Aldborough Creative has been and gone and it's back to the day job. But I had a great weekend and the good news is I sold all my hats. I even have orders for more. And I sold jewellery as well just when I thought I was going to give up making it.
Dave thought I was mad making so many hats but I'm glad I did. I wish now I'd done more but my hands were getting red raw.
Interestingly the scarves didn't sell so well. I only sold one out of five. Below is what my stall looked like once I'd set it all up. I took it in the evening just before the private view so all my stock is on display.
We were really busy Saturday night and all day Sunday. It was so nice chatting to everyone. And Gill from DosieRosie braved in through the morning fog to come and see me. There were so many people about I didn't get so much chance to talk to her as I would have liked. Sorry Gill, let's meet up for coffee soon.
It was so nice selling out of hats because this evening I could place an order with Sara's Texture Crafts for lots more luscious wool.
I'm so pleased that you had such a great success. To be honest it's not a surprise that your hats went so well they are beautiful, I'd buy one but I need to try hats on as they don't always suit me. Well done, makes it all worth while.

That's a great result! I like the look of the hats... you'll have to make some more :-)
Hope you can get to Holt on Saturday... I need to get my 'rehearsal stall' set up!

Congratulations on such a successful day, wonderful! Interesting too, that the hats all sold yet the scarves (which I always think are a good seller) didn't!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your felt creations.
