Since I unpacked everything from my last craft fair just over a week ago, my workshop has somehow gotten into a big mess. Most of my storage boxes are half empty because I’ve taken items out of them when looking for specific items that people have purchased, and I haven’t bothered to put the others all back again afterwards which isn’t quite like me!
Some things are wrapped up, some things are waiting to be put away. I’ve got work in progress drying out, and orders being made in the middle of all the chaos!
I’m looking forward to getting stuck into all of the mess, and sorting everything out properly. I’ve got my big show coming up at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta next week (blimey, it has come round so fast!), so I need to get everything packed up ready to go. I’m happy with the amount of stock I thankfully managed to make over the past couple of months in preparation. I’ve had a few random orders from new customers that have phoned up out of the blue wanting to buy items for birthdays coming up. I’m happy and grateful for these orders, and glad I made so much stock now! It is also nice to know that people who have picked up my leaflets at previous craft fairs are genuinely interested in my work.
My shops will be on holiday mode from 10th – 16th August, so please be sure to get any orders in before then!
Ohhh I love the balloon fiesta, though bit far away these days. A friend of mine used to be one of the balloon organisers and a couple of the other guys I knew did bits and pieces or flew so we used to sit inside the display ring during the night burn. It was really pretty. I think Mark still does part of the organising. Have fun. xxx
