brilliant women and the plagarist


you already know how lucky i am to have a mum who is a nifty patchworker
but check out just how nifty she is !
here is the new banner for my market stall
yup - my mum made it !

After dodging the Evandale Market Mafia with Mum,
 (yes you heard right not all market stall holders are friendly)
we had a good day
met some really, really  nice visitors, 
some equally wonderful local artisans,
talked the talk about our trees, 
and drank way too much coffee

Three great things about this market
1. I had my banner
2. I scrapped the pennies together and bought a marque
3. I flogged Mrs.Smiths idea for my stand (enter the plagarist)

My equally nifty dad was able to rustle up this stand, 
based on a photo
all painted and ready to go
talk about helping hands !


so the brilliant women that abound about the blogosphere continue to
inspire
me
 this time on a practical level,
take mrs.smith she posted the original brilliant stand that Mr Smith made her
it answered my problem about use of vertical space at markets 
thanks mrs. smith !
