81;44682612]Hi I just wanted to introduce myself as am completely new to this site. I recently starting making and selling cards to non-family members with not too much success so far even though i have a

facebook

page and sell on folksy. I have decided to bite the bullet and try out a craft fair (

i'm

completely scared stiff

incase

it bombs too).
Hoping that getting to know you lovely peeps will build up my confidence in my products. I'd be really grateful for any feedback on either of my sites I can be found as - Handmade by Jen

Thanks everyone[/QUOTE]

Hi folks,
Not been on here in a while so thought I'd pop on to say hi!!! Think i have met a few of you at recent events!!!
OMW, I did the Armagh Style Fair, what a disaster!!! Thank heavens I hadn't travelled too far, serious lack of potential customers, I was in Armagh & Portadown week runnin up to event & didn't see a thing!!!
Aww well, guess you just gotta take ur chances!!! Am giving the one in Newtownabbey a go, give her benefit of doubt, as she has assured me it will be better, here's hoping or i'll be looking a full refund this time not just 50%, lol!!!!

Also I have been trying to get in contact with MADuffin regarding the fair towards the end of September in Larne but no joys. Can any of you lovely people help me out?

Much appreciated
