A Craft Market

Christmas shopping, treats for yourself, gifts for your loved ones.

All found right here in Beckenham, Christchurch.

We look forward to seeing you there.

A Craft Market on December 1st

We are looking forward to our next market on December 1st, 10am-1pm, 52 Martin Avenue, Beckenham.  Let's hope for good weather (this time around)!

Our very first market was sadly cancelled due to poor weather - it was raining cats and dogs.  A BIG thank you to everyone who was involved including ALL the stall holders, some of whom bravely turned up, some of them, even braver, set up only to pack-down again.  The blue sky appeared in the morning, only to flee at the sight of those black rain clouds that hovered over the hills and slowly but surely headed our way.

Puddles, rain and brave faces.

Never mind, we'll be back!  I was totally blown away by the support I had.  Each and every person that I spoke to was so happy to be a part of New Beginnings and were stoked to see there was something happening in the Beckenham community.  I was so humbled and left there feeling full.

I'm [mostly] sure the weather will be on our side next time - I can't imagine what an awesome day we'll have.  I'm so excited and am really looking forward to getting the ball rolling.

I look forward to seeing you there

PS There are a few stall spaces left so be in quick!

Two weeks to go!

I'm busy-busy getting the finishing touches done.  I managed to get a break just now because my drill battery ran flat (mid-hinge on our sandwich-board) so while it re-charges I thought I'd say, "Hello!"

I hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather Christchurch has been having lately - here's hoping it's a good sunny day like today.

We will be looking forward to all of these wonderful shops:

Update

I've been a little busy finding out where and how to get the word out about New Beginnings.

We're now on Stuff Events through EventFinda and we're on BeThere.  If anyone needs a good coffee at the market, never fear - Garry from KiwiCoffee is going to be there on the day too.

I finally got some printing done today, aren't they looking good!

And after all my hard work, I found a Nescafe sample in my mailbox which went down a treat on this cold afternoon.

Can't pass up the opportunity for a free sample!

Happy crafting, catch you here again soon.
