sunny, fair, and new bag!
very sunny today, definitely Pimms o’clock weather, so I had a couple while at the local school fair, which was fun, because I know loads of people there, but only sold 2 corsages!
But I was next to a couple of ladies who were basically selling tat! But look at how great my table looked!
So this was my dry run for Handm@de, and I think it looks sunny and just right, it will of course not have two lots of Johns photos (don’t how we are ever going to sell them even though they are completely fab!), and where they are I will have some of my framed felt, so all good : )
This week it has been manic, doing stuff for Handm@de, doing my new job (more about that another time!) and working on a new range of bags!
This is one of five, not all blue, but all made from Linen, with an adjustable strap, zipped pocket inside, and a padded flap, woooooo! I’m so pleased with them, and I can’t wait to show them all to you. They will be finished later this week, so they won’t be in the shop for at least another week, sorry! But tomorrow there will be a new shop update, at least 8 new bags and some corsages, keep your eyes peeled : )

Hi
It’s a bit dis-heartening when nobody much buys anything, isn’t it? I experienced that, and it made me doubt what I made was good enough. But I think it had a lot to do with the location of my table and other small things. I sold very well one day and not so well the second. On the second day two friends sat with me and chatted. and I think we might’ve put people off browsing because they may’ve felt self conscious about looking at things while we were laughing and joking around.
Anyway … the point of all this rambling is that I hope you weren’t put off and you can sell next to nothing one day and masses the next. It’s one of the peculiarities of craft shows I suppose! Best wishes Valerie

Your stall looks really professional. Sorry you didn’t sell much, as you said someone nearby selling tat doesn’t help. Loving the look of your new bag design. Vx
