I recently had a stall at a local craft fair, a local primary school called Trannack. it was their first ever craft fair and it was very successful. I shared my stall with my sister Melody Ryder, a very talented textile designer. Between us we had a very colourful, varied stall consisting of my buttons, calendars and cards and her bunting and felt lamps.

This was the first craft fair I have actually done on my own, and I feel it went very well, and was an enjoyable experience. I would love to make our stall look even prettier next time with plenty more stock and a pretty tablecloth....but these are details and I can work on these.
My other sister Emslie Mills, is a freelance make up artist and beauty therapist and she holds a stall at craft fairs selling a local, organic skincare product.

One of my closest friends and my sisters step sister in law(!) were the beautiful brides, and I was lucky enough to be involved on their special day, in a special way. I was a bridesmaid to one, and a cup cake designer to the other, also a Wedding Map designer to both. Here are a few of my favourite snap shots of the two days. I will be posting again about the Cupcakes, so watch this space! :)
