November 3rd and 4th Christmas fairs in Woodstock!

It's time to start thinking about getting those Christmas presents! 

I'll be at the Woodstock Town Hall this Saturday (10-5) and Sunday (10-4) with lots of bookshelf necklaces and teapot earrings and Christmas-y extras! 

Come and visit if you want to browse around and say hi :)

Cards and Hungerford on Saturday

I've been noticing how popular cards are at craft fairs.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Like how people walk in, buy 8 cards, and then begin browsing the rest of the stalls.  I guess it's because everyone will need a card eventually!

I guess I'm just not much of a card person myself.  Maybe it's because they're pretty but just get thrown out?  That's sad.  I keep special cards though, so I thought - if I made cards but make them really special - maybe they wont make me feel bad!


So I've got some card supplies and am making some cards to go along with my jewellery - if someone is purchasing a gift, they can buy a pair of my earrings that dangle in a scene on the front of the card - then it's a card and gift all in one!  So far I've made 3 - lets see how many I can do before the craft far at Hungerford town hall on Saturday!



Pretty Hungerford



Oh, have I not mentioned I'm going to a craft fair at Hungerford town hall on Saturday??

I love Hungerford, it's a pretty little village full of antique shops and tea shops. 

I'll upload some photos of my cards to come - so far I have ones for my new mallard duck earrings and sheep earrings!  Gosh it takes a certain type of person to love my jewellery doesn't it... ;)

Second Craft Fair!

That's right, I've had my first and second craft fair this month!  The most recent was in Kentish Town in London, at Torriano Infants School.  It was so fun to go to a school and see all the little kiddies running around...

Here's a picture of me at my table, ready for the day!

My lovely husband also came and helped out.  Or, went and found nice things for us to buy!  There were some really nice tables and we came home with some chilli jelly, a tin of green tea, and a felt badge I swapped a pair of my earrings for!

It was a lot shorter than the last one (and so were the tables and chairs!!  Kid size :)) so I think it went better than the first fair I did.  There were more people, and I sold a bookshelf necklace!  I also sold two sushi necklaces to two little girsl who were best friends :)  They now have matching sushi necklaces around their necks, so sweet!  With that and some pairs of earrings, I considered it a so-so successful day.  Not bad at all considering it was the COLDEST day I've ever experienced in May!

Where is the Spring?  Soon we're going to be expecting Summer let alone Spring!

My First Craft Fair!

That's right, I executed my first successful craft fair on May 5th, and I didn't die or anything.

It was actually a lot of fun!  I was so nervous beforehand, simply not knowing what to expect; but it was super straightforward.  Bring items.  Find table with name on it.  Set up table.  Sit for 8 hours and chat to nice people.  Done!

There wasn't an incredible amount of footfall - one seller mentioned this was the first craft fair she'd been to where she hadn't sold a SINGLE THING (gulp)... but luckily I was able to sell a pair of my teapot earrings within the first few minutes!  Unfortunately that just set me up for dissapointment, as I didn't sell another pair until 2 hours later!  At the end of the day I had sold 5 sets of earrings, 1 set of hair clips, and one set of 3 pairs of earrings.  It was an alright start, and I'm excited to be going back again for both the Saturday and Sunday at the beginning of June!



My items all lined up and ready to go!
