Crafty Christchurch 2012

Market day is here! We had a fantastic time sharing our new idea with Christchurch!

Thank you so much to all my gorgeous friends who came to help! Could not have done it without you!

The signage is here!

The signage is arrived today - just in time for the show, I am so pleased with it! Feels so real now! We will use the bottom square sign in our shop too! 

We had the address printed on the display sign in good faith! Here is hoping!

Market Prep!

 Oh the hours that go into markets! I mentioned to a fellow stallholder, that markets are like childbirth, you miraculously forget how hard it is and say yes again! 

This is Luke showing off how "helpful" he is while mummy is trying out the pegboards to see where everything is going to go!

We decided to use our own bookshelves at the market to get some height, packing and unpacking these to

get the right feel and know which bolts to take!  

We also got a whole new shipment of ribbon in, so many choices now!

 

Well just 2 days to go! Can't wait going to be load of fun!

Meet Serge

Meet Serge, the latest addition to our family. He is the Make Cafe's mascot and he has a bit of a split personality. Depends on his mood really..

You will find Serge floating all around the shop he loves the colourful fabrics (especially this one!)

The Make Cafe Limited

So here begins a new journey, The Make Cafe is official and registered at the Companies Office New Zealand!
Of course the planning, dreaming and 100 name changes happened all before that!

This is an amazing journey for both of us to be on and in many ways it feels like a dream coming true but there are plenty of nightmares that accompany it!

We have almost secured a premises on Riccarton Road, they are two shops that we hope to convert into 1 larger space.

We have looked at quite few other properties which got us bunny hopping many times but in the end this is the one that we think will be right for our new venture at this time.

Now onto Logo's and getting ready for Crafty Christchurch under our new name!
