The Quilts that I made were not for sale , just for display
Our little cat was the best visitor, she was around the whole weekend and loved all the attention she got.
My daughter Elle who did all the bead work and me
The veranda was our stall.

We had the Arts Trail this weekend and we can say it was a big success! The weather was top, the sun was out the whole weekend , we had lots of visitors and sold heaps. It was great!
For us it started on Friday evening with organizing and putting everything where we want it. It was all in my head so we did it quite fast. Saturday morning at 10 am the Arts Trail went of and our first visitors came soon. We didn't have proper time for lunch and after 4 pm there where still a lot of people. I loved it to have a talk with everybody and everybody was happy because of the great weather. We got a lot of compliments about the garden and our little kitchen garden. We made liters of coffee and tea and served more than 100 home made muffins.
It ended on Sunday afternoon 4 pm but around 5 pm we had still some people coming.
I have to make one quilt for a lady and I sold a lot of things to a shop. (hopefully I'm in business). I'm running out of stock, so for the coming school fair (in 10 days time) I have to make a lot more. Today I was busy making more roll-up pencil cases for the school fair, but a friend who came over for a cup of tea bought them all already. The where still warm from the iron.
I was planning to stock up my Etsy shop with all the leftovers from the Arts Trail but we need it all for the school fair so later on I will stock-up my Etsy shop.
It was great and I hope to do it again next year!

Wat leuk nog een lezer in Nieuw-Zeeland. Zoals je misschien in mijn blog gelezen hebt, woont een van mijn zussen in Nieuw-Zeeland. Twee jaar geleden heb ik haar opgezocht. Wat een prachtig land! Ik kom het zeker nog een keer bezoeken. Waar woon je? Noorder of Zuidereiland? Mijn zus woont niet ver van Wellington.
Groetjes, M
Glad to hear the Arts Trail was a huge success!! Sounds like a fun and busy weekend. Well done on getting orders from a store.
Congratulations on being so brave and successful. And the same to your daughter too. Cherrie

Sounds and looks like it was a great success. Your photos are really great, made me feel like I walked around your place looking at all Elle's and your work, you must be so proud. Congratulations on the commissions. Margie.
Congratulations on the success you had with all your sales! Sounds like it was a lovely day!
I have just stumbled on your blog and have enjoyed reading.
Looking forward to more posts.
Andi :-)
wat súper om te lezen dat het weekend een mega succes is geworden!! En wie weet kun je vanaf nu full time gaan leveren voor die winkel, dat is nog eens leuk werk!
groetjes, yvonne
Owwww.... hier had ik ook graag even komen neuzen (en kopen natuurlijk!). Het ziet er heel gezellig uit en de spulletjes zijn echt prachtig, geen wonder dat het zo'n succes was!
Your quilts are so very lovely, and nice blog too! I have really enjoyed reading it.
Hallo Jacoline,
Wat leuk dat m'n blog bezocht hebt.Zelf was een poosje minder in blogland daarom kom ik nu pas bij jou op bezoek. Zo leuk om te lezen hoe je in Nieuw Zeeland woont etc.
Afgelopen zaterdag had ik zelf een
"winter-evening-sale"georganiseerd in onze tuin met verkoop van mijn zelfgemaakt woondecoraties. Het was zo gezellig en ik heb veel spulletjes verkocht! We hadden ook wintersoep gemaakt dus de bezoekers konden ook nog gezellig
soep eten.Is het niet geweldig als mensen de dingen die je zelf maakt zo waarderen ?
Groetjes, Janneke.
Leuk dat je m'n blog vond. Zeer mooie b&b heb je daar! Ziet er zeer gezellig uit, als 't niet zo ver was kwam ik eens langs. Blijkbaar hebben ze in Nieuw Zeeland ook geen gebrek aan mooie stofjes! Daarin staat België toch nog wat achter ...
Al was ik maar een weekje weg.. wat een boel gebeurd en wat een fijne dingen allemaal! Goed om te lezen dat de art trail zo'n succes was. Hele mooie spulletjes ook zeg. Heel tof! Kan me voorstellen dat een 'zaak' interesse heeft in je spulletjes! Ik hoop voor je dat dit lekker gaat lopen!
Ik kom gauw weer terug om de andere dagen bij te lezen! En we maken wat leuks van de pakketjes. Leuk!
Groetjes, lisette.
