Love this quote - can I put it on a heart?

Feeling a bit better - anyone for garlic oil and cider vinegar - thought not, but thats the homeopathic remedies, plus am off wheat awaiting the results of blood tests!

Anyone thinking of doing craft fairs without insurance should look to the example of 'Celtoi Designs' not sure if they are still going or not, but two great guys who decided to make afew mirrors and lamps to sell at craft fairs - thankfully Nicky McGarry who was running their first craft fair at St Georges Market insisted they take out insurance. As they parceled up their second sale, a lamp the child with the customer just touched (or hauled) a mirror on the display which fell and hit her on the head - the mirror was considerably bigger than her, as was the insurance payout considerably bigger than their takings that year!!!!!! From what I remember the child was not bleeding, knocked out or anything and certainly made a full recovery - or perhaps she is still terrified to walk past mirrors, I know I am, but possibly for different reasons!:beer:

Not sure how or where you got the information about "Celtoi Designs" as it is completely innaccurate, highly misleading and bordering on libelous.

There was no accident / incident that I am aware of at any Craft Fair such as the one you describe and much less any insurance payout as you have mentioned and seem to know so much about. As to how you know this, I can only be curious and feel you have used a large degree of 'atristic licence' and imagination in making up your story, as there is no way you would have even had access to this information even if it had of been true- which it most certainly is not.

There is one small element of truth in your story however and that is that Nick McGarry always insisted on ALL exhibitors having Public Liability Insurance as indeed do most reputable people or companies organising any such events.

I would appreciate it if you would correct any inaccuracies and misleading information contained in your post, which in fact is most of it, and just for the record Celtoi Designs ARE still going strong and in fact doing extremely well.

Hi there celtoi designs

i know this is none of my business but i would rather you send a pm to smokiewater about this matter. I dont like any negativity on the forum and im sure any misunderstanding can be sorted out privately.

I agree, and if you know Smokiewater she would NEVER say anything which she thought was untrue.

I see from your post that this is the first time you have posted on the forum so I presume you are a 'looker'
