Market stall + Baby - My voice = Fun, as it turns out!
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
So today I literally juggled my baby and my business.
For some inexplicable reason, Salvador chose to LIE IN today for once and not wake up at 5.30am (I would insert the tears-streaming-down-face emoji here if I knew how to). So I lay in bed after my alarm went off trying to figure out which plan of action would create the least noise to not wake him because when he wakes up he wants a breastfeed and that takes 20 MINUTES (he's always been a relaxed drinker) and then I'd have to manage him and packing the car/showering/would I have time to shower anyway? Why wouldn't I just hand him over to my husband? Am I overthinking all this? OF COURSE I was overthinking everything and it all resulted in me unshowered and a bit late, but Salvador ultimately fed. I mean, really.
Anyway, my wonder husband took over the childcare, arranging to arrive at the market in time for the customers as I HAVE LOST MY VOICE (yes, I know, can you imagine a version of me not speaking all the time??!) I arrived at Fresh Market and found I was next to Lisa of Lady Bay Botanicals and Annie of HegARTie whale fame. When I turned my back in search of a tap to fill my water weights (that weigh down the market tent), they started putting up my marquee! Such lovely people.
Stall ready, husband and baby turn up and of course Salvador wants to be held by me the whole time so I'm basically screaming (which is coming out a loud whisper) over the babble of my baby who won't be held by anyone else and I can't put on the ground because it's too wet.
Do you know, I loved it! I loved chatting to people even with my pubescent boy voice and I love showing off my beautiful baby. I love playing with him! Have to admit though, all the chucking him around did make him vomit a little bit. Whoops.
Bronson was there the whole time ready to whisk him off when he needed a nap.
Around 11.30am, murmurs started rippling amongst the stall-holders of incoming torrential weather. We saw it coming, felt the first drops, packed up faster than ever before and headed over to the Main Beach Kiosk for a delicious lunch while baby Sal continued sleeping.
It was a very successful market for me and a great day as I framed up for the next one (this coming Sunday 17th March), did some writing (I have a freelance writing job) and wrote this blog post. Tomorrow morning, back to the easel...Bronson has a couple of days off work and Sal will enjoy some daddy daycare.
I guess the point of this blog is to remind you that I have beautiful prints to sell! Please check back to the shop part of the website and have a look around. As always, any feedback on my blog or website is much appreciated! Ta for now.
P.S. Here's one of my beautiful customers with her husband's birthday present. Thanks Georgie!

I am in such a mess. I have lost over 4.7m due to a scammer… It started as bank wires and then bitcoin. it is hard to imagine but it is true and can send any proof, then I tried to use a couple of recovery companies and was as well. Graphic design has been more than just a hobby for me since high school—it has become a thriving career. Starting in my parents’ garage, I eventually expanded to my office, running a successful graphic design business. However, like many, I faced the need to diversify my investments due to inflation. This led me to invest 60.16 in Bitcoin, a decision that paid off handsomely as my investment grew to 4.7m over time. This financial windfall allowed me to upgrade my equipment and take on more ambitious projects, furthering the growth of my business. Unfortunately, my excitement was abruptly cut short when I fell victim to a hacking incident. Malware infected my computer, giving hackers access to my Bitcoin wallet. The devastation of potentially losing all my hard-earned savings and plans weighed heavily on me. At this dire moment, a fellow designer suggested Linux Cyber Security Company as a potential solution. Desperate for a lifeline, I reached out to them, hoping for a miracle.The response from Linux Cyber Security Company was prompt, incredibly professional, and effective. Their team quickly traced the hacker’s activities and recovered most of my funds, alleviating a significant amount of stress and uncertainty. Beyond the recovery, they took the time to educate me on essential practices to secure my Bitcoin holdings better. They emphasized using antivirus software to prevent malware infections, the importance of avoiding suspicious downloads, and the added security provided by hardware wallets. This experience served as a critical wake-up call for me. It highlighted the vulnerabilities inherent in digital assets and underscored the importance of robust security measures. Thanks to the guidance and expertise of Linux Cyber Security Company, I now feel more equipped to protect my digital assets proactively. Their insights have empowered me to implement stronger security protocols in my business operations and personal finances alike. With my Bitcoin funds securely recovered and a newfound understanding of digital security best practices, I am more confident in navigating future challenges. This journey has reinforced my commitment to safeguarding my hard-earned assets and leveraging technology responsibly. Moving forward, I am optimistic about the growth opportunities ahead, creatively in graphic design and prudently in investment strategies. In conclusion, while the hacking incident was a setback, it ultimately became a catalyst for enhancing my digital security awareness and resilience. I am grateful to Linux Cyber Security Company for their expertise and support during a challenging time, enabling me to continue pursuing my passion for graphic design with renewed confidence and financial stability.
