My first outing of the year to sell my cards and I decided as the weather was so good on Sunday last to travel the 30 miles or so to Exeter Livestock Market and set up a stall there. Got off to a flying start and sold 20 plus cards before 8am. By the end of the morning I had sold 110 cards as well as some junk brought from home.
I am so pleased with this as this was a brand new venue for me and I was a bit unsure how it would go.
Being Mother's day I did sell at least 20 cards to lads, I made a conscious effort not to make Mother's Day cards as such, but when asked for them offered the box of blank cards and stuck a 'Happy Mother's Day' peel off on for them. That way I do not get left with loads of cards no use until next year.
Lots of ladies asked if I would be there next Sunday, but looking at the weather forecast my trip south looks in doubt. I will go again, roll on the next fine weekend.

Hi Brenda,
Apart from the 5am start and the cold it was a lot of fun. I met so many lovely people and took orders for the following week. I think this will become a regular outing.
