Well, I attended the 2nd of my two events for this weekend and to be honest, today didn't really have any more people attending than yesterday.
I can only think the footfall is so low due to people going off to sunnier climes but what also doesn't help is that due to the economic climate people just can't afford those sort of items that don't count as essential so they stay away so they're not tempted.
Mind you, I can't complain, I managed to sell a one tier nappy cake and a photo album so made a little bit of money.
I'm not booked for practically every weekend until Xmas attending various different fairs and events. I do enjoy it (much more than the day job!) as talking to people about what I do is kind of therapeutic. I also gave away a few leaflets so you never know, they may generate some orders.
Obviously if the phone does start ringing off the hook, you'll be the first people I tell.
Have a great week :0)
Handmade nappy cakes can be created using baby items from any shop you would like to specify, in any colour and be as small or as big as you like. Containing items for both the baby and the new mum, prices start from £10. I can ship to anywhere in the UK for a cost starting from £6.50 per cake.

Today's event
Well, just a quick blog as only just come in the door, but I attended another craft fair today in Essex.
Followed the sat nav and ended up going down some seriously small country lanes, but found it in the end. Apparently when they held the same event at Easter it was heaving with people, but today hardly anybody :0(
Still managed to sell one nappy cake and a moneybox though so can't complain too loudly.
At a children's nursery event tomorrow so will keep you posted on how I get on. Keep your fingers crossed that I do better for me!
