Another week has come and gone and this is the first chance I have had to do a ramble. This week I had 2 days away from home one was a visit to my supplier and the other was delivering orders and doing some shopping for the market stall. Couldn't find what I was looking for in the shops so will now resort to waiting until the item comes available online.
The rest of the week I spent putting orders together and one day with a friend looking for a campervan so that she can go off travelling whenever she wants.
We have been to 3 Markets so far and renewed our acquaintance with all you wonderful customers after having 2 months off. It is so nice seeing you all and chatting to everyone.
Our year is divided up into Markets for 3-4 months March until June usually the first weekend in June is all we do then we have June and July off and go away in the caravan
if all goes well. We start back in August at the Markets and go through until Christmas time. January and February are usually spent at home restocking the shelves for the next round of Markets. You can still order online during January and February and we do free delivery in a wide area from Ipswich to Toogoolawah and Toowoomba and surrounding areas. I do take limited stock when we travel so if you are really desperate can probably put a small order together and post it from where ever we are at the time.
What are you doing over Easter? I want to get outside weather permitting and fertilise all the garden as well as weeding and planting out a couple of bottlebrush trees. I have to do it in small amounts as to much bending or squatting and I will be flat on my back with sciatica and back pain. Grrr! getting older sure is restrictive to an avid gardener.
At least the weather is reported to be milder so I will still enjoy it no matter how much time I am out there for.
Of course we also have a Market on Saturday so come along to the Toowoomba Showground and visit the Toowoomba Farmers Market. This is the last one to be held at this venue then it is moving to Cobb & Co near the windmills just up the road from Queens Park a much more central position. It will also be going to fortnightly from May onwards but we are committed elsewhere so will only be there on the 4th Saturday of each month.
Have you seen the new products that are up on Facebook and the website. I am wrapped in both of them. One is a Laundry Stain Stick and is just so good at getting stains out of your clothes by just wetting the stick and rubbing it onto the stain before placing item in the wash. It does a great job and at $3 is very reasonable. The other one is a Facial Mist for those sticky hot days (I guess you can spray it on your body as well) . It is lovely and refreshing and scented with Rose or Lavender but there are many other scents if you don't like these. It comes in 100ml misting spray bottle that can easily fit in your handbag to take out for the day and at $7 is a real bargain.
Well that is all for my ramble I am off to the Soap Room for an hour or two then out into the garden.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE
Stay safe everyone no matter where you go and what you do and remember be kind to each other.
Blessings
