Leamington Peace Fair / Festival

Well I have got on to Leamington Peace Fair but now its a festival apparently. Very exciting cos I didnt think I had. A fellow trader I know heard about 6 weeks ago he was on so its quite a surprise and its not long away ( june 13-14) so I just hope I will have enough stock to do it. Could have done with longer to get it set up. Also have already outgrown 8/10 ft market stall and now also have a table which is fine till it rains so today have had to rin g up the company who make them and order so evtra bits to extend to a 14ft ( because we have an 8 that extends to a 10 we will now be able to have a 8, 10, 12, 14 ft stall as needed which is a bonus. Also buying front extensions to make it better in the rain cos by the time theres a plastic sheet up there is no/ very little space to get customers in! I am really excited about Leamington peace fair. Have not been since around 1989 and apparently its grown from about 12 stalls to about 150!!!!! And we will be there!

I am now making candles and room sprays too which I have sold one of each already and they only went on the stall on saturday. Did not do very well this week end but sold enough to replenish supplies for new products and now finally getting round to buying gify fair trade stuff to go with everything else. We need a bigger range to get the company to work cosw if it carries on like this I need to get a proper job!

I am encouraged tho. On saturday was ready to pack it all in but then I just cant stay dismal for long I spose. Made more bath bombs today and will do the rest of what |I need for this week tomorrow and then off to banbury cross ( literally!) on thursday to do the market for the second time. Thden was going to milton keynes friday but may have to leave that till next week since sold more by the looks of things over bank holiday than I realised so may need to do friday making new stock for the weekend but I will see how much I manage to make tomorrow. Now time to pay tatty`s blog a visit I think!

mouldy moisturiser

My moisturiser went mouldy. Only one but worrying.Maybe they dont keep that long. Maybe someone opened that one. Like home made jam it goes off. Maybe thats good cos proves it natural etc but I am not so sure itd going to be good for business!Talking of which my first ever hit( as in to my website I mean) called me. Well he may not be my first hit but either way hes the first to ring me up and I was very unprofessional and just said hello not "Brackencraft" or can I help you or something professional sounding anyway I need to professionalise myself a bit and the result is there are paypal buttons now and they work! Have yet to do them all - takes me ages!

Maybe I will one day achieve self sufficiency after all..........
Now time to read everyone elses blogs. I have been so busy for ages................
