Gathering my thoughts!


I have never had a stall at a craft fair, in my life !!

I do admit that I've run school fete craft stalls and been to a few car boot sales with my wares. I've sold a few goodies on ebay and I've made bits and pieces for friends (or do I call it being commissioned?!!LOL ;-)

But never a 'professional' fair...never one entitled 'VINTAGE AND HANDMADE FAIR'

And now I'm going to one! ;-)


The Vintage & Handmade Fair to be held on Saturday the 22nd of November 2008 at Rangeworthy Village Hall, nr. Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire. 10 a.m - 4.00 p.m.


It's now...



I have until...


I'm rather excited, not to mention..well you can imagine..PANIC!

I roughly know what I'm making and taking... but I know that time will fly and I really must get a move on!



So if I do get a little behind with my blogging, you'll know what I'm up to...snip snip!

  5. I wish I could come. I was thinking of asking Michele and Jayne if they could set up a webcam! I wish you well with your sales on the day. If you have just a couple of seconds to spare, there is an award for you to pick up over on my garden blog. x

  6. I did caft fairs many years ago and never got into the swing of things so to speak. I'm a very organised person but even so I used to be up till all hours of the morning faffing and packing...such a perfectionist, everything had to be just so! I'm sure it'll all come good for you and everybody else taking part. Boy, there'll be some blogging going on post V&H fair!

  7. I feel like the kid that couldn't go on the school trip! I wish I could come and visit the fair but I live too far away and don't drive so I couldn't carry home all my purchases! Will you all take laptops so you can carry on blogging as you sell?!!! Have a wonderful time in the preparations and the day itself.

  9. Good luck with it all Sal, I am so sure you are all going to have lots and lots of fun together, at least the worry will be collective! I have done lots of craft fairs before and have always had a good laugh with my partners in crime!

  13. Oh I wish I was near enough to come and see your stall and meet all the other bloggers!
    Perhaps I should organised a car share from up here for all the local to me bloggers who fancy making the trip??
