I tried a new market tactic, and it worked!
I wanted to see if I could do something to sell more of the baby hats or to get them noticed more. I took a picture of my new grandson wearing one on our baby hats and made a hard copy of it and framed it nicely and placed it right by our display of the baby hats. Today we sold 4 baby hats and I am so proud of my new little market tactic, and thanks to Hunter's picture he made our display so appealing. I am not posting the pic here as I did post on here a bit ago! But I did want to report about the success. We had a very successful market today. It's not hard to tell the season of fall is bringing out customers to investigate our socks and purchase them for Christmas gifts already too!

Market going socks today!
These are the socks I wore to the market today! Another pair of shorty ribbs. I found them very comfortable as I am not the greatest fan of taller ribbed socks but I do have some and I do wear them! This pair just happen to go with so many things I own in my wardwore, and so they were fun to coordinate today. I got some comments that they looked good with my hiking shoes also.

PS I also was fortunate to chat with a lady who is from Germany and worked for the Opal manufacturer. We had a great conversation and was great to meet her.

From Europe to Here
MrB's son just returned back from Europe. On his travels he found some coarse Alpaca Yarn in Brittany France, and decided that would be a good item to bring back home. MrB was requested to knit up a pair of socks for him from his proud Europe purchase. Now the stately pair of shorty ribbed socks will be making their way to Newfoundland to test the cold winter.
