Highs and Lows!

We've come to the end of the week again.

It's a very blustery day here, hence the slightly

blurry photo from my workroom window.

November will soon be a memory.

December is almost upon us and we will be able to 

open the first door of the Advent Calendar.

So exciting! I love Christmas.

My post today, mainly concerns, the highs and lows of

my first, Craft Stall experience.

To be honest, it was mainly lows, unfortunately.

With hindsight, I think my expectations were too high.

We are living life on the edge at the moment. I had pinned

all my hopes on earning some much needed cash

to help pay for Christmas.

At the end of the day, I only just covered my costs, with

a tiny, tiny profit, which was probably gobbled up,

by the cost of the petrol I used, getting there.

I had lots of questions ......

Were my 'goodies', just not good enough!

 but that couldn't be right as I got lots

               of great feedback, from the other stall holders.

The truth was, we just didn't get the footfall.

It was a bit dispiriting. 

All that hard work for very little return.

On the plus side ......... 

I met lots of lovely people with the same interests as me

 and I did cover the cost of my pitch.

One lovely stall holder, who's things I lusted after,

took nothing at all. Poor girl!

Anyway, that's enough of that......

I'm putting that experience behind me and

getting straight 'back on the horse'.

I've booked another stall for 7th Dec,

at our local Christmas Fair.

It's cheaper, no petrol expenses and

I already have the stock!!

Must go now, need to get to the post.

 More Christmas Pudding Hats will be 

winging their way onwards.

Have a great weekend everyone!
