Seeing this was so charming, I love the buzz that comes through the set up with the nerves and excitement. And seeing a bunch of creatives just vibing with each other is so nice. Loved seeing your art and creations all out on a store, it must be such a great feeling to see it all out like that. Thank you for sharing that with us

[@SophieMcPike]

Thank you so much!💕

[@apaperylife2096]

Loved being able to go along with you! I would have loved to be there in person, all the way from 🇨🇦 but this virtual tour was wonderful!

[@marieliholbert5835]

[@french-teapot]

I'm so happy I discovered you and your videos! I'm going to have to save up to buy some of your work because it's just so wonderful. I spoke to you very briefly on instagram so I'm sorry if it seems like I'm stalking you! XD I guess I am a little, but you've been very inspiring! So thank you! All the best from Ireland!

[@SophieMcPike]

Such a fun vlog! And so many goodies! Wish I could live closer and say hi when you go to these markets 🥲

[@SophieMcPike]

Thank youuu!!! Melbourne is truely artist market central! Sorry good 🥰

[@MonsterMaker]

Thanks for sharing your journey and experience! I have never been to a finders keepers but it looks so beautiful :) I would love to see a table tour next time and more close up of your goodies. I dont think i've seen much of your ceramic stuff before. I feel you - I dont have crocs and I stubornly wear my vans or boots all weekend. I roll up a yoga matt and bring it with me to cons (even ones interstate).

[@SophieMcPike]

I was thinking that I should have talked about my stall once I already uploaded it 🙃🥲 next time!!!

[@thebooksofmylife]

[@DottyDelightful]

Loved all of this, it’s a huge show isn’t it

[@SophieMcPike]

It's bloody massive!!!

[@melissamartinart]

I love getting peaks at Melbourne! It’s a city I’m not at all familiar with but very curious about!

[@SophieMcPike]

Melbs is a very beautiful and super creative city! I'm so lucky to be living here :)

[@atessabien7517]

This was such a wonderful journey with you! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot for myself, even if I'm just trying out on some smaller markets this year here in Germany. Thanks for sharing so much of this weekend - it looks so wonderful to see you smiling while talking to people

[@SophieMcPike]

Thank you so much!!!! Yes! I built it myself :) I've been building my own market displays for years, it's so much fun! I make ceramics all the time! But it's not something I post about that often, I'm not really even sure why! Lovely idea - I'd love to make a ceramics video x *takes a hug! Thank youuuu 💕

[@atessabien7517]

@@SophieMcPike That is so cool :) I will try it too for my next market. Maybe a more mushroom theme with some flowers too, I love chamomile so much. Thanks for showing this, I was always a bit lost on how to display my stuff and now I know it better :) Looking forward for the ceramic video, would be lovely

[@intergalacticpeachpatrol]

such a fun little adventure! so exciting! you're too cute!

[@SophieMcPike]

Thank you!! 😊

[@MrsQuam]

Thank you for sharing this with us! Did you make enough profit for all that work to be worth it? I always wonder that about craft shows and markets….

[@SophieMcPike]

Yes! It was my best market ever! So grateful that so many people made the effort to come out and check the market out 💕

[@Karlena_Lewin_Studio]

Hi hun great video I’m starting marketing soon just got myself a spot in a uncover shop/market it’s on weekly all year around. Iv been selling my art on line in cafes and galleries. And this is my sign to replace my Canon printer I’m not happy the ink is not light fast for my prints
