The wonderful newly built Nyland Manor will be hold their first Christmas Fair. It promises a beautiful array of locally made Christmas inspired crafts, gifts and vintage. I am so happy to have been asked to be a part of it!
Nyland Manor Christmas Fair Gifts for Giving
Friday evening 6-9pm and then 10am – 4pm on the Saturday
Mulled Wine & Mince Pies available to purchase on Friday night, with festive songs from Cheddar Valley Voices. Vintage Tea Room open all day on Saturday.
Last Saturday I held a stall at Banwell Garden Centre’s Christmas Fair. It was a cold and wet morning and my toes were num within about half an hour of getting there. It was their first fair and I think a bit of a learning curve, organising an event takes a bit more than simply creating a Facebook page but they know for next time. They expected over 100 people there to buy Christmas trees but I think the weather put people off. It was very quiet and by 2:15pm someone started packing away and I followed suit, it was a shame it was so quiet but I literally could not stand the cold any longer (I should have taken a flask of mulled wine).
Welcome
It was slightly annoying that there was another stall selling cake stands at only £5 each. Without sounding big headed mine looked a lot better but people would always rather pay £5 than £10 but hey ho. The pin cushions did well though so I was happy.

Christmas Inspiration
It is sad to have packed everything away but I plan to do a lot more in 2014. I am actually organising a fair for the Spring 2014 in central Bristol, which is quite exciting.
