Well, we did it!  Our first craft market stall!

When we arrived and were shown our table, all 12 foot of it, we thought we’d manage about half a table at the most, but amazingly we managed expanded to all 12 feet without it being overspread at all. In fact, much less wouldnt have been quite enough!

We had a lovely day in all, and we managed to cover all our costs, which was our goal, seeing as nobody really knows we are there.  Lots of people took away our details, but the best bit was talking to the customers.  I’m usually plagued with shyness, but just a ‘Do you knit?’ here and there resulted in some lovely and interesting conversations, and they were all really happy to talk about their knitting, past and present, proving that knitters really are some of the nicest people around (as if it needed proving!).  We had really positive comments about the stall, the colours and even the name!  We went home tired but positive, and looking forward to the next one…..which is…13th September.

Almost set up.  The place is an almost derelict hotel which is the markets temporary home until the Corn Hall next door, it’s usual place, has been refurbished.  And here is a picture of what’s opposite:

A bit of Cirencester Parish Church.  Lovely, n’est pas?

That’s all for now xx
