Hi all,
Just a quick post to tell you that our good friend Shelagh runs Craft and Gift Fairs and Events at the Bakewell Town Hall in Bakewell, Derbyshire and she has just opened a Facebook Page about it. Posts include event dates and times, as well as who is attending, directions, photographs and products and all kinds of things. David (with his RNLI charity stall) and I regularly attend her fairs as they are so well organised, delivered and attended by the public. Stall holders have some fabulous items including crafts and gifts, art work, photography, textiles of many kinds, jewellery, candles, outdoor ornaments, glass art and many other things. Please pop on over if you get a second and leave a comment or a Like.
Thanks for reading,
Julie.

The Goboka Rwanda Trust Cafe and Craft Fair
Hi everyone,
Just a small blog to advertise the event we will be attending tomorrow, The Goboka Rwanda Trust Charity Cafe and Craft Fair at the Bakewell Town Hall tomorrow, 20th April 2015.
Please see their Facebook page for details, they are a group of wonderful people helping make the lives of people in Africa that little bit easier. The Goboka Rwanda Trust is a small UK registered charity that supports and delivers projects to help the Rwandan people, their families and communities.
The fair is a monthly one held in the town hall and has a fabulous little cafe with some craft, gift and artist stalls selling lots of lovely things you wouldn't usually see on the high street, all designed and made by the stall holders. It has a lovely atmosphere and is a relaxing environment - the charity and the stall holders appreciate all the support they recieve.
My husband also runs his Royal National Lifeboat Institution stall, where he sells quality bric-a-brac items donated by very kind members of the public, who no longer have a need for their items and who would love to help support the charity. His stall is becoming well known for the quality of items, including such things as crystal decanters and glasses, named crockery and glass wears including Crown Derby, Moorcroft and Beswick etc, as well as antique jewellery, fountain pens and silver wear all at rediculously low prices. Buyers gain beautiful items whilst giving to the RNLI at the same time. It's a win-win situation. If you have any items you would like to donate for him to sell, please contact me or come along tomorrow and speak to David, or bring your items! Here is a look at part of his stall:
Each fair will be different with new items each time as the items sell quickly - piece of advise here: If you see it and you like it, BUY IT! It will probably not be there 30 minutes later. Bring cash. Lots. ;)
Anyway, enough plugging, hope see you tomorrow, doors open at 10am, The Bakewell Town Hall, Derbyshire, DE45 1BT. Plus, Monday is market day in town and always has a fabulous atmosphere.

Craft Fair
Well actually these details came a little later than expected...sorry about that.
The Crafts, Gifts and Food Fair has it's final day for the Easter break at the Bakewell Town Hall, Bakewell, Derbyshire DE45 1BT tomorrow, Monday 6th April 2015.
There are some fabulous stalls there, including textile creations - all owner designed and hand made, local beautiful photography and that of further afield, unusual and impressive hand made jewellery, a chocolatier with some truly yummy goods, my husband's charity stall raising funds for the RNLI and many more.
It is market day on Monday's in Bakewell so there is something for everyone and as it's a Bank Holiday it will be lively! A great atmosphere no doubt.
Doors open at 10am, if you don't know where it is once you have arrived in Bakewell, just look for the signs that say 'Follow the Sheep!" And don't worry, there is PLENTY of parking available and if you'd prefer, you can walk, cycle or bus it in. There are no excuses...
So, see you tomorrow!
Oh, and if you mention this blog, I'll give you 10% off any order over £10 :)
PASS IT ON!

New Items
Evening all,
Just a quick one to let you know off some of my latest projects...
First up, a Freehand Machine Embroidery Needle Case:
I really love using my machine for this tequnique and this little needle book was great fun to design and make. It is made using calico and cotton materials, it has two felt interiors for needles and pins and has a spotty ribbon to tie. So cute! It would grace any sewing kit.
Next up, this Patchwork Throw Cushion:
Although the lighting is not too brilliant in this (just wanted to show you!) you get the idea. It is made using fabulous upholstery materials, and it is embellished with crochet lace and buttons. It has an envelope back with two buttons to close and measures approximately 15" x 16". I really like the choice of materials as not only is it heard wearing, the colours are nuetral so it will go in many rooms. It can be used on a sofa, a chair or a bed, you choose!
Third in line, a cute and colourful Jewellery Roll:
This is an item I have been asked about many times and I have finally got around to designing one. This has a clear pocket on the left with a zip to keep bits and bobs you can see quickly, a middle section to hold your rings and on the left is a section to attach necklaces and little pockets to hold the pendants, so they stay untangled. It can then be rolled up and secured with the ribbon or folded in three - it's your choice.
And finally for today these Fancy Pegs:

And finally for today these Fancy Pegs:
Have you ever heard of Washi-Tape? Thats is what these pegs have been decorated with. It is such a versatile material that it can be used on almost anything. They are all different, they are wood pegs with metal springs and they are all adorned with a tiny bow. These pegs can of course be used for your laundry, but they are most suited for craft pojects and notice boards. You like?
So what do you think? Most of these items are in my Etsy Store and will be exhibited at my Craft Fairs. You can keep up to date with Fairs I will be attending on my Facebook Page, please check it out.
Leave me a comment if you wish, I would love to hear what you thing. Thanks for reading.
Julie.
