'I Love Craft' Fair @The Civic 17.11.12

Yesteday was the 'I Love Craft' Fair at The Civic in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. It was a moderate day, I made the most sales in the morning and then at lunch time it really dropped quiet. The customers came in drips and draps for the rest of the afternoon. However some customers had said the event was poorly advertised and had only caught sight of an A4 poster in the reception area of the Civic. Other craft stall holders said they had heard the same comments. I suppose it's just one of those things though, some craft fairs do amazingly well, really well advertised and greatly attended....then other fairs are just a dud, which is a shame and I'm sure there are crafters that end up making a loss at times. If you have ever attended a craft fair and had a stall/table there, please let me know what your experiences are!

So anyway, here are some photos of my stall at the event. I was also selling some of my Mum's hand made cards and stuffed bears, as well as some 'Woollies' items, which was a business that me and a friend did whilst at college and I still have some leftover stock.

Ladies Indulgence Evening Craft Fair

Last Thursday, Hannah Elizabeth had its first craft fair! It was at Darton College and was an evening of crafters and beauty treatments, along with a fashion show. It was lovely to meet other stallholders at the event, I always like to talk to other people and listen to their story of their businesses. However, we only just about covered the stall cost and I only sold one item which was a little bit of a let down.

My fingers are crossed for the next event on November 17th at the Barnsley Civic for the 'I Love Craft' Fair as it will be closer to christmas so I hope to sell more for potential Christmas presents.

'I Love Craft' Fair @ The Civic

On November 17th, I will be attending the 'I Love Craft' Fair, at The Civic in Barnsley (my local town) and this is the first fair I've booked for Hannah Elizabeth. I'm also looking to book another fair that is on mid-October but I am yet to send off the booking form.

The fair is on 10-4 and I'll be bringing all my collars, bags and cuffs. I'm also sharing the stall with my mum who will be bringing some hand-made cards and hand-made teddy bears. So our stall will look a pretty nice mish-mash! 

I attended the Civic fair last year as well when I was doing another business with a friend. It was quite successful so I thought I'd best attend this year too with the same hopes.

Wish us luck!
