..probably not to buy a fat pig, though. I seem to have had this little nursery rhyme running through my head for the last two days while I’ve been dashing about sorting out the last minute things for the big day tomorrow.
I’m feeling a little embarrassed about my lack of ‘cool’ about the whole thing, compared to all those seasoned craft marketers out there, but maybe reading about my exploits might be helpful to other market ‘virgins’ out there – and probably amuse the professionals!
I wanted my stall to BE Planet Penny, which requires grass, and sky or rather green and blue felt. And although a table is provided, I needed something to give some height, and a third dimension. So the thinking cap went on and PING! Dog food cartons! Higgins is now set up with food for the next few weeks…
Stall for Pick’n’Mix Makers Market
…and I spent a sticky afternoon covering the cartons with felt…
…and I’m pretty pleased with the result! The sheep look very happy too.
I must dash off and carry on with the preparations, not least getting Higgins ready for a sleep-over with Auntie Lizzie. I’m still debating about bathing him…maybe some doggy Febreze?
So if you are in North Norfolk tomorrow, please call in at the Pick ‘n’ Mix Makers Market and say hello, and if not, well I’ll be back to tell you all about it next week!

Oh my goodness! That does look fantastically wondrous – I think you’ll have offers for a spin-off on CBeebies 🙂
I think I’m all set – ready to load the car, make my sarnies and set the alarm clock.
See you tomorrow
