MY VERY FIRST MARKET STALL

Tracey B
by Tracey B
For the past year or so, I have planned on taking the next step in turning my little home hobby into a real live grown up small business. Life has put many obstacles in my pathway but I am getting there slowly_but_surely!
My main focus is upcycling and repurposing furniture, creating new pieces from salvaged and industrial 'junk' and rescuing gorgeous vintage and rustic wares - I look forward to sharing some of my projects with you soon.
For now I thought I would share some pics from this past Mothers Day when I held my very first vintage market stall at a local community market here in Adelaide, South Australia. It was a great experience and I would love to have a permanent booth at a Vintage/Antique market but unfortunately there is nothing like that here.
My next stall is on June 9th and I will be sharing the projects I am working on over the next few weeks.
I had lots of pretty pieces especially for Mothers Day
Everything was done on a shoestring budget - including my home made business cards and tags.
Now that I have seen the size of my stall, I can plan which furniture I will bring next time.
Vintage suitcases and linens were my best sellers.
I love vintage books
I must remember to take a larger stock of linens with me next time - they were my best selling items.
