And so we drift along...

Not being very up to date with these blog posts, I fear, but have great resolutions to do better. (If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, my road there has mosaic on the pavements!)
But the life of the small shop on the farm is running smoothly. We do have some customers, which is always a good thing, and apparently word is spreading, which is an even better thing.
But today I was sitting in the shop all alone (Belinda had a day off) and I did think that perhaps we should speed up this slow process of letting people know we are there, so I have made some little posters and some tiny black and white flyers that we must now distribute. Maybe even a mail drop! Eek! Getting quite serious now.
And we are going to have a market in our shop garden next Saturday (9 April) to entice new people in, and also to give some of our friends a space to sell their wares.
I'll post pics of it afterward. So far we have Gabi selling her pure wool children's jerseys, Sue selling her groovy bags, Zelda selling her delicious food and her mum's charming knitted toys, Leigh selling her necklaces and her fresh muffins, Shire selling her collectibles... and hopefully even more people will turn up with their wares. It's not every shop that has a garden so we intend to use it!
