NEWS: Then and Now Beads pieces flew off the shelves!
Building on the success of the previous two years, my third year appearance at Hachette's Carmelite House charity craft fair was the best yet in both sales on the day and commissions thereafter. This year's event was in aid of the National Literacy Trust and that wasn't the only change. A few months before, I invested in a SumUp machine, which meant that card and mobile phone payments could be taken on the spot.
Also new was a limited edition range of pendant necklaces featuring gorgeous, unique pottery discs sourced from a local charity shop, donated by a local potter. Whilst all ranges sold well, the necklaces made from these discs were the undisputed stars of the show.

Following previous years' craft fairs, I'd been fortunate enough to have a small but healthy number of commissions. This year the amount and ambition of commissions was even bigger, involving a lot more co-creation with customers, which I found really exciting and enjoyable.
