Such lovely photos!

Lime Green Bean had such an awesome time at The Fat Olive Organic & Craft Market this past Saturday. I met some fantastic people and it was so lovely to feel part of a community. I will definitely go again when I can :)

I wanted to take some photos of my stand, but.. as luck would have it my cameras batteries were totally flat! Fortunately Tiaan was super kind and offered to take some for me. He has a whole bunch of other photos of the market on his blog, so be sure to have a look!

Aren't they lovely? Thanks so much Tiaan!!

Hope you all have a super day!

A lovely Market Day!

Lime Green Bean was delighted (to say the very least) to be at the Blos Mark this past Saturday.

It was amazing – the atmosphere was so relaxed and really reminded me of my many years in Cape Town!

There was so much fun for the kids and they were literally standing in queues to have their faces painted and when I saw how amazing they looked, I kind of wished I could have mine done too!!

There were also balloon animals for all the kids and of course the piñata was an absolute hoot! It took many a man to get that piñata open, but you can just imagine the elation thereafter!

Lime Green Bean stand

I really, really loved being there – the people were so friendly and loved my Lime Green Bean goodies – thank you all for your amazing support!

I just loved my little “shop” for the day – I worked really really hard, but it was SO worth it!

The Onesies were a real hit!

Lots of felt food and handmade clips!

Felt food display.. good enough to eat!

Bean Buddy Brooch kits

The market was perfectly organised and everything was beautifully presented and catered for. The Jazz band was awesome, and everyone brought their blankets and just relaxed under the big trees and had a really relaxing day .. and the food.. oh .. don’t get me started on the food..

I am happy to say that Lime Green Bean will certainly be at the next Blos Mark and I really hope to see you all there!

Take care,
Bean

Getting Ready for the Market!



I have been so so busy sewing up a storm to get everything done for the Market on Friday (My first real market! YAY!) .. and to make matters worse on Friday I had the most brilliant idea to create a kit where people can make their own brooch / pin.. so.. I have made a ton of these little "Bean Buddies" to include in the market..

 



Here are some of the new "Bean Buddies"




 



More "Bean Buddies"









Cutting Labels...







The Idea is that people can create their own personality for their Bean Buddy. The kit comes with everything you need to create one, as well as some cool ideas for different personalities!

It's SO easy-peasy to make - even kids can make them and its pretty fun too!!



Here they are! Some samples for the market to give people ideas!



Here are all the goodies I will be taking to the market people tomorrow..



Lots of goodies!



All packaged and ready to go!

I know it may not seem like a great deal of stock.. but considering it takes up to 40 min (with "skilled hands" heehee) to just make 1.. yes ONE felt cup cake for example, you can imagine how many hours of love went into these goodies..

So wish me luck and lets hope we make many sales, and many little people happy!!

Oh yes, and before I forget.. all these goodies are available for sale on my website: http://www.limegreenbean.co.za/  Happy Day!
