Poor business this rainy summer

[cuero123]

Any thoughts on how this awful rain has affected craft businesses around the uk. I have not been doing fairs for a while but I hurt for those who, no doubt, have struggled to set up in soggy marquees all over the UK.. Most crafters depend on a strong tourist presence to make their living and I worry that on top of the huge competition out there from imported cheap goods, this summer may be the final straw for some crafters.

My little business is going to struggle now, but we'll get there......chin up etc etc

Not done any craft fairs since Christmas . But we've got two outdoor events coming up in two and three weeks. Have to say im not looking forward to them unless somthing changes for the better.
