Children's brooches

Well I have been a busy bee!  With only 12 weeks until the christmas craft fair, I spent all weekend making little tote bags, and this afternoon I've been making some little brooches.  Here's a sneeky peek....

Strawberry brooch

 

 

I've made some strawberries, owls, cats and frogs so far.   Ohhh, and check out my little tags I've made to display them on!  I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

 

I have a busy few weeks ahead of me and am trying to get as organised  as possible.  I know it's early but I have some paper bags all made up with my logo on and I have added a little leaflet and business card to each bag which will save hassle on the day.

 

 

 

They will also have "Find us on Facebook" printed on the bottom, although I am still waiting for the stamp to arrive in the post.

 

I am so excited to be doing my first fair (can you tell?).

 

Right, I'm off to make a few more brooches while the hubby gets the kids reasdy for bed and then I shall be having a well deserved restful evening.  I have some X factor to catch up on!

Delapre Abbey Annual Christmas Craft Fair

I am delighted that my application for the Delapre Abbey Annual craft fair was successful and I have a table booked on 25th November 2012.

My Mum is going to do the stall with me and has been making some P.E bags and bag charms to sell too. This will be our first craft fair and I am a little nervous, but also excited!  I have been trying to find some pictures of craft stalls to get some inspiration for how I will set ours up.

I LOVE how this one is set up with the cute bunting along the front of the table.

I have bought a Christmas themed banner which I will display on the front of our table ...

 

 

And lots of baskets to display things in.  Now to get making!

 

Unfortunately I will not be taking on any more custom orders for the run up to Christmas as I get some stock together.  I still have a full time job, so time is limited with just 12 weeks to go!
