making it up as i go along

modflowers: bunny boy hanging ornamentOne of the funny things about doing stalls is that you never really know in advance what is going to sell.

I can get some idea, sometimes, from people’s reactions to blog posts, or to photos shared on Facebook or Instagram.

But really, there is no accurate way of predicting how that will translate into real-life sales on stall days.

Consequently, I still end up making too little of some things and too many of others.

They did capture a few customers’ hearts.

But I still have some left, even after adding pompoms to some of them, so they would feel a bit more pixie-ish, and hence more at home dangling from a tree branch.

You can find them hanging around there, should you be inclined to give one of them a home for the festive season, or know someone else who might like to. ♥
