THE HAND-CRAFTED HOME IN OCTOBER

What a super day we had yesterday at my Hand-Crafted Home Fair at Stanwick Lakes.

I have to say the prospect didn't look good - high winds and torrential rain all night, and still raining when I set out first thing, but as we were setting up the day began to brighten - the sun shone a bit and the rain stopped only to begin again as I was driving home - perfect!

We had really super visitors who were genuinely interested in what we do - they spent time chatting and asking about our work and most importantly - buying some of our work.

My stall holders too, as usual were amazing - truly beautiful stalls - and I never cease to be amazed at the diversity of ideas these fantastic artisans come up with.

Thank you too to Stanwick Lakes - especially Liz with all her help rescuing tables and chairs from the cupboard without causing a landslide, and for organising the free tea and coffee for the stallholders - and thanks to the lads in the kitchen for providing it!


SO A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO ALL CONCERNED and HERE ARE THE PICS!!

COME TO THE FAIR !!

Hi Everyone,

I can't believe that the next Hand-Crafted Home Fair at Stanwick Lakes is this Saturday - 12th October open from 10.30 to 4.30.

Well, I do know, but it does seem to have crept up on me this time!



We will have a full compliment of fantastic stalls, so do come along - it really is time to think about a bit of Christmas Shopping now - and what could be better than superb quality, original hand-made pieces locally produced - and made with love and care instead of being thrown together in some far off, dismal factory!!



This month you will find:

Semi-precious gemstones, pearls, crystal, glass and shell jewellery,


Really super greetings cards - so much better quality and cheaper than those in the shops!


Fleece Blankets
Hair Accessories
All sorts of knitting




Felt flowers
Candles



Soaps and lip balm etc
Home fragrances
Bag and wine glass charms
Children's clothes


Decoupage bracelets and picture frames
Button art
Small items of restored furniture and other wooden pieces.

Why not take a walk, call into the Visitor Centre for a cup of tea and a bun, and visit my lovely stallholders and me  - we will be waiting for you !!!
