This was our "doubling down" weekend, where Lana and Sandie attended the market at D-Coy Armouries, and I attended the Grovedale market.
D-Coy started at 4 pm on Friday and Grovedale at 6 pm. Lana and Sandie did a great job with set up on their end. My hushand Dan helped me with mine.
Both markets were busy on and off and ended at 9 pm. Saturday, we were back at it again, this time both of us having the same start up times. However on Friday evening, the Grovedale market organizer asked with we vendors wanted to come an hour earlier as there was to be a hockey game around then and we were all on board for that. But, when we arrived the next morning we discovered that the hall had no power due the wind storm from the night before. We were lucky at home not losing power. We were still recovering from the 42 hour outage we had a while back. So, what to do? Wait it out, go home? We didn't know. So, we ended up taking a spin over to D-Coy until we knew if the Grovedale market would continue or not.
D-Coy was just getting rolling by the time we got there. We hung out a while, helped out a little (bathroom breaks, walk-abouts, etc). Then around 11:30-ish we got the call that Grovedale power was back on so off we went headed back for the rest of the day.
Well, I have to say that my new chicken oven mitts are a hit! We started out with 12 and by the end of it all, there was only 1 left.
It took a few days to get ourselves sorted out after everything was overwith, and a little time to rest from it all too.
All in all we had a great time and sold lots of stuff.
What's next? Clairmont Christmas is this Friday and Saturday! We will have 2 tables. I am busy this week making more of the also popular secret pouch scrunchies, and of course more chickens!
Clairmont is 4 to 8 pm on Friday and 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday.
