The Market!

It was hot, it was deserted, our gazebo kept falling down. Not a good start! Because of the heat not many people came in the first place, and those that did wandered listlessly around not buying much of anything. We were discouraged. BUT in the end we did sell a few things, meet a few people and get a lot of experience about what did/didn't work, so I think the day was a success! We've decided to stick with more established markets rather than school fairs, our next aim is Torquay or Camberwell, there's sure to be people there!
Our first customer! I had to take a photo! And no, she didn't see me take the photo. And no, she didn't buy anything.

We have a display!

Crystal modeling the mehtai hanging out with her cousin Lily
Ribbon twirlers and capes are so much fun! I love the twirlers, they have a little bell attached that tinkle as you run around waving them (yes I know this because I run around waving them, Crystal and Rainbow were lucky to pry these ones off me)
Re-useable sandwich wraps - so much better than clingwrap!

After a lot of hard work and preparation, Treehugging Tots has it's first display up at my niece's kinder! Now I'm just nervously waiting to see if anyone will actually order anything, I'll be so upset if out of 56 families there is not one single order. I know if I saw our products I'd want to buy them, I'm just hoping other people feel that way too. We have cloth nappies, wands (with real crystals as the tip) ribbon twirlers, capes, crowns, pencil rolls, fairy skirts, mehtais and re-useable sandwich wraps. At least if no one buys it I have Birthday and Christmas presents for the girl's friends for a while!
