I did not sell much - a few old silver bracelets
which I wore as a.girl
I decided to separate from those little quilts -
nobody was interested
DH is keeping me company - sitting under the sunshade
See the puddle near our table? The rain was so heavy - we ran with
The potholder grew during those 8 hours in the street ---
I thought that people overlooked them and so I hang them up
on the gate - with the second cloudburst they got draining wet
- and today they are still mine
Quite a disorder on the tables - but this is a fleamarket
A lady was interested in my fabric bundles - she returned once more
and took another one - a bundle was for 2€ - very bon marché
But I admit I didn't like the fabrics anymore -
See the puddle near our table? The rain was so heavy - we ran with
plastic foils to cover things up
And used the parasol as an umbrella
Sun came up again and we were happy to have the sunshade
in its proper use
DH is playing the piano behind the fence - and what do you think
He earned 1€ - yes 1 Euro -
and is finished now. - The tablecloth is from - who do I know???
Could be from an aunt - cousin of my mother
shame I could not have come and browsed at your sales table I am sure I would have come home with lots of goodies, how good to have the piano playing in the background. Good to read the rain did not last and the sun returned but sad that the mini quilts got so wet, they look good hanging on the fence.
ReplyDeleteA flea market is a good idea, but unfortunately, it can be hard to sell items that other people might also have too many of. As for those lovely small quilts, you might need to show how they can be used (wall hanging, table mat, a pocket on a shopping bag....)
ReplyDeleteGood thinking to have plastic covers and a parasol ready.
O I would have bought some of your little quilts. Well prepared for all weather situations :-)
ReplyDeleteIm surprised that your little quilts were not snapped up by someone quickly. They are so wonderful. I would have bought some if I had been there. Good thing you had the umbrella to sit under.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day, glad the sun came out after all! I bet DH is proud of his 1 Euro! And you made a lovely potholder all the while.
