Help! Can anyone tel me where i can buy cello wrap sheets or rolls - really need it for a fair on Saturday....I'm in Newtownards so preferably somewhere not too far to go get it!

Don't go to flower shops they are too expensive, go to Horners on the boucher road

Just back from an awful Craft Fair at Bangor Rugby Club. No Customers. Was supposed to have been advertised but friends of mine who live 5 minutes away said that they hadn't seen any advertising. No posters or banners at gates to Rugby Club which is on a busy road that leads to Bloomfield Shopping centre - so lots of passing traffic. Not even a cup of tea or coffee and to crown it all the people who organised it packed up and left before many of the crafters!!!!!

Oh that's desperate!! Have family in Bangor and they heard nothing about it. Will steal their local paper and see if it was even advertised there. Not that it makes any odd now. Is it worth complaining? Says it all when the organisers go home early!!

Unless you are actually a florist, I don't think Horners can supply you. You need to be VAT registered and have an account with them as far as I know. That's the case for me anyhow...
Petal Power in Newtownards is my friends shop and they sell cello by the metre, and maybe even by the roll.
Reids Florists on the Lisburn Road is where I worked and they sell by the metre also.
Other than that Craft World on Queen Street in Belfast is a good bet.

Thats the one i was thinking about but couldn't remember the name - i asked my friend and she has got it from them before for wrapping hampers

Don't blame you! Its not in the local freebie paper. I'm not a crafter but can appreciate the time and effort that goes into preparing for these events - must 'annoy slightly' lol
