When it is pouring with rain all day and temperatures have dropped dramatically and you have a huge market the next day with a bunch of outside stalls, one can start to stress.

Only 9 days till Market Day...Yeh!!!!

I love that I get so excited about an event I run.

The lovely, gorgeous, generous Nicole from Little Wrap Bag once again has a brilliant offer for you shoppers.

I have a lot of Nicole's products. I have a gorgeous primrose ipad cover that gets plenty of ooh's and ahhh's at business meetings. I have the matching duo purse which is great for stashing my phone and little bits and pieces in when I don't want to take my clunky handbag. Last year for Christmas I bought all the kids the little wrap bags which they carry around all their favorite little possessions in. Last but not least I have a divine pair of little mexico silver earrings that I adore.

Spend $15 or more on any littlewrapbag or little mexico purchase from littlewrapbag Stall 42 at Piccadilly Market Nov 20th, 2011 and receive your FREE Chica Purse RRP $10*

Be early! You'll find her on Level 2, near the courtyard doors.

Offer is available to the first 50 shoppers who quote the word 'Taxco' during their purchase. Taxco, Mexico is the town where the unique little mexico range of sterling silver is hand crafted.

In my previous post I mentioned that this year the Pako retailers did not get on board with the Trick or Treating so Peg and I decided to create our own. We came up with the tags that we popped in all the mail boxes with ribbons and hoped for the best.

We were so pleased with the street's response and the kids had a blast and they all thought it was better than Pako. Yeh!!!!! The lesson learned is....What do you do when life gives you lemons? You make lemonade.

We had one guy dress his house in cobwebs and answer the door with a mask on and a smoking cauldron that the kids had to put their hands in to grab a mystery treat. One lovely lady made gorgeous decorated cupcakes.

So we hope we have started a long standing tradition that will get bigger and better every year. I hear people poo poo Halloween and wish it stayed in America. It did not originate in America, you can read up on the history here. I am so glad that there are people who LOVE having it here. It is such fun for the kids to dress up and roam the streets passing other kids and getting to know their neighbors. Pure Childhood Fun.

Once again my kids start the 365 day countdown till next year.
