Markets....

So yesterday was the last of the markets in Torridon for the year - apart from our Christmas Market on 19th November. That will be the first of my Christmas Markets! Followed by Applecross, Poolewe, and Plockton High School. And anything else I may be able to squeeze in....

I said a few days ago that next year things will be different for Patterns of Light. So now for what I meant....

This year has been a tough one anyway, just with lots of stressful things going on. And it meant I missed a lot of the markets I'd been hoping to attend. This was not the plan, and I missed being able to do them. But life sometimes gets complicated, and I realised as much as I may want to, I cannot do everything. I booked all the markets at a distance, based on my husband's shift work (two weeks on, two weeks off). This will no longer be possible, as he has changes at work 😞 his company have decided to do away with shifts, and he will be going back to Monday - Friday, and certain weekends too. This will be an adjustment for us all, and means I will not be able to get up and leave home before 8am to get to markets in Plockton and Poolewe....because I'll have to do a school run for 9am start. And I'll have to be back by 3pm. The distances I was travelling mean it doesn't fit with life anymore. Torridon fits, in fact it's perfect for a school day, as it's only 10 minutes on after school drop off to get there and set up. And I can go and collect Connor at 3pm and take him back there to pack up my stall. So in 2027, that is the only market I can be certain I'll be able to attend!

Through the summer I'll hopefully still manage larger events like Lochcarron Highland Games! And Christmas markets are on Saturdays usually, so I'd still hope to get to them too. Darryl will be home some of those days, and we have family who can have Connor on Saturdays too.

I've loved being able to go a little further, and I'd hoped to maybe try new places at some point too....but for now I'm being realistic. And I'm trying to think of other ways, other than markets, to get Patterns of Light in to the world!

I do have an exciting new opportunity to try something completely different next year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how that goes as an alternative....I will reveal more on that nearer the time 😉

But for now, I wanted to be open about where my head is, and my thought processes. Basically, the fact is there are fewer markets in the future for Patterns of Light. And to keep doing what I do, I'll be needing to find alternatives, and grow online sales. And the reality is, if these things don't work longterm.....as Connor gets older, I may have to consider if it's time to step back....and think about other employment. I LOVE what I do. But it has to be viable. I'm thinking way ahead, but I have also set a deadline in my mind....

WEEKLY UPDATE

Fri-yay is here again! Another busy week and not enough hours. First of all, a big thank you again to those who supported our evening of antiques and braved the weather to come to bingo last week. We raised a fantastic £755 towards the Old Schoolhouse, thanks to James Lewis and Ed Otter and their night of all things antiques. We’re delighted to have raised just under £450 from the bingo, which when added to the amount of £291.00 from the café run by Mairi and her team at a recent Poolewe Market, brings the total to £741.00 towards the defibrillator fundraising.

A reminder that we are looking for people to help us run weekly soup lunches. You don’t need to commit to a regular slot, even if you can help us out occasionally, all support is welcome. To find out more or have an informal chat, please just get in touch with me. Contact details below.

Tonight we have our AGM so look forward to seeing you there, where you can find out more about our news and progress over the past 12 months.

Have a good weekend.

This is possibly my last market of the year, so if you fancy picking up a painted pebble or two from a woodland elf, this is an ideal opportunity! 🍄

There’ll be lots of lovely things to discover from the other stallholders too, so come along if you can, have a browse, and support our local makers before we wrap up for the season. 🍁

After this, I’m planning to focus on finally getting my Folksy shop stocked online - so watch this space!
