Last night I attended my first Revolver Designer Market. It's a bit of a bizarre thing, I've never been to a pub or bar before that has market stalls, but I liked what I saw and was more than happy to be a part of it! Thank you to everyone that popped down to see me and my stall, and thanks to all who purchased from me on the night! An extra big thank you to my husband Ty who came and sat with me (no doubt bored!) the whole night :) I was a bit nervous about the whole thing, having not done any markets before, but it worked out well and I have another one in 2 weeks (so if you missed this one, come to the next!). Thanks also to Gaby and her sister from
hopeless who were on the stall next to me and managed to answer my silly questions, being a newbie and all!
Whilst me and Ty gobbled down our yummy thai food from Colonel Tan's on our laps, without, may I say - a single drop down my top (a mean feat considering I'm usually such a clumsy grub!) I managed to sell out of wooden bunny brooches, so I will have to get busy to make some more for the next market. Also popular were rose rings and rose necklaces. Not a huge amount of sales, but the other stall holders assured me it was an unusually quiet night, and with markets, unfortuantely you have to take the good with the bad. So based on that theory alone, the next market is gonna be tops & I'm gonna make a fortune. Hehe. We'll see.
The other stalls incuded some wicked jewellery, awesome funky cards from
able and game, cool eco lighting shades from
electric firefly, and darling handmade hair accessories from
hopelessly devoted. I must also thank Amelia from
milkwood design for giving me the goss on the market before hand, so I was a little more aware of what to expect! She does awesome resin jewellery I always drool over.
SO.. If you're going to be around, make sure you come down Thursday 29th March, from 6-10pm. Bring a group of friends and make a night of it. It's a really great atmosphere, with groovy beats, cheap yummy thai food & quality beer (just $10 for jugs if that tempts you further!) or if you're more into cocktails, extremely 80's cocktails are a also hit :) PLUS whilst schmoozing and drinking, you can view a selection of handmade designer stalls, including mine! Now tell me, whats stopping you! :)
Revolver Upstairs - 229 Chapel Street PRAHRAN, VIC (sorry interstaters!) - Thurs 25th March, 6-10pm
