a day at the market | december

A bright, sunny day - perfect weather for the December market. Actually it was getting a bit hot by the afternoon, but that's summer for you. As it was the Christmas market, there was a bit of tinsel around, as well as a visit from Santa & lots & lots of people. We missed out on the cherries, but we did score the last bag of grapes...

A gloriously warm, sunny, blue-skied day for November's market - perfect late spring weather. Hilda - Mum's dress-form - came to market with us, to model one of our new aprons & I think she did a reasonable job. We had a lovely time & we're already planning for next month :)

A day of changeable weather for the September market - seems about right for the first one of spring. There was cloud, a few raindrops & even some thunder, but the sun soon came out to warm things up nicely. The wind did it's best to make off with all our stock, but we managed not to let it (mostly).

& our new bag designs were a hit :)

It has been pretty wet around here lately (to put it mildly), so with the forecast saying there was an eighty percent chance of rain, we decided to go with a spot in the hall for this month's Wirrabara Producer's Market. Although it ended up staying dry, the wind was absolutely freezing & I was very glad to get back inside after a quick walk around the rest of the market. The rest of the stalls were split about evenly between in & outside, so we weren't on our own.

We were at the Wirrabara Producer's Market again on Sunday. As well as celebrating their 100th market, they were also celebrating winning 'Excellence in Flinders Ranges & Outback Food and Beverage Tourism'  at the Flinders Ranges & Outback Tourism Awards the night before. Although it seems like we've been visiting the market forever, it also seems incredible that it has been going for eight years.

Although is was cold, it wasn't quite as freezing as I feared it would be & we had plenty of hot drinks to keep us warm. I do hope someone has the pizza oven going next month...

We took beaded jewellery, polymer brooches, felt clips & brooches, crochet berets, clips, brooches & rings, zentangle cards & hand-stamped calico bags. We've also been having fun coming up with ideas, so we should have some new things ready for next month :)
