Pip's Place

If you read my last post you won’t be surprised to learn that at 9.50am last Sunday, when my stall was all set up under it’s gazebo near Littlehampton seafront and we were eagerly waiting for the first customers to arrive, the wind began to blow!  My lovely display was instantly a mess.  Thankfully, our organiser, Jan, hastily found us a table inside the Putting Green Cafe and we started again!!  As the next hour passed, other stalls found themselves re-located inside, away from the elements.

Despite the weather, which  must have put many people off venturing out,  my first foray into the world of craft fairs could not have gone better with a profit being made at the end of the day and some lovely comments from customers and fellow crafters.  It has given me a real boost and encouragement for next Saturday at Bartie’s Boutique in St Paul’s Church, Chapel Road, Worthing.

Another real positive from last Sunday was the opportunity to sell my ‘creations’ at a new outlet in Littlehampton which Jan has just set up.  Crafters Corner is in Traders Indoor Market, The Sorting House, Clifton Road.  The market is full of lovely antiques and art and now lots of local crafts too.  I set up my shelf on Tuesday and will be taking a turn in the ‘shop’ in a couple of weeks.  I’m really pleased to find another place to sell and I can pop in at lunchtimes to add stock, rearrange etc. Now all we need is lots of customers!!
