Maderlay festival Little River 2008

Last October I decided to try my hand at selling my beautiful Paua Stems and Brooches at the Manderlay Festival held on the Manderlay Estate just on the egde of Little River township, which is on the road that takes you to Akaroa on Banks Peninsula of the South Island of
New Zealand.
Anyways It was a good two days of exhibitors baring their Art and craft wares.
I learned how to tie down my display table and easil and prevent it from blowing away like Mary Poppins.....as the wind tried its very best to test me.

I had the help of two lovely and generous woman on the first day (as I had to work at polling day for the elections). Ann who helped me prepare the flower bases for Manderlay as well as help out on the first morning of the first day and she was then taken over in the afternoon by Tania and her mum who also battled the wind and saving of my craft product. Well done Chaps!! Your both big star's in my heart!

All and all it was nice to be trying the sales of my craft at a fair to see how it panned out to do so.

Mental note...next time get a stall at the beginning of the fair where all the people past you first. As where I was and others were...peoples general comment was that they would buy but had already spent their monies.....



All and it is was a great experience!!
