After yesterday's crazy business, today is going to be at least as busy. I have already stacked material and pre-cut material that I'll take with me tomorrow, have almost finished the obligatory name-and-company-name plaque that you have to hang on a stall by German law, and now I'm sitting writing price tags and price lists.
I'm all tensed up about how the market will go. It's the first time I actually sell (or try to sell) stuff that I haven't made to order (and to measure) myself. I have some superfine silk threads to sell, and I have managed to get my hands on a few spools of real gold thread for couching or brocading weaves. I'm so, so curious whether any of this will sell! I know that I would be all over the stuff, so it remains to find out how many others like me are roaming the market.
Oh, and just before going to bed yesterday, we found that we still have enough material left from sewing our tent to add some sort of a tarp to our equipment. Designing was done in the kitchen, between quarter to and half past eleven. Including the walk into the cellar to check how much fabric there is left. That was fun!

If I were to go the market I would buy some of both your treads and the gold :0). And I´m quite sure that there are people (red. women) outhere hwo would find your stall very interesting!
And I'd be happy to pick up what's left of the gold thread when Louise is done! If the market was held just a little closer to where I am, that is... ;-)
Ladies, you give me hope. I'll let you know whether there's thread left after the market ;)
I'm back, and with less thread than I went there. And there's another market next weekend, so I'm hopeful I'll come back with even less. Yeah.
