I have been very busy with my crafting this week, preparing things for the stall I will have at the Children's School Summer Fair that will be held on Friday....
As well as the usual things I make I have tried to keep a large percentage of items under the £10.00 mark as I find that people don't actually take a lot of money to these type of fairs...
I have made a pile of these.....

A few of these denim Union Jack messenger bags...(£10.00)...

And button hair slides... (£3.00)
Wow!! I love all your items!! I have been thinking of making up some things for the christmas fairs around here and the same applies... The more economically prized stuff does better... but, you have to have your costs and time paid for don't you? These all looked super! I hope they do well!!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Adore the button slides! Wondered if you might like to feature as my next blog post?My Passport to Style features womens and childrens styles and fashions and we are practicaly neighbours! I live in Lancaster! Sharon x

How very cute. Such lovelies.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff Maria! Where did you get your fabric from (the stuff in the top photo)? I love it!!
ReplyDeleteMaria, this is a query rather than a post! Im following you but your new posts are showing in my blog feed. Im not sure if Im doing something wrong or not.....your blog isnt coming up on the list of blogs I follow so I dont get any notification when you have posted anything new. Any ideas? I love your blog and want to make sure Im not missing anything!! x
ReplyDeleteLet us know how you get on at the fair, you have some great things x
ReplyDeleteGreat selection, all those fabulous goodies should do really well at the school fair.
ReplyDeleteThose union jack bags are fabulous (you could guess I would pounce on those). Can I see a close up of the UJs, how have you made them? They lookk beautiful in all those different fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThey are fantastic - I love the hair bands, I have been growing my hair and like to wear a hair band during the day (do not like my hair in my eyes) but do not seem able to find nice colourful hairbands but yours are just what I would want - would you be willing to sell me one or two if I send you a stamped addressed envelope? can pay through paypal if you so wish. I love the pink spot (large and small).

Lovely little things! I am sure your stall is going to be a complete success!!
ReplyDeleteYour wise to make things that are under £10, in my previous job we had a family day fair and the little things sold out in a few hours!
Good Luck and let us know how it went :)
wow, busy lady! Hope the fair goes really well for you. I'm sure it will
ReplyDeleteSorry, still banging on about those fabulous UJs. Are they on flickr, if so could you send me a link to them so I can get them into my UJ group. I still think they're genius.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff - hope it all sells!
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy bee you are - I wish they had things like this at my daughters summer fete!!
