(Sorry this photo and the next a bit out of sequence ... this is tonight's moon and it looks like it is trapped in the bark of the tree... the real photo looks better, oh and it's 9pm and it's still 29c ... not that I'm complaining at all... lol)
Indi & Shadow playing tug-o-war with a bit of old carpet... they are worse than kids they only want what the other has ...
Good news no real African challenge appeared after all this week, so that was a relief ... but that didn't mean I didn't have a bit of a weird weekend ...
Saturday I decided to add another 2 colours to my Handbag Bling ... as per the photo ... lovely golden oranges and very bold reds (not my favourite colour but I do love The Queen of Hearts, I know red and heartys just what the hell is wrong with me, maybe missing my man LMAO!!!)
I'd heard from some folks about a Sunday Craft Market here in Hillcrest so took the plunge and got more info ... mum and I collected some bits from the storage place for me to sell and the plan was to give it a try. I gave my sister-in-law Penny (fairiesonline.co.za) the info and she opted to join me on Sunday... WELL the phrase Only in Africa just doesn't say it loud enough !!!! (Glenis you're gonna fall over laughing at this)
We arrived at 9am to set up:- market was from 10am - 3pm there wasn't a soul in sight ??? I phoned the 'organiser dude' "oh don't panic the others all know what they're doing and they'll start arriving about 9.30am" by 9.35am there was 1 other stall holder - also a new lady who had never been to this market before and had just heard about it ... another dude 'Billy the Wood Man' arrived and 9.50am cursing much better and telling us this was a waste of his f...#x%g time ...
AND FOLKS THAT WAS IT !!!!!! I know you're all rolling around on the floor pissing yourselves laughing !!!! I have done some weird 'markets/shows' before in my life but this definitely takes the 1st Prize for WEIRD!!!! The organiser arrived at 10am ,wanted to know where everybody was ... he had a stand to set up for himself so in total we were 4 stalls ... but it gets even better ... we were there 3 hours and we did not see a soul (ooooh I lie Mum and Irena popped in to see if we needed any help HAAhAAAhAAAhAAAAA a slight dose of hysteria there !!!!)
Below :Penny's latest babies - Fugglies ... she makes them out of Fimo and they are so ugly they are cute ... you should see their eyes... they look so real and she is getting better each time she makes them .... of course I have my own 'Fuggly - he is purkle of course)
Just to prove we didn't give up we still set up our stand and sat around in the 34c heat waiting for customers !!!!!
Needless to say we didn't stay till 3pm we packed up by 1pm after not having had a single customer ... but we made 2 new friends and got some other contacts for other 'successful' craft markets (ha! ha!) Penny's going to do some investigating ... keep watching and laughing !!!
When I got home I was soooo hot, I had to strip off ... have a cool shower and just lie on the bed :-) (I was up early this morning and you know I don't do mornings ;-D) Kelsey ended up in the pool this afternoon and I woke up about 4pm ... still hot !!!
Luckily for me Aunty June had volunteered to cook dinner tonight so the rest of my Sunday was very lazy ... and we spent the best part of the night (dusk) sitting outside with sun downers !!!! yummy .... :-D
