Glad That's Over!

No Etsy Friday this week, instead..

I'm back from the 'craft fair'! It went ok for a first go, though it wasn't really a craft fair. It was more of a shopping evening, as I was one of about only 3 stalls that had handmade items.

I turned up at about 6pm armed with my army of ami's, and set up the stall. As it was in a nursery the tables were tiny so I had 2. Here's me *waves* sat behind my ami table, crocheting to keep myself amused lol!


Here's my second table, with bits like stress balls, flowers, keyrings, scarves and magnets. And Pet Rocks. I had loads of Pet Rocks lol! Check out that tiny chair in the background! They're toddler chairs! I had to sit on that for hours!


I felt really exposed sitting behind my tables. I'm very judgemental about my stuff and felt like people were, well, judging me lol! I didn't like it atall and wanted to go home, but I stuck it out and stayed.

Here's a pink Monstie guarding my money, and the square I was crocheting for the Knit-A-Square charity.




I took my Mum along for help and support, and about an hour in my Dad, Nan, Auntie and Uncle turned up. Also at the event was an old friend from school; she had a stall selling jewellery and cards. I really liked her stuff, especially the bracelets. I haven't seen her since leaving school in 2001 so it was nice to catch up.

Here's me hiding from my Mum. I hate having my photo taken lol


All in all it was a good experience. There weren't many people there to be honest, but I made a profit so it wasn't all bad! Now I have the big one at Brentwood coming up. That IS gonna be busy!
