I was in Sainsburys (as I often find myself on my lunch) and went to browse the homeware section. They usually have some nice homeware bits and pieces but to my surprise, I found myself wanting to grab and trolley and buy the lot.

I am very aware that Sainsburys often have a 25% offer so I will just have to wait for now…
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.

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.
