Actually it turned out to be much cooler and the school community and the locals turned out in droves which was great given it was a public holiday. There was loads of interest in our products and quite a few sales which is always the best. It was lovely to have people say such positive things about our products. When I create things for friends and family I am always slightly suspicious that they are just being polite....but when someone hands over their hard earned dosh - I know that they must like it.
My gorgeous husband helped out at the stall too and of course was the official photographer - although we hardly had time to take photographs as people were crowding around constantly which is lovely and then the stock was depleted. I am very excited about the response the softies got - as I was uncertain about the faces - but the children (and the parents) seemed to love them.
The only slightly disappointing thing of the day - was that I had made a basketful of baby booties as I wanted to play with felt and ribbon. I did not really enjoy sewing the booties - but was very happy with the finished product. I have seen these in many magazines and around the place on the net - and I found a pattern in an old Martha Stewart magazine and modified it to be clean and simple rather than the fussy frilly bootie they had designed.
The response was incredible - everybody loved them and I sold heaps. - This means unfortunately I should and probably will make more - but I am not too enthusiastic any more about booties!
