Folks are enigmatic

Such a long time since I blogged that I smacked my hand...Oww! Won't try that again.

I started my market stall at the beginning of June and it was quite a rush as I had thought of started on June 23rd. However I seemed to be a success and was encouraged to try another day - Monday - as well. Not such a good day but still profitable.

I set up an excel list of each item I sell and put in the sales of each day hoping to get some idea of trends. But folks are enigmatic! What sells out on one day sometimes doesn't sell again for ages, and what had been passed by suddenly is popular...go figure!

This means I have to trundle ALL my stock to the market and back, in a suitcase with wheels, so that I can please most of my customers. However, only one item does not please and that is the Baby Sleep hearts, so I've taken the words off the centre and substituted little velvet flowers, which seems to get their attention.

Some customers have time to stop and chat and I've been regaled with some very funny stories. I also got quite a few compliments on the layout of my stall and the fact that I have such a wide variety of choice within the lavender theme.

I have to get down on my knees and pray for bad weather now, so that customers come to the market instead of the beach...naughtly of me, I know, but I have to help my business grow, don't I, and it's only for two days.

Well, back to work making stock...
