A great craft fair...

Well, Saturday at the Byers Road Makers Market was very enjoyable - it was extremely busy with lots of interesting customers to talk to, and the time just flew by.  I also managed to surpass my financial goal, which was a bonus, so all in all it was a great success.

Going all the way through to Glasgow on the train felt like an exciting adventure and was actually very do-able (particularly thanks to lots of much appreciated help from my lovely Marc :D)

Here I am setting up.  Still a bit nervous but doing some kumihimo and origami helped to calm me!
The new hat pins and wooden brooches in particular attracted a lot of attention and lovely comments, so they were well worth the RSI I gave myself crafting away to get them ready for the show!

Byres Road Makers Market... this weekend!

An opportunity arose this week to make a last minute booking for a craft fair being held across in Glasgow this Saturday, so I decided to go for it!  It's the Byres Road Makers Market - organised by the same people who put on the Edinburgh fairs I have shown at in the past.

This has left me with slightly less time than usual for all of my beloved lists and tables and organising (maybe not such a bad thing?!) but I think (hope?) that I'll be ready... 

I'm going to be crafting like a demon over the next couple of days.  Fortunately some fantastic supplies from Etsy have arrived in time, so I hope to have some new styles available at the fair.

Hope I get them all finished!
If you're in the Glasgow area on Saturday, it would be great to see you there!  The market is in Hillhead Library on Byres Road and runs 11am -  4pm.
