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!

Two years single in A, I’d poured my heart into crypto, converting 12,500 euros into Bitcoin to build a future. But a phishing scam disguised as a flirty email from a “naval officer”—stole it all. The blockchain confirmed the theft; my wallet was empty. Police were clueless, and loneliness amplified my despair. X posts warned of scams, but one mentioned Cyber Codex Revolution. Hesitant, I emailed [email protected]. They responded: “We’re forensic experts. Send the detail fees upfront. I shared the transaction hash and phishing email. Their team—hackers, coders, traced the BTC through mixers to a shady exchange. “We’ve got a trail,” they messaged. Using legal leverage and exchange partnerships, they froze the funds. After tense negotiations, my phone lit up: “BTC recovered. Check your wallet. My 12,500 euros returned, secure in a new wallet. Cyber Codex Revolution didn’t just save my savings; they restored my hope. Single or not, I learned trust in justice can outshine even the darkest scams.Now, I spread their name proof that in the wild crypto frontier, justice can still win.

I’ve been investing for years, both in traditional markets and in crypto. I always considered myself smart enough to spot red flags, but the truth is, even experienced investors can fall victim to the right scam. That’s exactly what happened to me. The platform I dealt with looked professional in every way. They had a sleek website, convincing support staff, and even showed me trading dashboards that looked legitimate. I tested them with a smaller deposit and was even able to withdraw at first. That gave me confidence, so I decided to put in a much larger amount of Bitcoin. Not long after, everything went silent, my withdrawals were blocked, and the people I’d been in contact with disappeared. I can’t even describe the frustration I felt. As someone who prides myself on being cautious and informed, it was humiliating. More than that, it was financially painful. I had basically written off the funds as gone forever, especially since everything I knew about blockchain told me Stolen Bitcoin couldn’t really be retrieved. That changed when I connected with GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. From the beginning, I was skeptical, I’ve seen plenty of false claims online. But they earned my trust quickly by explaining the process in detail and showing me examples of successful recoveries. They didn’t make empty promises; instead, they outlined exactly what they would do. I handed over my transaction details, and they got to work. What impressed me most was their transparency, they kept me updated throughout and demonstrated real progress in tracing the Stolen Bitcoin through blockchain forensics. Weeks later, they achieved what I honestly didn’t think was possible: they recovered a large portion of my Stolen Bitcoin and returned it to me safely. That moment restored not only my funds, but also my confidence. I highly recommend GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. They’re the real deal, professional, knowledgeable, and persistent. If you think your situation is hopeless, I can tell you firsthand it isn’t. I went from believing my investment was gone forever to seeing it back in my wallet. That’s something I’ll never forget.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around what just happened. My name is Chao Han, and I’m a crypto investor. I’ve been in the game long enough to know the risks, but I never thought I’d fall victim to something like this. I lost my wallet’s 12-word seed phrase, and with it, access to approximately $300,000 worth of Bitcoin and $200,000 worth of USDT. Panic set in as I realized I might never see that money again. I scoured the internet for solutions, tried every recovery tool and software, but nothing worked. The more I searched, the more desperate I became. It felt like I’d lost all hope when a friend recommended Passcode Cyber Recovery. I’d heard mixed reviews, but at that point, I was willing to try anything. I reached out to Passcode Cyber Recovery, and they responded promptly. Their team walked me through the process, explaining what they could and couldn’t do. They asked for details about my wallet, the circumstances of the loss, and what I remembered about the seed phrase. It was a thorough process, but I appreciated their professionalism as a week went by, and I hadn’t heard much. I’d almost given up hope again when they contacted me with an update. They’d made some progress and needed more information. I provided what they asked for, and a few days later, they informed me they’d successfully recovered my seed phrase! I was ecstatic. I couldn’t believe it. They gave me step-by-step instructions on how to access my wallet, and to my amazement, it worked. I logged in, and there it was my Bitcoin and USDT, safe and sound. I transferred them to a new wallet immediately, just to be sure. I’m still in shock, to be honest. Passcode Cyber Recovery did the impossible. I’d heard stories about people losing their crypto forever due to lost seed phrases, and I thought I’d become one of them. But they proved me wrong. Their service wasn’t cheap, but considering the amount of money I would’ve lost, it was worth every penny. I’d recommend them to anyone in a similar situation without hesitation. They’re the real deal.
