Every Sunday I go to the local craft market to sell my wares. Last Sunday was so blustery cold I was wishing I could dip into my stock for a toque, gloves and a warm pair of socks. I take my spinning wheel, Grunhilda, and spin away the hours. In July and August there are lots of tourists with whom I chat and demonstrate spinning. I've been attending the craft market since it first began in 2011, making this my sixth year. I find it peaceful and relaxing and will probably continue to be involved with it until my dear, sweet husband can/will no longer help me set up and take down.
Early days at the Craft Market, 2011.
Bought a gazebo and found a big pink sheet to cover the table later on in 2011.
Put up a sign and added a card table in 2012.
Bought a six foot folding table, made a bigger sign and added fabric shower curtain walls to block the sun in 2013.
I bought a second six foot table, purchased a new sign and table coverings in 2014. It was a very good year.
Got rid of the leaking, all but useless gazebo in the summer of 2015.
I'm done. I don't need to add anything. I'm just going to sit back and sell in 2016.

2 questions. Why is that beautiful shawl still available, and why are the prices on your etsy site in Norwegian krone?
Great set up - looks inviting!
Nice hobby to have in the summer.
Really great photos. Your booth looks amazing. Good luck with the season. I don't see the spinning wheel in the photo. You look adorable.
