Hi all

I thought I would update you on my weekend, It was great weather was hot and it was a bit blowy well a lot blowy I had to hold my gazebo down at one point

But the day was great lots of people and Iots of sales. There is a lot of competition with the jewellery but if you pursavere it pays off.

Thanks to the help of Nickie I got my mojo back lol

I cant wait for this weekend I have a nother two day event.

well done x we've done a couple of craft fairs but never really do that well

Yes, it's very competitive out there on the jewellery front isn't it! I adore jewellery and even make it myself- trying knotted stuff at the moment but I do get a little bit miffed when I see stall after stall at craft fairs all selling jewellery- it doesn't give anyone a fair chance at making good sales IMO. Some fairs will limit the amount of jewellery stalls and/or put you on a waiting list so there aren't too many jewellery stalls at any one event which is a good thing. Another thing which irritates the * outta me is that there are some amazing extremely talented jewellery designers and makers out there making real quality jewellery yet I only seem to only find poor quality basic stuff at the craft fairs I've visited. I've no idea why- maybe I've just gone to the wrong ones lol! Another thing I can never find is genuine cold process soap- loads of melt and pour and bath bombs etc but never a decent bar of cold process!
