Handm@de final preparations

I’m having a sneaky afternoon off work to sort out the final details for Handm@de tomorrow… I just popped to town to pick up some change for the stall and fabric to cover my display boxes with, I think everything is nearly done! Just need to iron my tablecloth… Twitter and the forums are raging with people panicking and stressing though! For future reference, here’s my must-take craft fair list:

  • Stock (obviously)
  • Business cards (moo!)
  • Postcards (freebies for nice customers)
  • Pens/notepad
  • Paper bags
  • Bag for rubbish
  • Scissors
  • Change (£30 in £1 coins and £30 in £5 notes)
  • Tissue paper for giftwrapping
  • Bunting for stall decoration (new and improved – photos to come!)
  • Tablecloth
  • Fabric to cover boxes
  • Card racks & boxes for display
  • Safety pins
  • Cellotape/parcel tape
  • Information signs
  • Wedding invite info packs
  • Water, snacks, lunch
  • Kitchen roll
  • Wet wipes
  • Chewing gum
  • Camera

Phew! It’s a good job I have a box-carrying helper!

I bought some paper bags from ebay (something like 100 for £1.50) and they were looking a bit boring so I gocco’d them after doing some cards – here they are! I think they look quite pretty now and will be perfect for popping purchases in, along with a couple of business cards of course!

Here’s some pics of my new cards that will be debuting tomorrow, I hope people will like them!
