coming soon...

I will be uploading photos and info about all my soaps over the next few days.
:-) Come back soon!

Sunday Market

I have never been involved with a market on a Sunday so this was my first time. Not sure how I felt about it as Sunday "trading" is frowned upon by some, especially Christians. Anyway...I really enjoyed the experience and had a nice chat with the the (younger) female stall holder, next to me. We got talking about "trying to make ends meet" etc and it was really nice to encourage her to persevere in her attempts to grow her own veggies and make food from scratch, including preserving and selling items at markets. She said she lived 15 minutes out of town and work in a cafe as a chef. Her hope was to be more creative so I hope our conversation inspired her to make the time to do the things she hope to.

I didn't sell as many soaps as yesterday but am happy to have made a few sales. I think I will go up a few times before deciding whether or not to make it a regular market day or not. next time I go there I must remember to take the camera so I can get a few photos. :-)

Market morning

Today I arose early in preparation to set up at a new market stall, just down the road from where I live. I was really happy to have many sales and some real positive feedback...even if I had a shop! Tomorrow there is another market morning in a different part of Whangarei...and was encouraged by my neighbouring stall-persons, to give it a go. AND Then there's another market on Labour weekend, at the local primary school....soooo, I need to get making more soap!
