Hoping some of you local crafters can help me. I'm in NI and want to source some glass bottles to bottle my sloe gin. I want fairly small ones as I don't have an awful lot of it and several friends / family have asked for some - I was thinking around 200ml each. I've found a few online stockists but before I order from them I wanted to know if there were any local shops where I could buy them more quickly.

Thanks. xx

Try your local pub......just an idea:):money:and very moneysaving!!:rotfl:
You can sterlise glass bottles like Jam jars........you could get small green wine bottles they have screw on lids to.....which can be sterlised too!!

Is it Caledonian flavoured water that has glass bottles and they are a nice shape too......

Instead of bottles now dont laugh....if its for sloe gin why not a hipster flask.....it an unusual way of presenting an alcoholic present and they can be so pretty!!

Failing that, try Heatons, poundland, asda or even on a good day tesco, maybe wisebuys in belfast/lisburn!

Thanks folks. I love your creativity and positivity mumoffour, if only you could bottle that and sell it you'd make your fortune.

I might even buy some of those small bottles of wine to use. I'd have to drink the wine of course, waste not want not! xx

WEll folks its nearly time to start the new thread for 2010!! Can I suggest that when you hear of any new fairs, you cut and paste the main list and add yours to it, and delete any at the top of the list that have been and gone. That way we work from one list rather than having to scroll through pages of (Very entertaining!!) chitter chatter - teehee!! I'll start the new thread now and can you start to post anything for 2010 that you know of already - in the meantime - anyone else doing Belmont Tower?

Yes, me me me! Leanne rang me the other day to confirm and says it's 10 - 3 (not till 4 like last one). Should be good, she says Santa will be there and I would think atmosphere will be great - lets hope for a little snow but not too much to stop folk coming out! Bring on the mulled wine tra - la - la- la- laaa - la - la - la - laaaaaah! Ho Ho ho Merry Christmas!

Hollywood tomorrow..........again im not in the least bit ready!:(

Had to get 4 new tyres on my car today.........still no tree up either, I bought one today....Oh and I bought 3 soap and glory hat boxes from boots as well.......that cheered me up!! But today has cost me a fortune....In time and money!!

Tomorrow is going to be hectic in Belfast as its the last weekend of shopping before xmas.......I hope that there is a good turn out;)

I may have to take my DD with me!! And mum is heading off to england on tuesday to spend xmas with my eldest sister and youngest sister and 2 nephews......Im really delighted as my sis is just down the road from a massive hobbycraft:D....and everything that I make tomorrow will be given to mum to spend spend spend as she wishes:)

Right im off to make the dinner......and then take my 10 year old DS to a school disco!! then back home again to get organised:) In the email Gary said that you could bring your own table....I wonder if that means you still get one when your there?? Im a bit of a messy pup when it comes to fairs:) Isnt that right Harleygirl? And one table is never enough!!
