Market love

Well, I've survived 2 days at the market, Art in the Open to be specific.

Today I made 15x more than last week. Things are lookin' up!

I think it's the yarns part of GoodYarns that loves the market. Today a young woman named Princess asked if I make tuque style hats, and how much. I told her that depended on whether for child or adult, etc. She asked if I knew the movie Aquatic Life, which my daughter Holly had acquainted me with this winter. Hey, as a kid that grew up wanting to work on the Calypso, I loved that movie. Anyway the customer is looking for mom and tot Team Zizou hats - and i love this concept. Whether  this plan makes it to completion or not doesn't matter. The exchange was so hilarious.

Another customer was a lovely young lady named Holly. She tried on my oversize Gryffindor tam, and it looked fabulous on her. Anna, the vendor beside me let Holly use her mirror (gotta get me one of those - thanks Anna!) I told her my Holly, the quintessential HP fan, would definitely approve.

One returning visitor loves the HP display, and has informed me these are the Motherwell team colours.  Someone else told me if i want to sell more, tell people these are the colours of the Brampton Excelsior, the local lacrosse team.

I've given away quite a few business cards to people simply looking for knitting or crochet lessons. Gerard will be returning to a pair of half decent man slippers, navy blue.

My old neighbour John dropped by today and picked up a cute pink, jute and orange cotton ball cap for new-ish granddaughter Zoe.

It's exhausting - getting up at 5 am, which i never do. Lugging my carcass and canopy over there, hanging up my weights, setting up my bungie cord clothes lines, and then the rush to tear down.

But it is really fun. Shooting for my 10x the cost per day next week. Might just make it!
