Craft Stall at the Kilry Produce Show

The 20th of August was very excited and much anticipated day, I had my first craft stall at the Kilry Produce Show!

I booked a table 3 months beforehand, so had a while to get myself and my stall ready. The first thing I wanted to get done was to create my first business card, as the produce show was a really great opportunity to get the word out about The Creators Goody Bag. I went simple, and this is the result:

I have to admit, having these made me feel quite the professional!

The to do list continued the grow, and I carried on plowing through it,

One big 'to do' was to make a display of my pet portraits, showing the variety of products in my shop, and potenitally having some commissions on the day. My dad also suggested that I could make a timelaspe video of the drawing process of a portrait, to make it clear that I really do draw the portraits rather than using a software to create them. I'll upload that time laspe up here ASAP!

I'm really pleased with how the display turned out, and can be easily used again for future craft stalls.

The main focus was making enough products to fill up my table and to not run out. As about half of my products are digital downloads I wanted to make them avaliable on the day, so I printed out some copies of the colouring pages, and also edited the embroidery patterns for a already printed out version (something I've wanted to do for a while).

I also got knitting and sewing, and made fabric jewellery trays, some more tea bag bookmarks and a very sweet baby jumper with embroidered badgers (which got the most amount of interest on the day!)

And suddenly the day arrived!

I had a little panicy moment during set up but soon settled in and started chatting with the other stall holders, which might have been my favourite part of the day! It was so cool to see other crafts, and chat about how they were made, and also tlk about my own products and process.

I'm really glad I pushed myself to do this, and it really did give me a boost in confidence in myself and also my little shop. I'm really looking forward to doing this kind of thing again, and to steadly improve my stall!

Thank you to everyone to stopped by and supported me.
