Yesterday I had an amazing day spent with Ellis and James at the Victorian Christmas Market in Melton Mowbray Leicestershire. After a bit of a flop of a Christmas market a few weeks ago with Ellis working with her on her Pastel Elixir stall we were a bit apprehensive about what to expect from this one.
But the whole day was fab! We got more sales, more people interested in Ellis’s products, we were in a great location in a courtyard of a coffee shop in an adorable cobbled street along with a couple of other small business owners and a kids craft stand, with people enjoying their coffee and cakes and snacks around us.
As always I have the best time when I’m with Ellis and we had a blast selling, chatting, laughing, eating, meeting people and seeing some family and friends who popped along to visit us.
We went for a wander around the market and there were live singers on stage throughout most of the day singing everything from Christmas songs to Disney!
James took the opportunity of a themed market to dress up and he looked fab taking inspiration from Peaky Blinders!
And I took the opportunity to get my camera out and went a bit snap happy shooting James, the market, the church and the lights!
This brings be slightly off topic to spread the word about supporting small businesses. Seeing people admiring Ellis’s work really warmed her heart and made her hard work feel justified and you really must remember that behind the screen you order from is a real person letting out a squeak of excitement when they get your order through, they pack it with joy, and wave it goodbye for its journey to you. You don't get that anywhere else!
Thanks for reading!
