So, I took part in a craft fair last Sunday.... in the work up to the date I felt myself getting nervous with the anticipation of putting my work out there into the public view, it was good getting creative and productive again and I enjoyed the feeling. So I make the arrangements with my friend B to get there as she has a stall too, and also to have some company on route so the fear of driving somewhere new doesn't get to me too much! We arrive on the Sunday morning nice and early without any hitches and set up stalls. I felt kind of excited and proud of my work. However the excitment wasn't going to last, unfortunately the day passed and only about 10 people came through the door! Otherwise it was just the stall members and their friends who popped in to say hello to them! I did however make one sale, with thanks to my good friend RB. So all was not lost. I was a bit sad though because the idea had been to also raise money for Ostomy Lifestyle and I don't think too much was made in that respect either. I think perhaps the venue was too out of the way for people and craft fairs need to be held in places convenient to the public otherwise they won't come.... oh well, I enjoyed the day and catching up with friends so I can't complain. Here is a piccie of me by my stall:
