Folksy Xmas Upcycle do

Last night I went to the party organised by Folksy for Christmas upcycle do at the Fellow in Kings cross.

I met a lot of nice girls who have the same hobby as me, the drinks were free, I learnt tips for marketing and I learnt how to make a flower out of men's shirts, and finger knitting...

First day @ Spitalfield market

This wednesday @ Spitalfield market was dead quiet...

Luckily I sold a hair comb to a group of 4 Spanish girls and Bettina came to visit and bought a little horse brooch.

Some people did not sell a single item... I was there from 9 am this morning after a rather slow and packed journey by train to Liverpool Street, until 5 pm, when I decided to copy the other traders and pack.

After my first day, I learnt and realised that my stall needs some improvement:

- a black curtain long enough with some photos of my models with different types of hair trying on the accessorizes

- a polystyrene head with hair and a hair clip, as some people thought these were brooches

- some black panels to display the products and pin the brooches as laying them on the table makes it flat and not visible.

I don't think its worth to go back next wednesday but on sunday I'll try the street in Bricklane full of passers by
