I was really pleased with how I set up my section at the craft fair.

I made a few sales – mostly to friends and family but a couple of the gemstones I’ve had in stash went to happy homes with strangers. Plus I saw an Auntie I hadn’t seen for years! Not an Auntie by blood but Auntie nonetheless. So that was an excellent bonus.

The octopus received much love but came home with me in the end. However, my sister and I are taking about opening an Etsy store, so watch this space!

    I am sorry that dear little Octopus did not find a friend to latch on to! I love the button paintings! What fun!

      Thanks Kat! I’ve talked myself into doing a second sale at the start of December, since I have all these things ready to sell, so maybe that will be the time the octopus finds a new home!

    Sounds like fun at the craft fair and how awesome to be reunited with an Auntie!

      I hadn’t seen her in so many years but have so many fun memories of her – so it was like a twofer. Both a present day hug and a trip down memory lane

    It looks like your display was lovely! Part of my frustration with trying to do craft fairs was trying to guess what would sell. The Etsy store could be an easier way to deal with that. I’m exciting to see what comes next!

      Thanks Erin! I know folk have trouble with Etsy and their fees but we’ll give it a go and see how it works for us.

    It’s so good to see old family friends. Really surprised Octopus didn’t sell.

      I know – he was much admired but nobody took the plunge. Maybe next time!

    But did you have fun? Maybe you could try again a bit closer to Christmas when people are more willing to part with their money!
