Christmas at the market

Went back to the market yesterday and made some Christmassy balloons.

A reindeer headband, turkey, guilt-free and sugar-free candy cane, a mini Christmas tree and sculptures with santa's hat.





 

The turkey and the girl with santa's hat were sold to a lady, rather reluctantly on my part. She has 2 young children. I have my pricing up on a board that says, "Balloon scluptures cost $3-$10, give as you please." She wanted me to name a price and I asked her for $10 for both of them. She looked at me in horror and said, "Maybe $3? Here says $3-$10. Children will play with the balloons and they'll pop in a few minutes." Well, if that's how much she perceives them to be worth, then there's nothing more to say.

There were also a few takers for the new dog I learnt from ChiTwist on youtube. It is very adorable and even adults walk past going, "Aww... so cute!" Strangely enough, this simple dog earned more money than the elaborately cute turkey!
      

      
Had my first go at a camel too! A little girl's request. This family never fails to buy their two girls a balloon each every time I go. This time was a camel for her favourite soft toy. And you guessed it - a camel. She even held it steady for me to have a reference! I didn't get to take a photo of it and had to make another one at home. So, here it is!



Well, here's wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and may this season bring you God's peace, love and joy!
