After all the panic about the Craft Fair last weekend, it actually went well. I’d spent ages working on stocking fillers (owls, hair clips etc.) which were popular, but I also managed to sell lots of Christmas presents too. Two of my handbags went which means I’ve got two left to list on the website when I get a chance.
I managed to chat to lots of lovely people about my work and the Guides. It was lovely to hear feedback.
The raffle organised by Victoria (@Butterfly_Craft) in aid of Help For Heroes went well too. I won a prize of an oil painting and hand painted cards from the talented Maro Kirby (www.angelatmyeasel.com) who was on the next stall. I donated one of my Snowflake Christmas stockings (http://bit.ly/tlMYmy) which was one of the first prizes selected so I was thrilled!
At Remembrance Sunday service and parade the next day, a lovely woman stopped me as I was taking the Guides into church. She’d bought one of my peony cushions (http://bit.ly/uj5vzk) and wanted to tell me how much she loved it.
Next year I might try to increase my craft show attendances and develop the business more, but with a healthy book of commissions, two 5th birthday parties to organise for the craftyguidelet, and Christmas, I have plenty to keep me busy.
