Brickworks Farmers Market , suggestions please.




Rain was forecast for last Saturday morning and I was booked at the Brickworks Farmers Market, however, it turned out to be a glorious September day.





I was moved again to a middle, open location. I have a hard time setting up in a tent, albeit a nice big one, and feel the space does not show off the sort of vintage textiles that I carry. All ideas and suggestions (that do not involve money) welcome. Heaven help me if it rains. I did add some bright old curtains to one corner, but as people approach from all sides its difficult to block off one side with a whole quilt.
How can I make this bleak space look warm and inviting?








and there was also a troupe of entertainers for the younger crowd...they sure worked hard.

  1. I hope it went well for you last weekend Jan. What a colourful outfit the entertainer is wearing. Love those cardigans/jackets, they look very warm. You're a Britain to do all these markets, it must be a big effort for you.

  2. I spy some lovely quilts on your stand. Don't worry I also have the same dilemma as you over how to display my antique and vintage textiles...I will let you know if I come up with any brain waves!

  4. Hi Jan, I understand your predicament.. i bought myself one of these tents like yours but with sides to it and i can open up 2 or 3 sides or just have the entrance open... if i were you i would close one or two sides with sheets of something similar... maybe you have some old ones at home... hope that helps.. karen

  5. Your vintage textiles are lovely. I have never did a market before so unfortunately I can not give you any advise. Thanks for visiting my blog. Greatly appreciated. Hugs Judy
