A day at the market

Photos from my first stall at the Old Bus Depot Markets.

My first Sunday at the Old Bus Depot Markets

· Kingston

This was my first stall at the Old Bus Depot Markets, at 21 Wentworth Avenue, Kingston. The day ran from 9:30am to 2:30pm.

I took gifts I make at home. Printed pieces, and knitting. People could pick them up and look with their hands. I like that. The chats are as good as the making.

If you missed me, that is all right. Call or text 0433 77 4396. I can still make a gift for you. We can meet, or I can post it.

No other market day is planned yet. For now I tell people on Facebook as Sadia Akber, and on my page Aidas Prints. On Instagram I am aidas.zair, aidasprints1055, and Sadia.Akber1.

Photos from the day

The stall, the table, and a few quiet chats. Come and have a look.

Swans, birds, and little gifts. You can pick them up.

I like these talks as much as the making.

People stop, look, and we talk.

Look with your hands. The games are there to try.
