We have opened stall at the Museumplain market (craft market)held once a month on Sunday in Amsterdam.
Until before the market, the weather forecast predicted rain during the market, but it didn't rain and many people visited the market.
About two hours after I got home, it started raining heavily and there was even thunder, so I was grateful for the good weather (^^).
Many of our customers were tourists, and some from Peru, Mexico, Israel, Dubai, USA…etc. purchased my items.
As Colouratura mainly sells Japanese-style handmade goods, so many of the people who bought were Japanese fans, and said “cute” and bought a pair of rice ball pierced earrings etc. I enjoyed such as the small talk with customers.
I don't plan on having an outdoor market for the time being during the cold winter, but when the weather warms up, I plan to have another stall somewhere. I think to have more new products by then, so I look forward to seeing you again at that time.
