It was a great day at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre – The popular Christmas craft fair from last year was back today with a hall packed full of exhibitors and customers.
~My display~
This sign that I had up seemed to work well! People were buying items straight away instead of coming back later. It was so busy to guarantee items would still be there when they returned.
I was worried the snow might put people off coming today, but luckily it all melted just in time and it seems to have got a little milder now.
I took this snap of part of the hall just as the show had opened:
Here are a few images of sections of my stall:
My new ceramic plant markers have been selling really well since I launched them online last week. I sold quite a few today too, not many left now! I’ll have to make plenty more, especially because I’m thinking about approaching garden centres and flower shops with them.
My coasters were very popular as always! I have some new designs and I’ll be uploading these to my website this week.
I love the new shiny brown buttons in this basket:
All in all it was a very good day, the car was definitely lighter on the way home! It was lovely to put faces to names of some other exhibitors that I know via Folksy and the Crafts Forum.
A big thank you to my mum for coming and helping me today. Check out this lunch we got delivered to my stall, all for just £5! I think it was supposed to be £5 each but they only charged for one lot!
That is aa very clever idea to put a sign up like that Charlotte. There has been many a time when I have gone back for something later only to find that someone else loved the item too. Your table looks so lovely and very, very professional.
