Little Spools

  Saturday, 23 January 2021 (posted on a later date) The day certainly rushed by at Perth City Market today! We were welcomed back with open arms into our previous stall No. 15 and quickly set up with minimal hiccups. The only grievance was the unfortunate positioning of the giant air-con that was blowing right on our heads all the time: even one of our customers remarked that we had snagged a "nice cool spot" and were fortunate to be indoors all day! What she didn't know, coming in from outside which was relatively hot, was that the "nice cool spot" turned freezing if  you sat in the same place for too long! Due to the fact that both stall spots on either side of us were vacant  we were situated all by ourselves at the back of the market. This was a bit of a setback, as we realised after half an hour, since most customers made a round of the stalls on our side and completely bypassed us, instead cutting across to the opposite row. So we did have a rather slow s...

We're thrilled to announce that we've added a new line of products to Little Spools! Up till now, we've stuck solely to sewing and focused on expanding that way. But what could be cuter than a basket full of crocheted pocket toys sitting proudly in our stall and earning squeals of happiness from our smallest customers?  That got us thinking, so here we are!  Look out for these beauties at our upcoming market stalls, or you can hop on to our website and order them online!  Plus, we're working hard to grow this line, so look out for more little critters! ~ Little Spools 

Saturday, 16 January 2021 We went back to the great outdoors for the Yangebup Progress Association market last Saturday! It was a very windy change from Perth City's indoor hall, but still was a fun-filled day throbbing with local families and great business.  We were prepared for the forecasted strong winds this time (haha!), with a bag of pebbles and extra gear to keep things from unexpectedly blowing away. The newly introduced pocket amigurumi toys were also instant hits, earning much attention from little kids as well as adults who were craft-loving enthusiasts!  This was a wonderful experience to tuck away in our journal and it will be our last outdoor stall for awhile...as we're going back to good old Perth City Market's air-conditioned venue for the next few months! Look out for Stall No. 6!  P.S. A special thank you to all our customers who supported us on the day. You mean so much to us and we look forward to seeing you again! :)
