I'm posting some pics but my brain and its thinking power are still recovering so there will be very few words.
This is my stall, after three days it felt like home. It was hard work getting the fabric, bunting and prints up and organised but I was really pleased with the final result. It was bright and colourful, Lady Cavendish stopped and said it was cheery which is a lovely response.
Bags of bags, chillies and my daughter Astrid! (OH! I can also see a coffee and a Danish). Someone bought my favourite bird bag. Boo! Hoo! You can see it here under the large purple chilli print. I nearly never put it out because I wanted to keep it, at least its gone to a good home. I've decided to make more as it was a very popular point of discussion and a huge number of lovely people admired it.It was an eventful weekend- I've been asked to do four more shows and approached by two shops. Thumbs up from me!! Oh and hopefully we'll get lots of orders for prints on canvas
I sat next to these cushions for most of the weekend. What you can't tell from the photo is that some of them are filled with lavender and the hotter the marquee got the more potent the smell became, of course the smell was beautiful but it sent me very woozy!
This is the lovely and very funny Caroline Nash. She is such a talented crafts person check her out on Folksy @ http://folksy.com/shops/carolinenashcrafts
This is Gwen Bainbridge also very lovely and funny- I'm convinced this is something to do with designers working in ceramics. She kept me going all weekend because these events do have their tedious moments. Check Gwen out here http://www.gwenbceramics.co.uk/So now I have a massive list of things to
- Spend more time with my girls
- Get out more
- Tidy up my house and find out where the smell is coming from
- Tidy up my neglected and sorry looking Etsy shop (I've some new ideas for that)
- Blog more and give away some fancy prizes
Your stall looks fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was hard work getting it to look right because although I planned where everything was going, you don't know exactly what stall or space you have until you arrive. So I had to think on my feet! But worth it in the end. Now I can catch up with life for a while, read blogs and keep up to date, go for a walk, eat healthy, etc...
