Sunday Craft Market

I did a lot better on Sunday. As a matter of fact I did so well, it almost made up for the two Sundays that were a bust. I didn't take my spinning wheel as I'm trying to finish knitting a shawl I would like to wear to my nephew's wedding next month. I can't believe he's getting married. I'm sure it was just last week I was changing his diaper.

I took my mannequin head and displayed a lovely headband, neckwarmer and fingerless mitts set. It didn't sell but I did get a lot of compliments on it. When it's just flat on the table no one even notices it.

I also took my six month size baby doll and dressed her in a cute bonnet, jacket, panties and booties. In spite of setting out a "Doll Not Included" sign numerous little girls and one little boy asked if the doll was for sale.

I'm asking $20.00 for the Cradle Purse. I put it front and centre in hopes some spoiled little girl would be taking it home but in spite of it being mauled and man...er...I mean girl handled, there were no parents nor grandparents feeling generous enough buy it.

As five to six hours of knitting can become a bit tedious, (Yes, even for me.) I found myself people watching. I saw far too many women of all ages in waaay too tight tops. I also saw some beautifully dressed ladies. I saw lots of pooches being walked and recognized quite a few of them as Sunday regulars. I gazed longingly at the numerous ice cream cones being carried past and prayed they wouldn't stop at my booth to drip their frosty deliciousness on my wares. I glared at anyone with a lit cigarette. Fortunately there aren't many that ignorant. I watched a new mother and father, handing off their newborn to each other to give each a chance to eat their lunch, with fond memories.

Yes, Sunday was a good day.

I don't think smoking is legal at events like that in this country. Live free!

Most smokers light up at a bench about 12 feet away but I'm always up wind of them. Then there is the odd bozo who lights up at one of the outdoor tables intended for use by customers of the eating establishments. I must find out if there is no smoking allowed around there. I would have no problem telling the moron to move it or butt it out.

I am surprise that Angel has not made her demands known in person. Don't you love people watching? What was your big seller?

I don't have a lot of any one thing. On Sunday I sold:
1 pair of fingerless gloves
2 skeins of wool
1 hooded baby sweater
1 baby toque
3 dishcloths

Glad you had a good day. Would have liked to see a photo of the doll and the mannequin head.

Sorry Kev, but it's already spent on a wedding gift for my nephew. Happy Birthday to your granddaughter.

How nice. I feel like maybe I was there. In fact, I wish I had been there. Best wishes to Angel.

I expect it would have been a lot more fun and the six hours would have flown by if you had been there. I haven't seen Angel all day although, I have heard the pet door several times and have had to replenish her food bowl.
