| I wanted to make something with paper butterflies for one of my daughters who is a fan of butterflies. And then it just grew … and grew! | |
| What do you like most about being a stallholder? | |
| It’s nice to be out and seen by people, meeting the many visitors to Canberra, especially during Floriade. We’ve made many friends with the other stallholders, too. Such lovely people … 🙂 | |
| What do you like least about being a stallholder? | |
| The early starts and the cold, Canberra winter!! | |
| Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? | |
| Not too sure. I don’t think my repeat customers will ever let me retire! | |
| What one piece of advice would you give to a new stallholder? | |
| Don’t panic if it doesn’t go well the first or second time having a stall. Sometimes people need to know you attend regularly and will remember you and come back when they’re ready to make a purchase. So give it a bit of time. | |
