Fremont Market

Today I had to drop off some work in Seattle and decided to visit the Fremont Market, which happens every Sunday year-round. It's a diverse market that includes farmers, food and flea market vendors. I was looking forward to finding some things cheap that I could resell on eBay, but I found that the prices were more in line with what I'd expect to pay at an antique store rather than at a flea market. So that was a little disappointing, but now I know! Also, I found one vendor who offers a treasure trove of items I can use in my mosaics--watch parts, Scrabble tiles, and more. The prices were more than what I wanted to spend today, but I can go back some other time when I'm feeling more flush.

Since I've only had time to start doing mosaic art in the past year or so, I haven't yet ventured into selling at any markets or art fairs. I'm starting to think about it for next summer, though, when my "day job" is completely behind me and I've had time to build up some inventory. In the meantime, I'm ready to start trying to sell some of my mosaics online. I know I'm definitely going to need several different streams of income once my job is over, which will probably be around the beginning of September.
