Buying and Selling

So, this was my little pitch at the Pick n Mix Makers market at Holt in North Norfolk yesterday.

My assistant for the day, (Mr PotterJotter), and I left home at the ungodly hour of 8a.m. in order to get there in time to set it all up. I am not a morning person, so when he starts singing along (every single word!) to Mr Tambourine Man on the car radio, declaring 'What a great start to the day!', I do inwardly wonder 'Great for whom?'.

I was quite happy with the overall look of my bit - quite bright and fresh and cheerful. One of my first visitors was Dosie Rosie, whose blog I pop into regularly.
It was so lovely to meet and chat to her in person.

I have to say that I was amazed at the wealth of craftsmenship on exhibit in that one hall. The above is Heart of Glass - gorgeous stained glass pieces, one of which I just had to have - this little fishy below.

It was great fun chatting to all the other stall-holders, but it was thirsty work and regular cuppas were washed down with helpings of this little lot, (I didn't want to but Mr PJ made me!), courtesy of Daisy Boo's Kitchen.

I also got me this gorgeous felt brooch from Planet Penny, another fellow blogger who I had met but not in person.

And there is the lady herself behind her really pretty stall.

It was such a fun day, with so much talent on view. Here are Celia Hart's prints and illustrations.

and another pretty stall called Glory Days, who also have a shop in Norwich.

All great fun, and what's more, I did not spend all my profits buying other people's wares .... because .... we just swapped instead!

They chose something of mine they wanted, and I chose something of theirs.

So, everyone went home happy!!
