Holywell Christmas light switch on.

29/11/2014

Yesterday was my first Christmas craft fair of this year. It was part of the Holywell Christmas light switch on, and inspite of the cold, damp weather it was a wonderful night!

The day started at 10:00 and was a bit slow to get going at first. This prompted a couple of stall holders to pack up early, however had they stuck it out they would have found the rest of the day to be a big success.

My new pallet display unit

I debuted my new pallet display unit, which definitely helped me dislplay my stock in a more visually interesting way. I also used my new table for the first time which saved me from a mini will-itfall-over panic whenever anyone knocked it or there was a small gust of wind.

A nice sturdy craft table!

My new bottle top keyrings made their first appearance.

The flowers friends were at their usual adorable best.

A lot of the children mistook my red gazebo for Santa's grotto!

The official light switch was at 5:00 but I had my own little one at around 4:00. A little assistance from a street light would have been very welcome, but my little camping lanterns didn't do too bad a job of lighting up my stuff.

My new fairy lights looked very pretty in the dark.

Despite a slow start this craft fair turned out to be my most successful one yet, and I will definitely be returning to Holywell next Christmas!

The Holywell Christmas lights!

Another lovely Plassey craft fair

28/7/2014

This Saturday just gone I was back at The Plassey near Wrexham doing another craft fair hosted by Memory Lane Fairs. It was a beautiful sunny day and the turn out was even better than last time I was there. Thanks in large part I think to this:

The amazing new castle play area at The Plassey

A beautiful owl that came for a visit.

It was the grand opening of the new castle play area (of which I am extremely jealous and plan on replicating as soon as I can afford to).

The opening was officiated by a flurry of balloons released into the sky by the children from the local Eyton school, closely followed by a child stampede as they rushed across the drawbridge into the castle.

My stall at The Plassey

This craft fair was the debut of my lovely new display stand made for me by my wonderful boyfriend Stu out of an old pallet. Isn't he clever!

My new display stand made from pallets!

Below are a few photos of what I was selling on my stall. Look out for the ewoks!

This was the lovely view I had to get me through the day.

Until the heavens opened that is!

It's fair to say we all got thoroughly soaked, but there was only an hour to go so it wasn't so bad.
At least it was refreshing!

Plassey Craft Fair Saturday 31st May

1/6/2014

My first craft fair of 2014 was a lovely one; the weather was gorgeous, the footfall was bountiful and my fellow stallholders and I had a wonderful time swapping stories of craft fairs gone by.

customary 'come-and-visit-me-at-such-and-such' photo

The day started off a bit shambolic. It took four of us to erect my 'easy gazebo' ('wheezy gazebo' seems more appropriate these days - I think its best days are behind it poor thing) and then my customary 'come-and-visit-me-at-such-and-such' photo wouldn't upload to Facebook due to the lack of any sort of signal (I've featured it however above because I quite like it). After that though it was a lovely day!

A variety of Art Bunny goodies

Art Bunny woollen brooches

Weird highlight of the day

The AMAZING wooden castle/fort park that is being built at the Plassey right now, and which I can't believe I forgot to take a photo of! It's got a drawbridge and everything! Children get the best things.

Art Bunny wooden badges

My first craft fair of 2014 will be on Saturday, so today was spent putting the finishing touches to all the crafty goodies I'll be selling. I'm very excited about my new wooden badges that will be premiering at the Plassey - I hope other people like them as much as I do!

These photos are a sneak-peak at some of the bits I'll be selling. Here's hoping the sun has got his hat on!
