In this video I’m taking you along while I pack and get ready for a local market for my small business, Dashmal. It’s very much my real-life, behind-the-scenes process—getting everything organised, making sure I’ve got enough stock, and packing in a way that makes set-up on the day feel way less chaotic. If you’ve ever wondered what actually goes into doing a market (especially when you’re juggling mum life as well), this is exactly what it looks like for me. The market I’m heading to is the Ballarat Baby & Goods Market at Doug Dean Reserve, and I share a bit about why I love it—there’s a mix of new and pre-loved stalls and it’s just such a good vibe. Dashmal is all about baby essentials like toys, teethers, blankets and those practical bits you actually use, so markets like this are perfect to meet other mums and families in person. I also mention that this is part one of the process, with part two coming tomorrow, so you’ll see the full lead-up and how it all comes together.
