A MadHatter's Tea Party

This past weekend I tried out a new market.Although the market was much bigger than the Hazelwood Market, I barely sold anything. But on the bright side, I gave out so many business cards that I ran out before the end of the day. So if even one person calls me back for an order, it was definitely worth it. 

The theme for this week was a MadHatter Tea Party and I made little hats (with the help of a dear friend) and used darker colours for the arrangements. Black and white ribbon and paper complimented the theme and all the kids loved the sweets that was placed in between the flowers.

If I look on the bright side of things, we had a beautiful table set for Saturday evening's bachelorette at my house and all of the flowers complimented the French theme. So it was not a total loss!!


I am going to stick to the Hazelwood Food Market for the next while, as I have built up a relationship with some of the people who visit the market regularly.

You will have to wait and see what the theme will be for this week. On the job hunting side, no luck yet but maybe April will be my lucky month so hold thumbs!!!



See you again next week and have a wonderfully colourful day!

Another Hazey-Day

I had another successful weekend at the Hazelwood Food Market. There is so much enthusiasm and interest for my flowers that I cannot help but smile ;) Although the sales were not profitable (I know I am too reasonably priced), I can see that there is a great need for this type of product and floral arrangements.

I am going to try a different market this coming weekend. I am considering market-hopping until I have established a solid client basis. Hopefully it won't take too long as I cannot keep up with printing enough business cards each week.

On the other hand, I am still looking for work as an Interior Architect, but have had no luck. But until then I am okay with just being known as the Flower Girl.
