This little sheep came home with me from the market

There is an organization in Norway, called Norges Husflidlag that works to preserve and spread the knowledge of various crafts, and I signed up as a member a couple of months ago. Today, they had their traditional easter market, where members could sell what they produce.
Husfliden, as it is commonly called, is divided into local divisions; just here in Oslo there are 11. At the market where I was, there were 6-7 other women selling their products, I was the youngest by far, which was first a bit unnerving, then quite charming.
I felt like a brat, not just because of the age difference, but also because they really knew what they were doing- their products had such quality to them, where my stuff is elementary and obviously experimental.
They sold a lot. A LOT. I sold one shawl.
But I had such a nice time that I don't care! :D

It was a great experience and I got to come out of my I'm-shy-about-displaying-my-stuff-at-a-market-shell and I'm looking forward to the next one :)
The next time I'll bring a table cloth, though..


I displayed shawls and throws, the pink and the burgundy is tunisian crocheted, the multicoloured(which I call the sea shawl, because it has the colours of the sea) is crocheted. The beige wristwarmers are also tunisian crochet. Some bracelets in the bottom corner.

 

I displayed various jewelry, and buttons and apliques and tatted lace trims......

 

 ......and crocheted gift bags and slippers for toddlers.

 

The market was held in an old farm building. I loved it!

 

Sitting there for a few hours, trying not to look too desperate for people to buy my stuff, it was nice to keep myself occupied with surprise, surprise: tatting a lace trim!

The lady at the table next to me sold only easter stuff. I tink she sold the most today. I nicked her the Easterlady. I bought this sheep from the Easterlady, it was so darn cute(it's roughly 7-8cm tall)!
