Shabby chic market at Beacon Hill Estate

Today another great Shabby Chic market at Beacon Hill in Richmond.

The forecast was not great, but the weather stayed nice till the end of the day and then the rain clouds came, but enough time to pack up the stall.

The gold coin donations paid at the entrance gate goes to a good course, helping young women in Asia to find new life out of prostitution, often caused by poverty.

A nice collection.

Roger,my friend helped me with setting up the gazebo and the stall.
Roger makes vintage coat racks and he uses old door handles and wardrobe knobs for the racks.
My grapevine wreaths all sold and I could have sold my tea trolley 3 times over and have commissions to paint chairs.

The shabby chic market is very popular and busy and has the same atmosphere as the Brocante markets in France.
Two lovely girls played the violin and the food is also divine.
I had a beautiful beetroot/carrot cake decorated with sugar pansies and great coffee.

There is so much to see and buy, but because its very busy, I didn't have enough time to look around,but just enough to buy a little cardigan.

Another lovely stall

The next market will be the end of November and this is a Christmas market, so as soon as I am in our new house and boxes unpacked I better start making Christmas gifts in Shabby chic style.

The second Shabby Chic market at Beacon Hill Estate in Stoke, Nelson.

A beautiful sunny Autumn day and with 25 stalls a lot of variety of all things Shabby Chic.

This time I had my own stall as well and it was great not only to sell my handmade Shabby Chic furniture and crafts, but to have so many people visit the stall.

It was a great day!

 Today I went to visit the first shabby chic market at Beacon Hill Estate, a beautiful country shop in Hope near Nelson. www.beaconhillestate.co.nz
The weather was perfect,just a little autumn chill in the air. Today is our first day of the autumn season!
The atmosphere at the market was lovely, very relaxed.
Not to many stallholders, but a lot of variety.
Beautiful sewing, soaps and shabby chic furniture.
Two girls played the violin and I enjoyed a beautiful hazelnut and raspberry cake under the trees.
In May the next shabby chic market will be held and I would love to book a stall.

A table full of goodies.
