    It is amazing how much we all have those thoughts that our stuff is not good enough. I have done craft shows in the past (prior to getting bit by the quilting bug) and they are a lot of hard work and nerves hoping things will sell.

    I have seen your work and it is beautiful. I am sure you will sell lots of stuff. What types of things are you going to have?

    Your goods are beautiful and creative...your Chalet will be empty by the end of the second day. I love the idea of dressing up Sherm. hehe What an attraction but make sure you but a leash on him.

    Hallelujah! You know when I plan things in my mind - for you - that things happen. I am totally thrilled!!! I am so excited that Stewart and Heather can still put some fire in your furnace!! Yeah for them - oh, and yeah for you, too. Be sure to show us pictures, okay.

    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Daisy.......I doubt that you will come home with anything left over except a handful of money! Your work is creative and beautiful! I like Karen's idea of bringing Seamus.............maybe you could do a small wall hanging of one of Seamus' adventures! Wish we could all come shop.........have fun and good for you!

The market is set in the ancient Castle in Oxford, in the old prison yard lol. there will be mulled wine and entertainment going on all day so hopefully that will put the crowds in a buying mood eh? My 2 days are the 22nd and 23rd of November 11am to 8pm so from now until then I must make stock.

    Lets hope I don't come home with everything I make!! EEEEEEK.

    The work involved and the fear I would not sell anything (how embarrassing ) has always put me off. I worry I won't be well enough too, but I have been promised that 'all hands will be on deck' to man the stall and that I will have a comfy seat..........so ok......here goes, wish me luck.
    A castle...are you kiddin...and wine to boot...I want to go so badly!!!!

    I think it's a wonderful idea and wish you many, many sales. Seamus as an added attraction is a great idea. I'm sure he can gather up a crowd.
