Here it is, my little craft stall at the Vintage and Collectors Fair last weekend. Thanks to all of your best wishes I had a good day even though it didn't start quite how I expected and I was very nervous being a craft stall virgin and all!
It doesn't look as though there is much there but golly it all took a long time to make!
Actually... if you think, I created every item on that table then...yeah, I suppose there is quite a lot there for 5 weeks prep.
Lets have a little walk around the room, it won't take long as it was only a small room. The big hall was already in use for the usual monthly auction, so space was extremely limited but hopes are high that it will expand over the next few months.
This is Keith with all of his goodies.I especially liked the three black and white prints of Whitby.
Paulines table with some beautiful shell purses. 
Here's the lovely Jenny's stall, well half of it,
here's the rest, look at all of those scrummy fabrics, very tempting indeed!
Can you see that gorgeous floral tapestry dangling at the front, swoon!
I must say a big thank you to Jenny for looking after me so well.

The fair went down very well even though the weather misbehaved itself very badly indeed. Gales and horizontal rain with lots of local flooding.
Actually it's no better today so I've spent the day uploading some pretties to my
Elegant white lavender bags made from vintage linens and lace.
Hippety hoppety embroidered bunnies.
A rosey round cushion
and a lovely one off piece of vintage embroidered linen, now a plumptious cushion complimented with a bit of 30's style border.
And the very popular Springtime Bags
And this...
Well temptation got the better of me...
The most wonderful length of vintage paisley eiderdown fabric just happened to float over from Jennys stall to my shopping basket.
Don't know how it happened!
Honest!

Your table looked fantastic and it looks like it is a great place to browse and shop.
So pleased that it went well Fiona - as you say the weather was appalling, so if you did well on Saturday then it bodes well for the Summer.

I want to buy something from your 'folksy' shop but how do I do that without joining 'folksy'? It said when I try to register that I would be opening a shop =(....you can delete this then if you don't mind. Thanks & does paypal automatically pay the American version of your British money? knittermag at yahoo
Oh it looks as though you had FUN. I do love the atmosphere at fairs and the chatting that goes on behind stalls. You offerings look gorgeous. I wish I had lived nearer so that I could have popped by.
Oh Fi, congrats on your first craft stall,it looks wonderful, you have been busy.
I should imagine heading into Spring that the market will expand, so hang in there.
Love your lavender bags, just gorgeous, along with your beautiful bunnies and bags.
The eiderdown fabric,is gorgeous, my fave combination of colours, can't wait to see what you use it for.....
Hope the weather has cleared up a bit, blue skies and sunshine here, after a verrrrrrry wet weekend.

Your stall looked lovely, I would have been enticed immediately if I'd been there. Your bunnies are so cute and they must have been so much work.
I love that green paisley fabric too. I have a thing for green and paisley, so I can understand how it wound up in your bag.
Have a great week,
Anne xx
