I’ve been busy making lots of lovely button Christmas cards for my up and coming craft fairs – Christmas in the Loft [Adross Farm, Elie] and Magpie Market [Edinburgh]. I love my new printer! I bought it a while ago and not really used it yet. I bought a load of pre-cut/scored blank cards made from recycled card and have been pondering for a while what to do with them. But I got my thinking cap on last night and got productive.

I’ve got a couple of craft fairs coming up – one this weekend in Dunfermline and another the following weekend in Edinburgh. I recently bought some new stands from IKEA and have been dying to try them out and decide how my stall is going to look. So yesterday I just couldn’t concentrate on work and so decided to do a test run and set my stall up to see how it will look with the new stands. I’m delighted!

Well I did the St Andrews craft fair on Saturday. It was a great venue – a lot more roomy and spacious than the hall in Dunfermline. But I don’t whether it was beacuse of the crappy weather, the time of year, or that all the students started their exams on Saturday [???] but all in all it was a very quiet day. There were a few crowded moments and a few rushes of sales but all in all very slow. So I was quite disappointed by the end of it. I did meet some lovely people though.

Well the Charity Chic Fair is now over and I thought I would post up some images of my stall and tell you all how it went. I really enjoyed it. It was the first ‘proper’ craft fair I’ve done and I was really nervous about it, but I shouldn’t have been. Everyone was so lovely – the organisers and the fellow stall holders and of course the public, who bought so much of my stuff.

Here’s a picture of the main entrance [on George Street] to the event:

Come along to the annual eco-fashion exhibition and see just how ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ translates into clothes with a conscience and a chic new look.

That’s the blurb on the leaflets I’ve just received in the post about next week’s Charity Chic event in Edinburgh from Thursday 12th to Saturday 14th at St Andrew’s & St George’s Church on George Street.

I was at Heriot Toun Studio yesterday for my 2nd ever Craft Fair and it was great. I arrived on Friday, so was able to set my stall the evening before and not have to fret about it on Saturday morning. So no stress this time around.

Here are some piccies of my stall:
