I always enjoy having a stall, be it at a serious book fair, a flea market or village fete. It's blooming hard work, with all the loading and hefting of boxes but then I am rewarded with the joy of setting up my table. I tweak and fiddle and finally it pleases me.... and then I go and sell something and the balance is altered, so I happily start shifting everything again!

The beads were tempting and I treated myself to a scoop of these sea green ones-
There were subtle patterns-
