'the playful market' ... who played ...

 i know that the playful market was weeks ago now but i think its taken me this long to process all ... it was such a success & there was such an amazing positive energy on the day & that has since continued to snowball about ABC ... so many of the stall holders mentioned to me what a fun, happy, energetic, 'playful' market it was & what a delight it was to be involved ... 
i'd like to introduce to a few stall holders ...
