The Mornington launch has been postponed

I am sorry to inform you that I have made the very difficult decision to postpone the Mornington market.

This is not easy for me to write but I feel that it is the least I can do. At the end of last year I experienced a fairly traumatic experience in the midst of all of the Christmas markets. I was devastated at the time and did not feel strong enough to share any information with you all. So I soldiered on and thought all would be fine. Then it was Christmas with all the work do's and running around and on top of that we moved. I kept busy and I thought I was still fine.

But several weeks ago it call came crashing down. A friend of mine experienced a similar tragedy to mine, and it brought all of my sadness flooding back to me. Unfortunately I am also prone to depression and that is where I have managed to spiral to. My husband travelling overseas for a few weeks has not helped either.

Please be assured that I am receiving the help that I need however, it has impacted on my preparations for Mornington and things have not progressed as I would have liked them to. The launch market is very important and I do not want to mess it up by doing an okay job.

So I have decided for the sake of my health and for the sake of the market it would be best to postpone the launch until July.

I will also be handing over the reigns to Sugar & Spice sooner than I had planned and I have found the PERFECT person to take over S&S, but that is a whole different post.

Mornington sweetness!

How sweet is this little hall? I love its blue doors, almost the exact same colour as the hall at Woodend It is going to look even prettier in a few weeks time when it plays host to the first Mornington Sugar & Spice!

Many thanks to the very lovely Nada of Red Mango Design and Photography for these photos. Nada is also the official photographer for the Mornington market!

The other exciting news for the market is that there will be 100 goodie bags to giveaway at every market and even better, I will not have to pack them YAY!! The Goodie Bag exchange is a new business that offers affordable advertising for mumprenuers. If you are thinking about how to spread the word about your business but your budget is on the modest side, then you should seriously consider The Goodie bag exchange. They distribute goodie bags through out Australia but you also have the option to select which bags your material appears in .... retailers with Sugar & Spice will be able to place material in our bags at a discounted rate.
