So proud of you. I can imagine how you felt. It is always such a weird mix of adrenaline and nerves when you do something like that. Good on you for stepping forward. Love the new stand.

My face was cms from his!!! Oh yes body language can be so important. I will have to try that dinner trick of yours. I have only ever used it in business. When I was in "that job I didn't enjoy" previously, I used to have clients come into my office who just WOULDN'T LEAVE. Or staff as well. I used to do the old, shuffling of the papers trick. Then I would actually use your stand up trick as a last measure. It WORKS.

The other stall holders like me there because I translate for everyone. So you've been to Almeria!!?? Where? We are in Vera Playa, but actually closer to Garrucha. The other towns closeby are Mojacar, Cuevas de Almanzora, Villaricos.... This was a particularly nice Town Fair. They are not all that nice.

I wish that were an option here. At that market it isn't. Market fees are very reasonable. I have another market, an evening one, that I will be doing in July and August, where I have my spot dedicated to me. Relief. I would love to hear that Market Ache song... I would put it to guitar!!!

He wasn't exactly bouncer thugish, but short and had a huuuuuuuge stomach coming out toward me. I was more scared about what he and his family might do to me afterward... like scratch my car etc etc. But no, I think I gained respect. Glad you like the stand! I think I will take more photos of it. xoxo JenJennifer Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759161260648931612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219510642613816473.post-58047882235826180152011-06-05T22:49:31.556-07:002011-06-05T22:49:31.556-07:00Cocobong, Thank you.

I've had my share of nightmares over 9 years at our Saturday market. After years of trying to get to the market early for a certain spot my sister and I bought a year membership to the same spot every week a few years ago. It's nice knowing we don't have to fight for spots but we did for many years.<br /><br />That is amazing you did two markets back to back. I find for us baking Fridays, selling Saturdays and Sundays is tiring. My sister and I came up with a song about the craft market aches and we often sing it.<br /><br />Glad you did well, the market looks beautiful with horses etc. Are your market fees reasonable?<br /><br />MichelleTwo Blooms Design Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649539169220899169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219510642613816473.post-75441849221112771052011-06-05T13:21:35.533-07:002011-06-05T13:21:35.533-07:00What a lovely place...
