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!

As a medical doctor living in Germany, my main reason for investing in Bitcoin was to secure financial freedom in my later years. Unfortunately, that goal was nearly destroyed when I experienced one of the most devastating events of my life — my Phantom wallet, containing approximately €200,000 worth of digital assets, was completely wiped out.
At first, I thought it might be a network glitch or technical issue. But as the reality sank in, I realized I had fallen victim to a hack. The sense of loss was overwhelming — knowing that years of hard work and savings had seemingly vanished in an instant.
After hours of searching and trying to understand what had happened, I came across SpyHost Cybersecurity Company , a team that specializes in cryptocurrency recovery, digital forensics, and cybersecurity. Honestly, I was skeptical at first as it felt like a desperate move but I decided to give them a try.
To my surprise, they were highly professional and responsive. In less than 48 hours, they managed to recover my lost assets. I was stunned. They not only restored my funds but also my peace of mind.
If you’ve gone through a similar experience, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They can be contacted via email at [Spyhost@cyberdude.com] or through WhatsApp at +1 (228) 313‑3152. Whether it’s lost crypto, seed phrase recovery, or general data recovery, they’ve proven to be effective and trustworthy in my case.

Hello to everyone reading this testimony. I was abandoned by my husband after five(5) years of marriage, just because another woman used a spell on him; he left me and the kids’ home and moved in with the lady. One day, I was reading articles about spell casters, just as you are reading mine now. I read how Dr. Baris Altan helped a woman get back her lover within a few days, and I gave him a reply to his email address. He told me not to worry, he would help me bring back my husband and make him love me forever. I thought he was joking, so I then gave him a trial. Believe me, in a short time, my husband came back and started begging me. Today, I am glad to let you all know that Dr. Baris’s powerful spell worked for me perfectly. I highly recommend Baris for everyone facing relationship challenges. For more information about Dr. Baris below dr.baris.altan01 @ gmail. Com
