It's a cold, wet and windy day here in Hastings. And I have to say it matches my mood, bar the fact wind usually makes me feel a little exhilarated.
Lucy and I were due to do a local retro/craft market this Saturday and had been excited about showcasing our new makes. Lucy's been busy making fantastic jigsaw puzzle cards, all very gorgeous pictures cleverly put together (pic to follow).
I've been busy making beautiful flannel cupcakes to sell as little stocking fillers/teeny presents for hosts and friends. My seven year old daughter even got in on the act and made one for her best friend. And now they are sitting in boxes in our spare rooms/hallways/trippable hazards.
Courthouse Street Market has been planned to run monthly, and is in Hastings old town, which if you haven't been is a great place for a wander, a shop, and a drink or two at a cafe come the weekend. Sadly, the street closure license hasn't come through in time this month, so the market has had to be cancelled.
Still, in a onwards and upwards route, we're discussing doing the Thursday Farmers Market in Hastings town centre on the run up to Christmas. Few fiddly bits, like potential rain to sort out, but do come along and say hello if you're about.
And if anyone has any advice about other alternative craft markets (preferably indoors in the winter), please let me know...
