See you there….
This will be my FIRST night market at the Biscuit Mill. Last year I went as a shopper and had a really good time - good food, good people and good fun. However this year it will be a little different as I will enjoying the festivities with my bags, standing behind.

There will be 12 designers with a wide array of fabulous creations and if that is not enough reason, then there is free champagne and delicious sushi for sale.
I look forward to seeing you there on Saturday (13th Dec). (P.S. I’ll be there all day soaking up the nice warm sun relaxing under a big tree).

I visited the Kamersvol Geskenke market this morning with my mom. We wondered around oohing and aahing at beautiful things, buying presents and then sharing lunch on the grass in the sunshine.
I took some my happy snaps to share with you:
Here are some of my favourite finds:
Skinny and Jezze had their beautiful wares popping up in different places. (Pic Below)
I loved this packaging (below) - soft tin sewn together with wire and lined with loose tissue paper to package bath soaps.
Aren’t these brooches and medallions gorgeous (below). If they were not material I would have wanted to eat them they are in such yummy colours.
Isn’t this a lovely flower display … (below). Aloes and other plants alike in old food tins and other odd pots such as chamber pots.
It was so much fun wondering through corridors and discovering the different areas of the market. To see more pic’s visit Jesse’s blog.
The even is definitely worth visiting. It is open for five days but I would advice that you go before the weekend if you can becuase it was already jam packed when I was there this morning.
On Saturday Wren had a stall at the designergoods market in Salt River and it went very well.
It is a completely different experience selling off-line. I was extremely (and unjustifiably) nervous but after I sold my first bag I relaxed and had a lot of fun. I met some great people and saw some fantastic things (I could have spent all my money there in two ticks). Instead, I made my Christmas list. It was all so new and wonderful to me that I completely forgot to take photo’s - I’m sorry. I promise that next time (Sat 18th Oct) I will take some pictures.
Description of my stand: I had two wooden hatstands full of bags, wooden crates stained with old oak that Jeremy’s dad had organized for me with glass tops and a small mat. It was very simple but it worked well.
However, there are a few things I learnt that I will apply at my next Saturday market:
These are simple things I forgot, but non-the-less, it was a very successful and I am looking forward to next Saturday.
