It was great to have an event where it didn't rain! My gazebo dried out, and the stock did not get a third soaking. All good. The crowds were out in force - another tick. The event was really well organised - one more tick. Nothing to complain about, you would think. Unfortunately the crowds did not seem to be interested in buying. Although there were many positive comments, and some good conversations, I had a very small number of sales - one of the lowest totals of the season so far. On talking to other stallholders, they experienced the same. The only conclusion we could come to was that this was a free event and that this time was the first where stalls were present. People seemed to come without money to spend. A pity for me, and for Utange - but I trust that God had plans for me to be there and that there will be positive results from it.
This blog shows my recycled denim creations, along with tutorials for items I have designed myself. I collect old jeans (a strange collection, I know!) and cut them up to make bags, purses, animals and other items of varying sizes and shapes. I then sell these to raise money for weomen and children in the town of Utange, near Mombasa, in Kenya. I help women to set up their own businesses and am supporting the building of a new school for disabled children.

I think the school holidays impact on people's spending big time , it seems to happen to all sellers this time of year
