Macpep . That's such a shame and they all look fab too . I hate car boots we did them regularly for over 10 years but i couldn't cope these days.

Suziebea . Tea bags are really hard to find asda sell twinnings in earl grey and fruit teas and green tea. For normal tea i bought a huge box of 1,000 on ebay cost me 45.50 which works out about 4.5 pence each.

Thanks for all your replies. What is the best size of cello bags to use? I have found some greetings card bags on ebay (not sure if they are the right type?) but no idea what size would be best for reindeer poops

I got these ones, craftygranny pointed me in the right direction

oh dear macpep that's a shame all your hard work (and lack of sleep) only to be turned away.
Fingers crossed you get some craft fairs lines up - or you could try what I am going to do which is head off to a toddler group and try and flog my wares there

Oh no macpep1, what a nightmare! Have you tried looking on www.stallfinder.co.uk or http://www.craft-fair.co.uk/Diary.cfm?NextDate=0 No doubt there are more websites with craft fairs listed on them. Good luck finding a fair to off-load your stuff!

I have helped her a lot with her childminding stuff so I am sure she will help x I am so tired, I need sleep and I am also in the painting my daughters room :eek:. Night All x

Hi Everyone, I seem to have looked through the thread half a dozen times and still for the life of me can not see the link to the ebay seller to get the best deal when it comes to cellophane wrapping to wrap up pints of socks. Can someone direct me please.

Also I have seen pints with a black and white pair and then pints with 2 black and one white... what do people use in the main and how much do you charge? thank you. x
