Magnolia Square

12 Mar 2011 Posted by amber - 2 Comments

It seems like an age ago but last week Down To The Woods took part in our first Magnolia Square. I wanted to write about it at the time but a nose that streams onto the keyboard and eyes spinning in different directions thanks to cold and flu meds wasn’t very conducive to writing.

I had a great time – lots of lovely fellow retailers, friendly public that heaped praise upon the stand and better yet shopped with us and angels of organisers (Nic & Metka) who not only gave us the very-most-ace stand in the venue, those gals really know how to run an event! It was so much fun and being located right next door to the yummy food by Ed Dixon really was more than just the proverbial icing on the cake.

Here are some lovely pics – as I said the posz we were assigned was simply amazing – I wonder if the St Kilda Town Hall would rent it to me? I would happily live in that amazing alcove! Actually for a moment there I thought I was going to own it after a near disaster – sorry Nic! (insert an extremely red-shamed face here).

All our goodies from the online store: paper goods, garlands furry animals. Look at that ladder – isn’t it fantastic and marvel my bravery for climbing it.

Me putting the finishing touches on the stand I love the new Giant Hugg-a-planet.

We launched our lovely Easter range and well – its nearly all gone! We’re trying to get more but it seems even our supplier has a bare cupboard.

Now for some silly awards….

Best Dressed…

Awarded to Magdalena from the Craft Revival

I wish she could have stayed all weekend as a prop - believe me her top half was as pretty as the bottom half but the dress was just so enchanting. Maybe she would swap the dress for a lamp or something?

Favourite Item for sale….

A heavenly skirt by my pals Kelly & Heidi from Heavenly Creatures . Girls can you make one in my size?

Fave stand was Naughts & Crosses (but I didn’t get a pic) and Sweet Williams

Working by myself meant I didn’t get much of a chance to look around but when I did I kept running over to look at their enchanting stand.

I also have a photo of my favourite food it was a chicken, celery and lemon mayo sandwich but I’ll spare you. I think it was all the meds that made me take that one.

Well now we are no longer market virgins and am already looking forward to taking part in more Magnolia Squares down the track! Next time I’m going to drag along more Woods Folks so I can get more shopping time in.
