Fairs, Summer Plaques and Wedding Orders…

It’s been a lovely week. I went to the Sunflower Craft Fest
sunflower craft fest
which is planned to be my last craft fair, mainly because of time restraints. Whether I can hold myself to that, we’ll see!
I really enjoyed the event and it reminded me of all the things I love about fairs – friendly, welcoming, lots of inspiring and creative people (and local with easy parking – always a bonus!). There weren’t many customers, but they were buying, which is a good thing! The quiet spells between buyers and the teeny tiny size of the event made it easy to chat and get to know other stallholders.
I love the sharing of information and ideas (and, incredibly kindly, fabrics – thank you so much Sarah!) that goes on at these events.

I’ve also had a nice week of orders…not too busy but lots of summery things
the rain isn't stopping the summer-themed orders
and weddings

and now I’m off to Handmade Monday, where there’s another way to share ideas. Come and join me – it’s only a click away.
P.S. All items pictured above are available over on the website – personalised to your specifications if required.

I do like your summer themed plaques, a bit of sunshine through the gloomy British weather!
Thanks – although I’d love a bit of sunshine to match them
Your summer plaques are lovely. Often if fairs are not a great success, the people we meet at them makes up for this. I find I veyr often come away with inspiration for new things to make, plus lots of contacts. Hope you have a good week.
I totally agree – there’s so much about fairs that I love.
The summery plaques look great. With all the rain we’ve been having, I think the water will start creeping up on those beach huts
oh dear, you could be right. I hope that dune they’re on is high enough!
It was so great to have a good chat!

It certainly was!
I love the summer plaques-what a pity we don’t have the weather to go with!
At least we can feel a bit summery when we look at your lovely plaques! It is a shame for the weddings planned but lets hope they all have a good time anyway!
The chat at craft fairs can be the best thing, if there are sales too it has to be a good way to spend a day
looks like it was a very productive craft fair. Lets hope your summer plaques gives the weather a nudge
Wish people had been spending at the craft fair I was at over the weekend. Glad yours went well. Looks like a lovely intimate venue!
The summer plaques are super! Glad you had a good time at your fair Mich
Love the seaside themed plaques and that craft fair looks so good
Craft fairs are fun, but they do take up a lot of time and energy. I’m glad those who turned up were buying!
I love those seasidey themed plaques, especially the beach huts. I’ve always wanted my own beach hut!
I love your summer placques – and the red Beetle – it looks great.
i’m glad you had a good time at the craft fair, it is so lovely to chat and catch up with fellow crafters once in a while isn’t it
your summery plaques are gorgeous, i especially like the boat one – the sea looks so inviting! x
Great plaques Wendy. Glad you had a good fair, I find that these little ones are usually really friendly.

I agree, even when not financially successful, fairs are such a good way to meet fellow crafters and gain inspiration and ideas that you might not otherwise come up with.
That looks like a really sweet fair – sometimes the smaller ones are the best!
Your plaques look very summery and lovely

This looks like a perfect venue for a craft fair. Love the plaques especially the wedding one! Thank you so much for your help in choosing my koala’s name, I’ll let you know what I choose next week
I guess we’re all optimistic here in the UK that summer is going to happen… sometime! : )
