Did you visit last Saturday’s Weaver’s Market in Trowbridge? It was quite a fun day I think, what with circus training, music, and food as well as the stalls full of handmade things. We had a good time in Emmanuel’s Yard.
I had extra help this time – I took along an old friend, Jemima. I even made her a new dress for the occasion – a closely fitted black crushed velvet number with a full skirt. She stood silently by the table for the whole day, not moving an inch as she modelled pearl necklaces and earrings, carefully arranged in sets over her torso. I did ask about the pins (Ja min’ ma putting pins in ya?) but she’s never minded before and didn’t this time either. She’s coming with me next month too, she doesn’t get out much otherwise.
More people were out and about this month, and it was great to see so many new faces. Marmalade Emma was at Emmanuel’s Yard again, I love the light, airy space and the fact that it’s completely accessible for everyone – buggies, wheelchairs, mobility aids, everyone can get in, get round to browse the stalls, have a snack at the coffee shop and visit the toilets if necessary. The other stall holders are chatty and helpful, and it was exciting to see people buying from them – Bee Awesome’s natural cosmetics, Made by Emilia’s scrunchies and comfort blankets, Wild Rye almost sold out of her amazing sourdough bread along with some very yummy cookies and cinnamon rolls and if you want to know what a worry worm is, you need to visit Handmade by Pinky’s stall. I hope they’ll all be there again next month, and I look forward to seeing you too – come along and say Hi, say the magic codeword and you’ll get 10% discount too 😉.
Codeword for 10% discount is…. PUDDLEDUCK
