Well I finally did it, I set up my own craft stall last Saturday in Scoil Mobhi. This was a long time coming and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was the school's Christmas fair where they had a seperate craft room. There were nine craft stalls including mine.
I set up the stall not quite sure what the plan would be. I was really pleased with the way it looked - professional. Emily, although only over her operation, helped me the night before by writing my tags that I wanted on my hand-knits. My son Paul and his girlfriend, Alicja, helped me in the morning to unload and get started. I was surprised at how much I sold, enough to cover my costs and keep me happy, but the best was the enjoyment I got from the day. I couldn't believe how comfortable I felt there. I think I have caught the bug.
The fair was quite busy but there were signs that people just don't have the money to buy at leisure only what they needed. We were supplied with cups of coffee and sandwiches which were very welcome.
My older daughter, Sarah, arrived early afternoon to keep me company, she is a real people person and it gave me a chance to browse the other stalls and get my Christmas shopping started.
I am booked into the Honest2Goodness market on Saturday 15th December, it runs from 10am to 6pm. It is a farmers market and they have craft fairs 4/5 times a year, I can't wait.
All set! |
