This Saturday will see me at the Mother’s Day Craft Market in Didsbury, Manchester:

It’s being held at Ivy, Ddisbury in aid of Dignity.  I’m told there’ll be a fab mix of stalls selling all sorts of handmade goodies.  I’m really looking forward to it - a great place not just to buy Mother’s Day gifts and cards but also gifts, accessories and treats for all sorts of occasions.

Craft Fairs are a great way to build up your own little collection of internet shopping sites - sites where you can buy something different and quite special from individual small businesses and designer/makers.  I make a point of asking for cards or website details from stalls I really love.  That way, it’s so-ooo easy to return anytime to their online store and make a purchase.  Most stallholders at craft fairs have websites these days.

If you’d like to pop into Didsbury and have a lovely mooch around the craft stalls, Ivy is in Barlow Moor Road, M20 2GP.  Come along and say hello!  It’d be lovely to meet you!!
