We have done our first craft fair in Colchester, Essex. I just took my LJJ items and some book cover collages.

This is my stall. I kept it very simple and uncluttered.

Vinyl as you have never seen it before, clock, bowls and so on. This lady sells at the Pop-up shop, in Chelmsford.
So I had such a busy day, no time to take any more pictures. LJJ was voted a hit by the customers and several stallholders complimented me on my work too. Plus I sold two pictures, several unframed works, brooches and cards. Also got booked for two more craft fairs. So feeling very pleased with myself.
The fair was very well organised, super flyers posted to all the surrounding houses, food was plentiful and really reasonable. Signage was also good, the hall is only 18 months old and car parking was plentiful. a bonus the lighting was great as well. I've booked for the next one.
Now I'm hoping to get in early on Handmade Monday, make yourselves a cuppa and have a peek at all the talented makers.
I love seeing craft fair pics - thank you! I'm not surprised LJJ was popular - she's fab! x

ReplyDeleteLovely to see you in action at the fair on Saturday Joan. Your work is superb so I knew you would be very popular with visitors & stallholders alike.
