Getting Ready to Trade

I am getting back into this whole blog thing, which is good as it's helping me keep track of everything!

This weekend we are trading at a Jubilee craft fair, and I am very excited. Nowhere near as nervous as I was for Leeds Steampunk Market. So far I've revamped the labels for the stall, and decided exactly what other than my steampunk stuff will be going on to the stall. Mother has kindly made me some tutu's which should be popular.

When I get ready to trade, I always make sure I do a before and after to do list, and make sure there is one in my car and one in the house/workroom. That means that I know exactly at any point what's happening and I can keep a track of what I've done and what I haven't. I've filled the book with ideas from the last market, so I do things like remember to take the sign with me and remember to pick the paste table up and remember to clean my car out afterwards and all those other jobs I hadn't even thought about last time!

We're taking the large mannequin and one of the large, costume outfits to essentially get us some attention! I'll be equipped with jewellery kits and prices for lessons, mainly. I am trying to get 3 or 4 more people to take lessons, as I do love teaching people to sew since I love it so much. It makes me very, very happy!

I'll no doubt review it and take a load of photos whilst I'm trading etc, so you'll all get to see how I get on!
