Good thinking giggle - BTW if anyone's doing any valentines crafts.
Home bargains are selling little bags of red chocolate coins with little heart stickers on in pks of 10 (near the entrance not in the sweeties section) for either 29p or 39p - nice little fillers for your valentines crafts!

ASDA are also doing some own brand "Love heart" type foamy sweeties in their 3 for £1 or 39p each range. I think they're fruit flavoured - pastel colours.

I'm doing a fair this weekend in seaburn, sunderland. Its really popular and has limited spaces i've only managed to get a space for january and December, unless someone drops out last minute that's all for the year!

My only valentines themed thing is gift jars. I'm doing micro gingerbread hearts "all my love"
& gingerbread "raining men" in decorated jam jars (leftover from my jam session at christmas).
I was going to do giant gingerbread men with a foam or iced heart on their chest and call them "the perfect man".
I'm also going to take a visit to makro (a wholesalers near us) and buy a big box of those foamy hearts (£2.99 box) and fill the remaining jars with those, for people who aren't keen on gingerbread.

As its bloomin freezing i'm going to put all my hand-made crochet scarves on the table too. They got lots of interest last time, but we hadn't had the really cold snap at that point so i'm hoping a bit of a chill might encourage buyers.

I usually sell baked goods but there's another lady doing scones, brownies & mini cupcakes etc so i've emailed her in advance and made sure we're selling different things. Its hard enough to drum up customers without having to try steal them from other stall holders, plus its a bit mean really! I make jewellery but there's loads of people doing that too - so i'm going to just bring some of my handbag charms & keyrings and ebay my other jewellery. I also make polymer clay photo/card holders but i've only got christmas themed ones left so will have to make some more of those tonight & tomorrow to try get a decent stock built up.

I must take some pictures to show you guys - if I can find where hubby has stashed the camera!

Here we go giggle - they're not all decorated with tags, ribbon and cellophane in these pics but i'm sure you'll get the idea.

The cupcakes are using your instructions. I hope you dont mind. On the tags i'm going to put a link to the blog. Please ignore the background...I had them lined up along EVERY surface before wrapping them!

and here are some of my beaded keyrings & mobile phone charms....



I also make polymer clay goodies such as photo holders, here are my penguins and ducks...I did make some snowmen at xmas and some pumpins for halloween but they didn't sell


Here are the polymer clay charms which I use for keyrings & mobile phone charms.

Stunning i would so love to be able to make things with polymer clay i got some penguins once off ebay to use on cards (they had flat backs not ones you could stand up) i loved them but could never find any more and just couldnt make them myself
