The market and me

What an exciting weekend! I had my first attempt at floral arranging and selling it to the public at the Hazelwood food market in Pretoria. I almost sold everything as the people loved all the designs. The weather was perfect, cloudy and not to warm, thus keeping my flowers very happy. I know now what sells better and what works for the public. I cannot wait until next week, maybe I will sell out and actually make some profit.. I kept the stall clean and simple and the flowers became the main attraction. Here are some photos of my debut.
 
          
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
 

With every purchase I handed out a hand-made brooch or arm corsage made from net and fabric. The people, especially all the girls, loved it and they wore them immediately. What good advertising.

I also just want to thank my mom for believing in me and a very happy birthday for Tuesday!!! I know you will have a wonderful day!
Now the next challenge is to find a way to keep the flowers cool and  happy on those hot, summer days. Any suggestions?
