The Christmas Market is going well, especially considering that we only found out we could do it about two weeks ago, and have had to get organised really quickly. Plus I was slightly distracted by that commission opportunity that turned out to be not quite what I thought it was….
We’re selling some work!! Which never happened before at the artist’s markets, and is rather good!
I made a large batch of traditional Norwegian pepperkaker (gingerbread) Christmas biscuits, two of which went to a visiting Norwegian!
We have a Viking re-enactor directing people to our stall, all things Nordic, but also nowhere else can you purchase Christmas cards with The Red Arrows vs reindeer designs!
I finally found time to have some mulled wine and can have a break. When we did the Christmas Market during our degree, I only had to help with the stall for one day, and contributed some illustrated cards. I was rather glad it was mostly organised by my good friend Fiona, because I couldn’t do as much with the kids. Now I just take them along if they’re not at school – my youngest made himself £9 selling Christmas tree decorations!
Tomorrow will be the busiest day, so I hope we’ll make a substantial profit.
