I wonder if there are any more places for this event?
After last night.......well.......Im saying no more!!
Although I got a few ideas for my stall......

I received a call from a well known PAPA rep.....she is going to be organising a fair after christmas....and has asked me if I would be able to get stallholders....Mmmmmm YES i said..(cause after christmas everything kinda goes slow and stop!!!)

Belle.....still lauging at your massive reindeer!!! I loved it and its bits!!!

Oh......rathfriland on sat....not allowed to sell any food products...including reindeer food and snowman soup!!:(.....But hey Ho!!

Yes Rach.......lol, dead end streets!! Sat Nav was next to useless!! I just wanted to cry!!
Im getting organised for the fair in rathfriland on Sat....lots of making up to do!!
DD was so delighted with her gifts this am....she was up @ 6.45 am.........but she is away to school as happy as larry!!

On your other point if it rains on sunday then people wont want to be outside, or if it absolutely baltic people will want to be in the heat!!:)

Maybe ask thomas to advertise tea/coffee and a biccy in the Hall????? Warming ect....or ask him to put on warming spiced applejuice!!!!;)........or even both!

rachel got your message but was at ryans mums most of the day so it snot long came through as shes is in a bad reception area. i wasnt being rude by not texting back lol. i was going to miss it as had a bad night and day and kimmy was being soo naughty im in kilkeel tomorro so hopefully its a good turm out have loads i wanna do but no energy so thinking of just raiding the wiondow in the coffee shop in the morning pmsl.

cant believe how lost we got ill not attending this sunday as i thought was slieve croob and after visiting last week it was soo cold it would have killed me standing there allday. but i will be going to wherever the 20th event is being held. i need to ring belmont as my cheque hasnt been cashed so hoping its not gone walkies.

Aw, have a great Christmas Bead Mad and hope to see you soon x Yes, Ballance House was ok but as you say I was a bit peeved that having been originally allocated a table inside I was met by another stallholder on my arrival and told oh, hope you don't mind I've swapped with you to be beside my sister / have come all the way from England etc etc or in other words I'm now in the warm and you are in the barn!! After saying that we had great craic out there and I did ok over the day so nothing a nice hot bath and a glass of wine couldn't fix! This week I have: Ballymacash Primary in Lisburn on Thursday nite, Meadowbridge Primary in Maze Friday nite, Rathfriland on SAturday and Slieve Croob on Sunday (OMG Belle, not looking forward to that one any more am so fed up of being cold and wet!!) so.... busy week - anyone doin any of the above that I can look out for?

Hi Rach,

I havent been on in a few weeks and just came across your post - I htink you were in the barn with my mum and dad! I sent them down to sell the handbags becasue i was at st georges christmas market - dear love them, they managed to sell 6 pairs of tights and came home chilled to the bone. lol They said they had great craic too so at least thats something!

I agree with you all re the fairs - they are totally hit and miss. The ones that I have done well at are the big ones with the footfall. I think for next year I will stick to these. Im not really a crafter and becasue my handbags are a bit more expensive, people just dont come out with the money.

Chocco - Ive just caught on who you are! - Im the handbag fairy who was opp you at slieve donard. I saw Brian at St Georges last sat - ridiculous about the elec. Hope he didnt pay!

Re the Slieve Croob I was booked in but I now see its shifted to Dromore - Im in two minds - but hey Ive got nothing else planned for Sun ...

Hi Harvsl, your ma an da are class! Ur dad was playing Bob Dylan off his phone coz we had no music so I joined in with 'combined harvester' (ooh aargh) off mine lol! I heard him on da phone telling you had sold tights - we were all in fits! V hard to guage which fairs to do - the large ones, particularly National Trust ones, are so flippin dear it's more of a gamble to book in - especially with the amount of jewellery stalls about at the mo! Glad to hear St G's goin well for you x
