Sorry I have been absent again. It is the last week of the school holidays so we are trying to get everything together for the boys going back - I am so sure I am going to hear cries of “but where is my……” on Monday morning when we realise that we have, in [...]

My little guy was five years old, two days ago where has my baby gone? I know they grow up but I am sure your life is stuck on fast forward as soon as a child is born. They change so much each day you don’t notice until you look back at photographs.
When my [...]

Yesterdays craft fair went well, not brilliant but well. It was quite a small venue with only around twelve crafters. The organisers worked very hard and made sure there was a steady stream of visitors throughout the day and the other crafters were a friendly bunch. I am not sure if I am free to [...]

All my boxes are packed for my fair tomorrow, looking forward to it as I feel I haven’t done a fair in aaaaages.

Didn’t mean to be away for so long - real life got in the way again!

With the lack of customers lately at craft fairs and the fact I haven’t got many fairs over the summer I am thinking more and more of the need to get my new website up and running.
I am only writing this down in the hope that having said it I will feel guilty and then [...]

After not selling much at my last fair I obviously don’t have much restocking to do. I do feel I need to make a few new Fathers Day cards because all my Fathers Day stock is from last year, although thinking about it my next fair will be the day before Fathers Day so unless [...]

In all my years of doing craft fairs, paying hundreds of stall fees I have NEVER not made my stall fee back …. until now This Saturday Merchant Square was once again a blast furnace - fantastic weather coupled by lack of air conditioning meant a very hot and sticky atmosphere so it was [...]

Was at Merchant Square on Saturday.  I had a really good day, best day I have had all year actually.  Was very pleased.
I had two tables which is always good so everything was well spaced out.  Sold a lot of Fairy Doors, recently I haven’t sold many thought that market was drying up!
Unfortunately some of [...]
