Had the local village fete yesterday & I did much better than I ever thought I would. And there were 5 jewellery stalls in total, so I'm very chuffed. There was such a lovely atmosphere and everyone looked like they really enjoyed themselves.
I have been asked by 3 seperate people if I would be interested in a stall at local craft fairs, etc. So now I know how crafters find out about these things. And another lady asked me if I would be interested in doing a jewellery making workshop/class type thing for the Brownies. She wants them to make really simple braclets for instance, but something nice and special which they can take away. She ordered a charm bracelet so will discuss it with her when I drop it off.
But what really made my day, is that Rebecca Front (http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/content/images/2007/09/18/rebeccafront_3_396x222.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/people/rebecca_front_person_page.shtml&h=222&w=396&sz=17&hl=en&start=2&sig2=LRHgVHkhjUzOC2Srz5l_Og&tbnid=gIyDcKX3K3OMeM:&tbnh=70&tbnw=124&ei=b9ZwSPi7CoOy1gbMs8mABA&prev=/images%3Fq%3DRebecca%2BFront%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%2 6sa%3DG) of Nighty Night & Big Train bought a necklace for her daughter from me :) I told her that she looks really familiar and asked her if she's an actress. And it was her! I saw her later on in the day and she was wearing the necklace - must've nicked it from her daughter :)
So all in all a very successful day.
