Hi there Ruth

Im going to Ballynahinch and Ive only started since July so still wet behind the ears! What product do you sell?

M

That's brill I sell jewellery and cards. What do you sell...is it books? I felt Ballynahinch was a safe bet to be my first as it isn't too expensive so I should be able to cover my expenses. I'm researching a number of companies to find items to display my items on and I have to figure out where I'm going to get a table cloth!

Hi Ruth

I got a cloth in Dunelm Mills in the Boucher Road. You can buy it by the metre and get different colours etc of curtain material. I sell kids books - the Usborne range. I'll see you in Ballynahinch!

Hi all....

I'm a newbie to the forum after being told about it yesterday at the Babies & Beyond show in Banbridge Leisure Centre!
I met some really lovely 'Crafty' people there - and they suggested logging into here for more show/Christmas markets ideas etc. So here I am!

One question though... apart from the one up-and-coming 'Crafts Only' show in Banbridge, does 'anything' go at any of these shows??? Why I ask is, I am not selling crafts at all, rather it is childrens scooters (3 wheeled things called a 'Fliker') - Does this prohibit me at either the shows? Or relevant to this forum??

Many thanks in advance. ;o)

Welcome to this happy band!!!

For a table cloth, even a sheet will do - you don't want to spend too much at first. Sometimes creative ideas work better than spending a fortune anyway, at a recent fair I saw jewellery displayed on old garden pots and tools and it looked brill!

Good luck with your crafts!:j

Just phone the organizers up and ask them, some are craft only, others craft and gift where anything goes.

hi koolz...i sell silver jewellery which i do not make myself - i buy it on wholesale, the organisers of each will usually state wether they want HAND CRAFTED ONLY items or not, i apply and state what i sell, if they want handmade items only they will let me know! hope this helps :-)

how was babies+beyond?
