Didn’t time just get away from me? Last thing I remember it was the BiTM. What a flurry of activity. Between ensuring all sandbags were tethered to the marquee legs and losing 5kg by sweating up a storm (the only storm of the night, thank the non-rainy heavens) on the humid, late December night in King George Square.
Some of you may not know, but this was my first markets in my own marquee. This was purchased only the week end before, but the shelleyberelli clan had a practice run on the driveway, so we knew, (between friendly, teasing neighbours calling out “is that an approved body corporate structure?”, being rebuffed with “I’ll get you evicted if you don’t stop your cat poo-ing under the ‘common property’ hedge”*.. ahh, the joys of high density, townhouse living,) we’d be right on the night.
And what a busy and fun night it was. I am sad that I didn't get to go an explore
the rest of the market, particularly Burnett La and the holiday projections.
A lot of people I spoke to had just come from there or were heading there
after they left our market section (on the ramp), so it's great to see that
the marketing and sign-posting were so effective.
From where I stood and the little glimpses I took out of my marquee, the
rest of the show looked spectacular and I'm loving hearing how much of a
great night everyone had. These last few markets have been exhausting,
but so worth it, particularly catching up with everyone and also
feeling/being part of such a great community - of both BrisStylettes and shoppers who support local, handmade goodies. Thanks one and all for a great market and a rewarding year.
