Christmas market in Competa (and watercolours)

Yesterday was the Christmas Market here in Competa.
I had packed all my things the day before and only had to get up at seven o'clock to get myself ready.
The organisation is getting better and Dave and I were surprised at how smoothly we managed to set up the table and the display despite the wind. Helped by several pins, and a brick wrapped in a plastic bag to stabilise the earring board
Here is a view of the stall \after we first set up the display, showing  the  placing of my watercolour paintings 

And this photo shows the new earring display board, which worked really well, as the earrings were suspended from very thin elastic, which made it easier for customers to select their choice  

Here is another view of the stall, after we discovered a way to gain vertical space by standing watercolours up at the back.
 The day proved to be very successful, and I sold most of my watercolour paintings, as well as lots of necklaces and earrings.
One lady, who bought one of the 'flamenco dancers' to take back to England with her, was kind enough to say she was  ever so happy to get the opportunity to meet the artist too. I had to pinch myself when I realised that she meant me..
Here is a view of the stall for the patchwork group T D Jazmine ( of which I am also a member) who also did a roaring trade in selling aprons and getting donations  to make heart cushions to give to ladies suffering from breast cancer
Also due to customer requests at the market, I have included a selection of watercolours I have painted previously .
