Village market @Tickenham December '16

It was another good day at the village market :)
there was a nice christmas shopping atmosphere.
Thank you for stopping at our table and smiling at our goods,
and thank you very much everyone who bought something.

It was the last market for us for 2016.
We had a great oppotunity to meet people at markets through the year.
thank you again.

See you in 2017! (^-^)
