DO NOT DISTURB....

i am tired, i have slept on 4 hours the last 2 nights..

im still winding down from my massive market buzz.

i have never spoektn to so many people in my life.....

i have never seen so many cars parked up and down the street in buninyong. I think there were more people around than the last gold king fest??!!!
I had people buying stuff off me from 9.30 am before i had even finished setting up..
Cakes cupcakes went in the first hour. Lucky i ate one quick! taste good
I have permenant smile lines etched into the side of my face becuase i couldnt stop smiling or talking the whole day.
i think i sat down for 1 minute on Saturday in a quiet spot...

Around 11am a coach arrived out of no where in front of the hall dropping off a whole bus load a craft consumers...
It was like the last Tim Burton exhibition in Melbourne i went to where it took me 15 minutes to waddle like a penguin back into my stall that was only located inside the front door.
Im only small.... but it definately was squishy
i hit the first $100 mark by 10.30am
I earnt more that day than one of my full days at the stitches and craft show in melbourne that was from 9am till 5pm!~! and this was only 4 hours.....
none stop...
people...
everywhere....
they didnt stop talking...
we all had to do a shuffly walk...
i think most (or all) stall holders kept skipping over to me with the biggest grins on their faces...
the cafe next door was popping out into the street and the wait was 15-30minutes...
i spoke to the guy this morning and he was very excited and offered me a free cuppa (too RIght... so he should!)
i must admit there were a few things i was a bit upset about... but ill bring that up with the band of market helpers
The council was enquiring
Gold king festival wants to team up...
local businesses want to support more...
more crowds expected next month....
we hardly did any advertising really....????!!!! just a few clever marketing strategies definately pay off
2pm came and everyone was out the dor in 15 minutes
a few of us stayed behind and helped clean up, and i was finished and keys put back by 3pm.
went home...
family was there visiting and didnt stop talking until 5pm
family left...
then both mark and i didnt stop talking about the market until 8pm..
forgot to eat all day
realised i was hungry and ate some food...

then watched a movie to take my mind off it all cos i was on such a high!!

didnt sleep at all last night.... still totally amazed at the crowd...
i dont think anyone has anything to complain about

i still havent stopped talking about it and only just cleaned up my house this afternoon.

Tomorrow im off to see Jen at Cake to tell her the good news...

And hopefully going to have a sleep in and a quiet day tomorrow.
Wifey duty catch up and baking day

and im really excited to get on my sewing machine and invent something new....

thank you to all that came

and im sorry if i was a bit aloof... i had about 3 people talking in both ears all at the same time all day

very tired

good night
