I had a fantastic day at this event yesterday, it was one of the most successful craft fairs I have ever done! I was very impressed, especially because it was the first year the event was being held. The flow of customers coming in the door was pretty constant all day, it got very busy at lunch time and my stall got swamped at one point! I had customers queuing up to pay for items, I was buzzing!! I got to the venue nice and early so enjoyed setting up my stall with plenty of time.
The Warwickshire Exhibition Centre venue where the event was held was bigger than expected, there were around 100 lovely handmade stalls to explore. There were 2 very cute Alpacas in a pen near to the entrance, I can’t believe how soft their fur is! There was also a Santa’s Grotto, plus free craft workshops for children to make their own Christmas crackers.
A huge thank you to Claire at Lady Luck Jewellery for organising and promoting this craft fair. She worked her socks off!
As always, I got to have a walk round in the afternoon when it got a bit quieter, thanks to Dave who looks after my stall for me (and also carries all my boxes, loads and un-loads the car, etc!). I managed to talk to some of the other stall holders and admire their stunning work. These are just a few of my favourites;
- 1. Orange & Cinnamon Soap Slices by Just Soaps.
- 2. Fingerprint Jewellery by Kirstie Darnell.
- 3. Three handmade ceramic heart buttons by HodgePodgeArts.
- 4. Beautifully felted items by Creative Bumble Bee.
