Sydney’s Finders Keepers Market 2012

The past weekend was my first time ever selling my wares at the Finders Keepers Markets in Sydney.  It was such a great experience – being able to see everyone’s reactions and receiving feedback from visitors and customers.  And time really flies when you’re having a good time – it felt too short and I didn’t have enough time to go around and visit all the other wonderful stalls, but I did try to take some photos.

First up, my stall  :P

In The Midst of Preparing for…

Lately, I’ve been busy preparing stock for my first ever stall at the Finders Keepers Markets, hence the quiet blog.  The market is in a week’s time and I am getting very excited and nervous!  Stock preparation is still underway – there is so much to do – and there is the stall display as well to prepare for.  So little time, so much to do!  But I love this kind of busy…if only my online orders can keep me as busy as this, hahah.  :P

Some pics to show some of the preparation I was/am working on!  :D

After coming back from my short trip away, I decided to tidy up my workspace before turning on the turbo to prepare stock for the upcoming market.
