Wiararapa Road Trip Pictures

Coulter and Coulter, well actually it was Coulter and Lancaster this time, has been out in the real world again on a road trip down to the beautiful Wiararapa.  My friend Keriann offered to help out with my market stall in exchange for a trip to all the op and junk shops on the way.  Peter was quite happy to be excused from coming with us and stayed at home to watch movies with our youngest.  Above is the view from the coffee kiosk in Waipukurau where we made our first stop.
 I rented the above pretty cottage for the night before the market.  Often when booking accommodation over the internet, it turns out to be not quite what you expected.  This time the house was more than I expected.  A very pretty little cottage, filled with beautiful furniture and set in a well manicured small garden. Inside the house was spotless.  So if you ever need a home from home in Grey Town, I can recommend Roses on West.
 The craft market was held in the Town Hall, Masterton.  My stall was on the stage, it couldn't have been a better spot, the lighting was fantastic.  All in all a great weekend, can't wait for the next trip.

Preparation for a Roadtrip

 This weekend I am heading down to Masterton to the New Rags Market.  In anticipation of selling lots of goodies I have been making lots and lots of tote bags for customers to take home their purchases in.  I try to make sure Coulter and Coulter customers, including online customers, get a free tote bag with every sale.

My friend Keriann from Little Vintage, is coming with me to help out on the stall.  Or in other words - a girls road trip to visit as many Op Shops as we can find.
