I sold my earrings at the Mauerpark market again on Sunday! It was a very cool day in Berlin and I think there was a good crowd there, but unfortunately not many sales. I sold half the amount as last time (the first time I sold my things at a market in Berlin). This time I mixed my products, instead of separating each style of earrings onto separate boards, I mixed it up and also had prices above each pair. So perhaps this was a mistake? Or perhaps it was just this time, this crowd turn out that wasn’t in the buying mood. One girl, as German, bought a pair of my paper/plastic creations and she said she really wanted to buy something special and extraordinary because she already has a huge earring collection, so that was a great compliment!!! I will be researching this coming Saturday and visiting other markets that I can potentially sell at.

Oh and something pretty funny happened actually. This guy is walking by and he stops at our table and leans over and picks up my cell phone, which had been lying a foot away from me. He takes it and examines it and completely seriously asks me if it is for sale!!! And I was just so stunned, I stammered I’m selling earrings! haha. Oh man. And then he was a bit embarrassed and gave it back. He was probably scouting the whole market only for cell phones! I didn’t initially say anything because the first time I sold at the market, this happened twice to Nina and I. But on those occasions the people were obviously joking! This guy was dead serious until he realized I was selling something far from cell phones!

My little setup.

We had some postcards from my friend Nina to give away for free. People liked that:)

This girl was wearing this huge fur hat and had bright orange-red hair. Just had to capture it.
