The BIDM on Saturday was absolutely fantastic! It's now two days later and I'm still feeling excited by how great it was. Everyone's stalls and wares were of a super high standard and I really loved being part of such a diverse and creative team. (jettas nest stall at BIDM)

(Peridot Gingernut doll, Cuddlebots and Russian Skittle Girls)
In fact, the tees and tops were a great success too and now I've got lots of busy days and nights ahead of me as I build up my stock again.
I'll be working hard on perfecting my dolls in the next couple of months as I got lots of interest in the one I took along (Peridot Gingernut in the picture above). To my surprise I even sold quite a few of the little cards that I made. All in all it was an amazing day. Totally overwhelming and and just really, really great!

I bought myself a few goodies too. A Peppermint Magazine subscription, some super cute Kitty Boo Boo hair clips (dice and ladybugs), and a Hot Toffee lolly necklace in raspberry red (I love this sooooo much). I missed out on getting a hat from The Seamstress and The Daughters as they'd sold out by the time I had a chance to have a little shop and I didn't really have a good chance to have a proper look at everything inside the hall because it was just so crowded all day!
I'd like to send a big thankyou kiss to Helen of Ruby 2 Go Go fame for starting up such a great team. It's really amazing! Big thanks go to the rest of the BrisStyle committee members for all the work done behind the scenes to make the market the success that it was.
I also want to say a big thankyou to Rebecca from Edward and Lilly for letting me use her rather lovely camera to take some photos of my stall. Can you believe that I forgot to take my camera? I had all these plans of taking photos of every stall there but I couldn't. I'll be packing the camera the night before the December BIDM!
Last but not least, I'd like to thank my baby brother, Matt for helping me out on Saturday.
Thanks to, to everyone who took home a little Jettas Nest and/or stopped by to say hi! Bring on December!!!
PS. I'll be re-opening my etsy store soon. I was expecting to have heaps of stuff left over from Saturday to stock it to the hilt with but there's not much left so I'll be working on a few things to restock it with over the next week.

Awesomeness sells itself ... good stuff Sam, I love all your gear!
I'm going to custom a set of tees for me and the kids okay ... next time we hook up I'll have the tees with me ... I'm so excited!
Wasn't it the most wonderful market? I was one of those "insiders" and any plans of catching up with you "outsiders" flew out the window once the crowds arrived. Your stall looks fabulous and I'm glad you had such a successful day.
I'm glad to hear that it went so well! I'm a little I couldn't make it, I had a family wedding to go to. I'll have to get an update at the next Brown Owls meeting!
Well done, it sounds like a fabulous day, and it's great that you sold so much stuff! As it should be...

How good was it!!!! I finally had the chance to have a look around toward the end of the day, and when I came to your stall there was just two brooches left and your husband told me you'd pretty much sold out of everything. Fantastic!!! You really do make such awesome stuff - I'll be keeping an eye on your Etsy shop when it opens. Still keen on a gorgeous pinny for Kate :)
