Berry Market Shenanigans





Red Rascal wholesale sales have been brilliant but we’ve been missing the excitement of a good market stall. We heard of a huge country market in the nearby historic town of Berry at the foothills of the Kangaroo Valley.

Jane approached the organisers who initially fobbed her off with the claim that her handmade shirts were “too commercial”. Handmade, in Australia, by two mums, with Australian designer fabric – YEAH RIGHT!

When the organisers realised this was quite clearly rubbish they tried a different tack – at 3pm the night before the market they told Jane she needed $10 milllion public liability insurance to attend. My amazing wife promptly got on the phone, bought some insurance and had the certificate faxed to them in less than an hour. We were having our breakfast on a picnic rug at the market gate at 7am the next morning ready to go!

A big day in the hot sun. Jane was amazing – what a trooper – and sold heaps!! By the end we were all exhausted but happy and appreciating the wholesale sales even more.

Lots of Love and Kisses to the Berry Market Organising Committee.
