Apology accepted / Flea Market

The blogshop owner I referred to in my last post has apologised. So for us, the matter is closed and we'll move on.

As for the Changi V copycat, well, I'm no longer thinking much about her. God blessed us with pretty good hand painted shoe sales last Saturday DESPITE the rain and DESPITE the copycat's presence. Truly, if we put our faith in the Lord, nothing is impossible with Him.

Hey, Mike's gonna be running his stall at the Changi V Flea Market (actually it's a Pasar Malam more than anything) this Saturday 16 April 2011 (5 to 11 pm).

I can't be there cos I'll be attending the St. Gabriel Secondary School's Speech Day. Well, Mike's supposed to be attending it too but our son actually insisted that neither of us needed to be there. Though he'll be receiving 2 prizes, he'll be too busy to 'entertain' us! Well, it's true, he's up for duties so he'll be running around that day with lots to do. Guess he's right. But I'd feel totally awkward if neither of us turned up. So I'll be there a couple of hours or shorter (My goodness! How long does it take to see boys receive prizes?) then I might scoot down to Changi V after that.

Those of you who may have dropped by the previous weeks at our Changi V stall would have noted that we're actually selling a variety of stuff, not just hand painted shoes. Last week, we had an array of Country Home Decor stuff which sold quite well. Our metal hanging signs, pots and country style flowers went down very well with the crowd and the potpourri sachets. Aaahhh.....lovely smells. People kept asking us where the smell was from : ) Will try to put up pics soon.

We also had some average sized clay water features ~ erm, animals you place in a pond with water spurting out of them? For those who know, these actually cost quite alot but we were selling them for a song. Two beloved seals which Mike really loved got sold. Well, he soon got over his 'sadness' and re-stocked! He'll be selling them again this Saturday together with new creatures. All this stuff is new in condition. They aren't old stuff. Really difficult to cart there and back. I wonder how he's gonna manage on his own, poor chap. Hope he doesn't break any! He's also got a whole range of potted plants for sale. They aren't tiny ones. Pretty average sized ones and they're going for a song too. Mike is always buying plants for our home. So if he says they are cheap, they are cheap. Again, these plants are new. Not second-hand.

Where do we get our stuff from? Well, we're really dependent on Mike's ability to source. I'm sorely lacking in this area. Thank God for great husbands!

So, see you:
