but the fire is so delightful,

Best start saving though.

It's scary, I'm trying to think about getting ready for Christmas but I've got 3 days of fairs & 2 shows (up to 5th Sept.), so I'm making stuff like there's no tomorrow for them!!
When do you start selling Christmassy items? I've got some fairs coming up in October - is that too early?

I think October is abut right. I have found that if I do craft fairs in December I don't sell as much of the Christmas stock because people have already bought their presents. October and November are generally my busy time for Christmas stock.

Cheers.

I had somebody on Wednesday buy some earrings and bag charms as presents for Christmas.....

[heavenlygirl]

A lot of my customers have been buying stuff to make their christmas cards since the beginning of july!!

[Sommerwood]

Ooooo scarey stuff, funny enough I was sitting there last night doodling some new Christmas designs, can't wait to get started on them because I just love doing my Chrsitmas stuff!!:)

Definately, alot of people I talk to are thinking about Christmas now, as soon as the summer holidays are over with, it will be on peoples minds. I think the weather has an effect though. If we have a warm and sunny September/October then people might think about Christmas a bit later. Be ready for October though, your competitors will be.
