Just coming out of my post market haze - what a day! I've never done a market off my little rock before, and was feeling freaked out a little nervous about a new venue and a sea of strangers in a city I'm not very familiar with. Turns out, I had absolutely nothing to worry about as the day went off without a hitch and as an extra bonus, I had the nicest 'table neighbours' a gal could ask for.
The atmosphere and vibe at Refresh is always exciting. The structure is perfect as it boasts natural light, neutral finishes, high ceilings...nothing to distract from the vendors wares. There's live music throughout the day, activities for the kids and yummy food.
I added a couple more characters for this market - the Fisherman's Wife and the Lighthouse Keeper. The Fisherman's Wife features whispy white hair, a pretty cotton dress with patterned leggings, and a soft toque and cowl to keep her warm on the seashore while waiting for her Fisherman to return.The Lighthouse Keeper is a handsome gent with his perfectly trimmed white beard, tailored dark denim pants and thick wool turtleneck - ready to tackle the storm and light the way for the brave sailors.
My set up was pretty much the same as the last market I did, with the addition of another doll stand for mermaids and a lovely grey linen table cloth and geometric table runner. Once again, the typewriter attracted almost as much attention as the dolls (it is a great typewriter).
Now to finally stock the shop...
