Craft Fair.

Well, the craft fair was a bit of a wash out. The pic is my table, i know there's not much on there, nor is it displayed very well, but it was the best i could do at the time. There weren't very many people coming in to be honest, and a few other stall holders actually said it was one of the worst ones they'd ever been to! But i enjoyed it all the same, i met new people, some very talented people! Some really beautiful crafts, i'm afraid i didn't get a chance to take photo's of other stalls. Quite angry with myself as there really were some lovely things. Not least the local chocolate factory's stall! Lovely dark chocolate covered coffee beans kept me going all day! I'll be back with better pics of my bags, and cute little tissue holders. Any ideas on how to effectively and prettily display bags would be much appreciated!

  1. I'm afraid I've given up on craft fairs at the moment....lack of people! It doesn't seem worth it does it?! Your stall looks fine though. xxx

  2. I save boxes & cover them in pretty paper of fabric, it gives a bit of height variation to my stall. Having said that, the last couple i've been to have been a waste of time, too few buyers through the doors.

  3. Thank you both! I had planned to place boxes of different heights under the tablecloth, but forgot to bring them from my Mams. lol. Will have to be more organised for the car show in July as i have to bring my own table and everything!

  4. I used to do the craft fair circuit when I made cards - at times it was thoroughly demoralising! If I were you, I'd make steps out of stacked boxes, drape some nice velvet or white material over it and prop your bags on each level - people might be able to get a better view of them then.
