Sounds interesting Claire, I know you have experience of craft fairs, so any tips gratefully received.
we bought the plain white smart price mugs, some hot chocolate sachets and some mini marshmallows and candy canes for stirrers, we use clear printed xmas bags to put them in and tied some mettalic ribbon on them
just remember your pricing though, to make a profit at a craft fair you need to add up the cost and then add your time then times by 2.1Boiler pot £30.92/£10000 -
Thanks for the ratio claire, very helpful.
I will tell my neighbour about snowman soup.

Don't know how much the smart price mugs are. There are plain white 'value' ones in Tesco for 25p each that look really posh. We bought 72 for our new business centre - actually I should say you (Europe and the Great British Public) bought 72 for our new business centre, but nice to know your public servants are getting you value for money eh?

Oooh the snowman soup sounds nice, wish I'd known about it in winter!
Glad they went down well Katsu, I thought they would. How did the cloth roses do?
Wish I was having a nice roast for tea, I got a piece of meat out of the freezer earlier, I think it's pork but haven't looked since it defrosted so it could be steak. A bit chocolate and hot cross bunned out though.
I'm looking forward to 24 later, last series sob.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
I have wine and Lindor chocs.
I need to shift some weight - wondering abut SW or WW. Did WW last time and did well but ----. When I stress I eat rubbish or nothing at all.
