Hello everyone
It has been a lovely day here, chilly but reasonably bright and we had a little sunshine. It was rumoured that snow was likely to fall this weekend, so no snow means happy days.
Many thanks for everyone who visited and commented on my blog post of last Sunday and my apologies for not returning the compliment to everyone who dropped in. It has been hectic here and as anyone who is involved in selling knows this is just the beginning of the 'mad time'. That time of year when everyone, yes us included, realises that time is slipping away and very soon it will be last posting time and the shops are shut and it is too late to get that last present you wanted to buy.
However, before that happens we still have lots of making and selling time, so all is not lost. Five of my fellow stall holders from the Secretts three-day event have opened our Christmas Emporium; which is based in the Secretts Christmas Marquee. Yesterday was our first day and for me it was very successful - much better than day one of last year's Christmas Shop. We have arranged a rota between so that we don't have to do every day and today was my first free day - boy was I glad of some time at home as I had a large order to sort out and get ready for collection from the Emporium tomorrow.
A short post today as I have some hearts to decorate for tomorrow as I only have one of my large willow ones left for sale. Have a great week everyone, don't forget to visit the other bloggers taking part in Handmade Monday and if you are local to Milford, Surrey, please come along to the Christmas Emporium. Not everyone is selling handmade goodies and I am sharing my spot with my cake-making friend, but there are lots of lovely things to see (and buy of course)
See you next week

I like the sound of your 3 day Christmas event - and sharing out the rota is a great idea. If I lived nearer I'd definitely come and see it!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you are really busy. I will have to back track and read last weeks post. It sounds like your willow hearts are really popular. Have a lovely week.

What a fabulous idea to share out the days for the emporium, I'm sure everyone needs a break to start getting those important Christmas things done. It's great to hear that things are selling well too.
ReplyDeleteWhere does the time go? Everyone is so busy, and every weekend is booked up. Hope to see you at the Emporium sometime this week x.
