Not only is the weekend the Jubilee weekend BUT is also host to the White Friday Walks and Famous Band Contests - so footfall will be good.

Hi

I'm just in the process of organisng my very first craft event. eeeeek!!!!  I've only been planning for a week or so but have already got 8 stalls booked, so now the excitment is kicking in.  I suppose the scary bit will be on the day waiting for customers to turn up.  Its going to be advertised all over the internet, on every crafting site I can find and also locally like radio, newspapers, schools, lamposts :-)  I'm trying my hardest to make it different and fun for all…

Jurassic Coast, Dorset

Ahahaha I love my mother in law, really, I do.



She calls me at 6pm this evening to say that she's booked a table at a boot fair this Sunday and would I like to bring my crafts along to try and sell a few?



YES!  But...



I don't even have enough finished items to fill a basket!



So, frantically sewing all evening, and most of tomorrow, as we need to leave for hers tomorrow evening at the latest, and my sewing machine is playing up.  I could really have…

YES! It's almost here :-)


Stamford... where it all started. Where I did my first craft fair, where I organised my first craft fair in December 2009 and where I like doing as many craft shows as possible!

Hope to see you all there!

Hello there! Im a new member & would love to join a group from the South West if there is one?! Im desperately trying to find good craft fairs to sell at in my area. Any suggestions?
