A Successful Event At Sywell

Last weekend saw the start of our 3 big christmas events that we have booked for this year.
This one was run by Penine Fairs and was at Sywell Aerodrome and was a 2 day event.
As usual it was well set up and it was lovely to meet up with lots of members of the craft forum that i am an active member of.
We did really well over the weekend and sold lots of the £3 items that i had made which i was pleased about. Unfortunately my new gingerbread men and ladies didnt do well but i have now listed on my folksy site so maybe i'll have better luck there. If you fancy having any of these lovely gingerbreads hanging on your tree this year then you can buy them here from my folksy shop.
My favourite item at this weekends craft fair were these wine bottle cheese boards
made by Aldridge Architectural Glass .
Unfortunately i had no one to buy this for as a christmas present but i did think they were brilliant and quite unique.
It was a real priviledge also this week to be opposite Cuckoo's Nest Pottery. Kate, from Cuckoos Nest, is another member of the UK craft forum and it was lovely to meet her and chat with her.
I also bought some toadstools off her for a christmas present.


Kate demonstrates at fairs and below are some of her pieces that she was working on.
She also runs her own handmade fairs in the Leicester area and i'm looking into booking with her next year.



A lovely weekend both socially and financially.
Until next time.
