I just got back this afternoon from another weekend in the ‘big city’. I went to attend my first Farmer’s Market on Saturday at Trout Lake. I took all the stock that I had, mostly so that I had a few extra hands (mom, sister, Nonna) to help me tag everything. I did not expect the kind of response that I got at all, it was pandemonium! I almost sold out of stock aside from a few lavender cuddlies, pouchies and blanket dolls. I’ve never had a sale like that, not even at Christmas time. Whoo! Brakes on the ‘mom bomb’ can now be fixed! I wish that I had a camera with me.. I forgot it at home this time. Thank goodness my lovely sister Laura was there to help out, I couldn’t have done it without her.. thanks Laura!
So, now I have only 3 dolls that I left here at home because they wouldn’t fit in the bin. I will have them up on Etsy at some point this week, not my usual Friday, I’ll post them sooner. It looks so empty here in my work room now with all my girls gone. I think it’s going to be a while until I get some more dolls made. It’s official, Julie -my lovely Julie who helped me with the dolls so incredibly much, has gone on another path and has become a psychic reader. Yes, really. You can book in with her at Mystiques Emporium in Duncan. I will find all the information out soon and post it, she is very good. Then, my very lovely and loved childcare lady Rachel has left to become a Reiki practitioner. These events were my ‘curveball’ that I mentioned in a previous post- these two ladies are why I can make dolls right now. I’m currently looking for some childcare and I’m in the process of training Jackie to help me with the dolls… yeah!! It’s all good, just a little setback. It’s just the next step.
