On Thursday I had a table at an '
Autumn Shopping Event' at a lovely little village school in Cambridgeshire. The organiser found me through my
facebook page, and she sent me an invitation asking if I'd like to attend. It was held in the school hall and started at 3pm untill 6.30pm. I went and I had a lovely time, there was a wood turner, a jam and chutney maker (mmm the jar of Banana & Lemon I bought is yummy), a Jewellery maker who sold lovely fresh water and seed pearl pieces. There was a lovely lady who knitted and crocheted wonderful Ruffle Necklaces and Scarves. It wasn't an exclusively handmade event but it was very pleasant non the less.
Did I take photo's?...
No,
did I remember my camera?...
Yes,
did I forget to take batteries?...
No, but I forgot that they were flat,
silly me.
My best sellers (besides my
Fairy Doors) were the
Christmas

Chalkboards

Do you like my display tree? I used a couple of twigs from the garden, painted them white and sprinkled it with glitter. I set the twigs into a tub of stones and plaster of Paris to make sure it was sturdy.
I had a successful and pleasing afternoon, I hope you all had a pleasing week too. I'm off now to check out the great blogs over at
The Handmade Harbour blogspot

It's always nice to hear when people do well at craft fairs. Banana and lemon jam sounds intriguing! I hope you got lots of orders as well.
ReplyDeletewell done you I'm so glad you had a successful stall, not surprised your products are great :)
ReplyDeletethey look great and I love the display tree. It reminds me of my grandma's Christmas branches that she used to do instead of a Christmas tree. In fact, I may do the same this year as I have no room for a tree but it's nice to display some decorations. Hmmm, food for thought!
ReplyDeleteoooh everything looks lovely! i'm glad it was a successful event for you :)
ReplyDeletei do love your display tree and its funny you should mention it as i'm in the process of creating something very similar! x
Glad to hear you did well at the Craft Fair. Lovely goodies you hace made. I have heard so many people who have had disappointment at Craft Fairs which is why I have not done any this year. It is nice to make things for myself this year!

P.S. I do a Friday Funny every week! xx
I have done that with the camera before, so much to take and that is the last thing to think about but am sure your stall was wonderful. I love the twiggy hanging such a good idea. I love your countdown boards, have a good week
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good time :)
ReplyDeleteYour hand painted Christmas decorations look beautiful
I am not at all surprised that your black boards were popular. I love painting twigs and using them to display eggs. So glad that you had a successful time :)
ReplyDeleteAll your goodies look gorgeous so it's not surprising to hear it was a good event. I love the twiggy display, very effective.
ReplyDeleteAwww I love the count down to christmas chalkboards :-) Glad you had a good afternoon & the twiggy display is great! Simmi x
ReplyDeleteThe chalkboards are a lovely idea and I really like the hand painted tree ornaments. I'm not surprised the fairy doors sold well I thought they looked amazing. Have a lovely week.

Really love your display...what a great idea!! Am not surprised you did we'll Jan, your work is always gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteGreat display tree! Your chalk boards are lovely- I love counting down to Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a successful time and your little tree is perfect. I can remember doing something similar not so long ago but I was amazed at how difficult it was to get just the right twig!! Some are too big or too small, then there are too many or too few branches etc. etc. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you had a good time. Your decorations look very nice, especially all those smiling snowmen. Batteries always seem to be flat when you really need them.
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are lovely, Jan and a great idea to display them. I like the time of your event - I am guessing it may have attracted people on their way home from work. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI love your chalkboards and your display tree works really well
ReplyDeleteReally love those chalkboards

ReplyDeleteYour chalkboards look festive and fun, as do the twigs and the decorations.
