This is what is called Mixed Emotions, Set up at the Market yesterday for the 4 day weekend which starts today and Have already sold my African Violets. Now no one else will see them and I won't get any orders. I have though printed off the photos so I can at least show people

To bad the lady wouldn't let you keep them until after the market so you could mark them as sold and still have them to show. They were so lovely and I can see why they were snatched up so quickly. Hope this is an indication of the wonderful market you will have. Happy Easter.

I am never quick enough to think of this. The Lady who received them came today to say thank you for the beautiful African Violets. At least I know they are going to a good home.

Thank You. Started off very slow but certainly made up for it later. Question --- Do Craft people get out of bed late? Even at a normal market I start off slow.

Thank You. I nearly didn't make them as I wasn't sure I would have time. Glad I did.

Well congratulations Lyn, I thought they were lovely. Next time keep one with SAMPLE TAG on it so when all are gone you will have that left for others to see, if someone wants it just tell them they have to wait to last day of sale and if they want to pay you you can put their name on it.. Hope you do as well withy everything else Lyn/Lillian

Lillian, you are one smart cookie.

This is a good idea. Too late for this year now but will keep it in mind for next year.

I am not surprised they sold so quickly, they were beautiful. Keeping a sample is a great idea. Good luck with the rest of the market

Perhaps you can quickly make up one flower and show the picture of the bouquet in the flower pot..that way they could see how beautiful they are "in person"...

are the designs you used from Pam3D or Embroidershoppe or somewhere else?I just can't seem to get around competing with silk flowers. These are so much more time consuming as well as handcrafted. Gorgeous. I have 2 flower boxes in my kitchen that needs to be filled.

In my African Violets I used the Flowers from Embroider Shoppe and the leaves from Pam's 3D Designs.
