Hello! :) In Berlin there’s a design market called Trend Mafia which regularly takes place on weekends and at which people sell handmade items. I went there last year and it was the first time I’ve been selling my products at a market. I was not very successful and only sold a few items, but it was a good experience and I had just started selling my handmade products on DaWanda a fews weeks before that date. The market at which I had my first own booth was last year in September, more than one year ago. :) In the meantime, I have nearly sold 200 items on DaWanda and I thought it was time to try it again! :) I applied for one of the many dates in December (during the Christmas season, the market takes place every Saturday and Sunday) and this time, they immediately accepted my application. :))
I’ll be having my own booth at the Trend Mafia on December 4, 2011, from 1-7 pm. This time, it takes place at a really central place, namely in the Hakesches Quartier at the S-train station Hackescher Markt. (Wow, it sounds really weird inserting German proper names into English sentences… :P).
If you’re from Berlin and want to visit me, I’ll be happy to see you, so save the date and come over to say hello and let me know that you’re one of my blog’s readers, I’d love to meet you in person. :)
There’ll be lots of vendors who sell handmade items like clothes, Christmas decor or accessories. Can’t wait, I’m already preparing my table’s decor and I’m thinking about which products I will take there and of which I have to make some more. :)
I’m sooooo much looking forward to this date! :)
Here are some photos of me and my booth last year, and after December 4, I’ll share some more of my second attempt of selling my items at a market. :)

Eeee, this is so exciting! I am sure you will do so much better this year :) You have progressed so much and have a tonne of new things too. I hope it goes well for you and I wish I could come and visit (and buy all your crafts) x
Wie toll! Ich wünsch dir ganz viel Erfolg und viel Spaß! Leider bin ich ja weit weg von Berlin, sonst würd ich echt gern vorbeischaun!
LG Steffi
Go, go, go!!! This time will be your time :)
Have fun and lots of customers!

Wie schade, dass Berlin so weit weg ist!
Die Location klingt ja wirklich sehr gut. Wir sind gespannt, wann wir es mal auf die Trendmafia schaffen. Am gleichen Wochenende organisieren wir hier in München mit MUNIKUM.de unseren eigenen Markt.
LG
Von mir auch ganz viel Spaß und Erfolg. Berlin ist etwas weit weg, sonst würd ich vielleicht mal vorbei kommen.
Viele Grüße, Denise
So sad that not all of you are living in or next to Berlin so that you could visit me!
Liebe Nauli, das klingt auch toll! In München war ich allerdings noch nie. :)
