Well the weather wasn't as kind to me as the first market and had to borrow a gazebo as it just started to rain as I was setting up ggrr.. anyway Neville(manager of the market) came to the rescue with a spare gazebo which nearly took off with a massive gust of wind and nearly ended up in the canal at least it didn't and we could laugh about it..not many peeps about but surpringsly I did better this time but I was prepared with my lavender soaps and they flew out the baskets and again soaps from my bargain basket disappeared as fast as I could say lavender soap(mm wonder what it is about lavender that appeals to peeps so much) don't get me wrong I really do like lavender but preferably blended with another or several essential oils but hey ho each to our own and I'm truly not knocking peeps for buying it not at all... and I have to keep my customers happy I want them back!
Aaww I saw loads of doggies again and even had my fix of cocker cuddles and held back those tears...so all in all I had the best of both worlds made some dosh met and chatted to loads of lovely people and out in the cold fresh air and it did stop raining for me .'.til next time x
No matter how much Lavender soap we make, it'll never be enough for the lavender crazed crowd. What is it with that scent? I mean..it is lovely, but hello? Why not go for something that is less plain Jane, yanno? Lavender sells out each and every year at my markets as well....to the point where I have seriously contemplated making Lavender soap ONLY. How boring would that be, 'tho? For your next market, make double the amount of Lavender and you'll still not have enough. The bet is ON!
ReplyDeleteHaha your so right Coco bong and the bet is on!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Edith, you are going from strength to strength. Your soaps really are lovely and word must be getting around - remember to hand out your business cards even to customers who don;t buy anything - they will probably look up your website at a later date.
ReplyDeleteThanks Polly..that's a bloomin' good tip I have only been giving them to peeps who buy so thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in the C|C Wednesday blog hop again, see you next week!
ReplyDeleteFunny. Lavender and me aren't best friends either but it routinely is our best selling essential oil. There is definitely something about lavender that motivates people to buy and anything that motivates people to buy? I want a part of =)) Congrats on the successful market!
