It's off to market we go!

What a crazy few weeks it's been! Between doing the Hide & Seek Market and a local school market, starting a new part time job and the usual running around after the family - there's been very little time to blog!  There has, however, been some progress on the crafting front which I'm very excited to share!  I've received three requests for custom orders - one via Hide & Seek, one via my Etsy store and one via my lovely hairdresser!

So ... armed with that encouragement I'm off to market again this Saturday 11 September with my friend Tracey from Ben and Jess.  We'll be at the Meadowbank Public School Market Day, Thistle Street Ryde NSW from 9am until 3.30pm - hope you can drop by and say hello!  I'll be taking all my current Made by Jenine Etsy stock with me plus my latest Party Package - here's a sneak peak!

Hide & Seek Market Launch

I had a lovely day yesterday at the launch of the new Hide & Seek Market.  With MrJ's car full of our handmade creations and with the help of Nellie the Nav"Woman", Tracey and I made our way to Kellyville to spend a fantastic Sunday with some very clever crafters and craft loving customers.  It was great to finally meet Aloma who has done an amazing job organising this event and the other stallholders - all of whom were just as excited to be there as we were!  The new Hide & Seek Market website is now up and running - I think there might be some photos from the launch on there soon - hop on over and take a look when you get a chance.  In the meantime - here's my amateur attempt to capture the Made by Jenine and Ben and Jess stall.

Coming Ready or Not!

Just a quick post today as I'm busy putting the finishing touches on my stock for the Hide & Seek Market this Sunday 25 July - don't forget to check it out here - it's going to be fantastic!

I've made lots of banners before - banners for birthdays, for Christmas, for new bubs - but I've never made one for myself!  Well last night I did and I just quickly took a photo before it started to rain to show you!

Thanks to Lorna from Paperbag Marketing Specialists I've recently learnt (amongst other things) that one very important part of any fledgling small business is to create your image or your brand - well I've got the business cards, the labels for packaging and now I've got a banner!  It's off to market we go!!

So come along to the Hide & Seek Market this Sunday to meet myself and my friend Tracey from Ben and Jess - we'll be sharing a stall together - having coffee and cupcakes  - and enjoying being a part of something very special in the Hills District.

Something New for Hide & Seek

I've been having a lovely time lately making these Vintage Inspired Dress Banners.  I'm hoping to have lots ready for Hide & Seek - which by the way is now only 25 days away!

Tracey and I had a practice run at setting up our displays at a market over the weekend - here's mine - I think it looked very pretty but there's always room for improvement!
