time the first Sunday in June came around and ready to go and sell everything I had!
Unfortunately, it was the first proper hot, sunny day in Windsor so everybody wanted to be outside...NOT looking at lovely handcrafted items INSIDE! It was very quiet. I had quite a few people have a look and ask questions, several of whom took a card, but that was all. Nothing sold. Nothing. At all.
Nobody else really sold anything either though, so that made me fell better!
I did learn a lot and met some lovely people! And ate a lot of very nice cake (what else can you do when you're bored and there's lovely cake about? It would have been rude not to!)
I am planning on going to another Windsor Emporium in a few months time...maybe stop by and say Hi!
