Our First Craft Market

A couple of weeks ago i did my first Market (The Ideas Trunk show) as new owner of Peg & Thread. I had a 2x2m space, and it being quite a drive from where i live, i packed everything, but the kitchen sink to make sure my stall would measure up. My niece was going to help, but unfortunately could not make it, so i was on my own. This was a bit dawnting. Set up went well and the two days of trading brought lots of friendly faces and positive feedback. I met some wonderful people (traders). It really is a community of crafters, all willing to help and support each other, well almost all....

Happy Crafting to all

The Mommy City

Two weeks ago i had the previlige to share my new business venture with Sarah from the Mommy City Blog. We ran a give away on her blog, which i found very rewarding and beneficial to my business. My Facebook page has grown from 390 likes to 575 in the last 3 months. I realize how important it is to network with like minded bloggers and business owners to give yourself and your business better visibility. As i do not have the extroverted personality, this is the challenging part of the business for me. I'm sure as i go along this will get easier, but luckly there are wonderful people like Sarah who are willing to support us, small business owners. So to all of you who lay awake at night, thinking about starting your own business. If i can do it so can you.
