Hi Belle, my name was Wendy, we met at Castlewellan fair, didn't manage to get on here last nite, think I was too depressed at my 2 days of poor sales at Castlewellan, packing and unpacking the car! I'm at Warrenpoint next Saturday too. Hopefully you did well?
Met Choco's husband on Saturday too and had a chat which was lovely as I was feeling a wee bit down at all of the effort for a loss!

I know, I was at my other job the day you had to ring up so had difficulty getting through and there weren't many places left by then! Never mind!

The weekly car boot sale at St James's church in Whiteabbey is not a good selling place. Myself and another crafter with cards and jewellery tried there and it was not good. I just about made the site fee.. that bad! Don't even go there! The locals hassle you and try to get your stuff for less than you could make it for.

Soaps go down well at sheltered accomodations. Think about approaching managers of folds etc and going there to sell. The sheltered accommodations pressure managers to get people to go "show and tell" and I know from experience they are good places to go as many residents can't get out and about to shop and buy a lot especially around Christmas. Try a sheltered accomodation near you folks! The managers have to organise stuff and likely would be glad of a visit.

Listing is free this weekend on eBay... Dunno if the offer just applies to me or not, but it's worth going on there and waiting for a free listing day/weekend. Money saving tip.
