It was lovely to see so many parents and family members at school. The fair itself was as manic as always. being straight after school it’s always very well attended. This was the first year they’ve really invited parents to have their own stalls and it was great to see the variety of items available. I was next to a lovely lady from Artysan Gifts who makes bespoke framed gifts. It was her first ever stall and she did really well. I wasn’t surprised as her frames are beautiful. I wonder if I can find a reason to order one for someone?!
There were two Asian food stalls and another card maker too. Fortunately we weren’t quite next to each other and our cards were very different in style, so we appealed to different tastes.
I decided to go with a ‘name the cat’ competition in the end. It drew in quite a few of the children (and staff). He ended up with the name ‘Garfield’ and was won by a little girl from year one. I sold quite a few cards as well and some knitted and crochet items. So all in all it was a successful fair for me, as well as for the school.
I hope they invite us all back for the next fair at Christmas!
Happy crafting
