So i took a slightly longer break than I had intended too! My poor social media pages have been a little neglected lately. I have been working on custom orders in the background though so it hasn't been a complete waste of time. Hopefully I can now come back feel fresh as a daisy brimming with new ideas!
So any of you who follow me regularly (or as regularly as I post :-P) will know that I had my first craft fair a couple of weeks a go. I was super nervous that no one would buy my stuff! I am happy to report that I did sell some things....yay!! I actually sold a couple of hats and gloves even though the sun was cracking the flags and it was like an oven in the actual Palm House!! I sold a few baby booties and brooches too. I met some lovely people who have been doing craft fairs a while and gave me great advice. All in all i would call it a success. I've already signed up to another one in September and a couple more I'm waiting for replies on!
It really was a lovely couple of days. A few of my friends came to see me and also brought me food from the lovely food stalls that were outside! The only downside was I didn't have time to have a nose round myself. I did pick up a couple of things from the stalls that were immediately around me. I got a lovely Bead bracelet from The beast Gecko, some bow hair clips from Moon&Bee and some lovely illustrated cards of Liverpool from Freida McKitrick.
Today I am planning to get super organised. I'm pretty sure I say this at least once a month but i really really want to do it today :-P I hope you all had a lovely Easter and I shall see you soon :-)
I'm really glad you enjoyed the fair and made a few sales. A shame you didn't get to have a wander about yourself too, but maybe at other sales a friend or co-seller could watch your stall for a wee while for you, so you can. :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm just loving the pictures. Your stall looks so colourful and inviting and the business cards look so good. I love that top one where you are wearing the hat. So pleased it was success carol - looking forward to seeing you do more!

I'm really glad you had a good day and sold some things. Your hats and fingerless gloves look good together, I'm not surprised they sold well, and your stall looked very colourful and nicely arranged. Good luck with the next Craft Fair.
