This week I have been trying to ensure that I have a good supply of stock for my stall.

I have been making lots of bits and bobs that I hope the punters will like (and buy), like the pendants in their little wooden boxes above.

The first of my two upcoming stalls is next Saturday at Sherwood Christmas Craft and Food Fair.

It’s an annual local event that I’ve been going to for years, but only sold at for the first time last year.

It’s very busy.

Lots of friends and acquaintances cram into a tiny little community centre called The Place to buy wares from the crème de la crème of Nottingham’s creative folk.

I feel honoured to be amongst such lovely and talented people as Carly Dodsley, Rachel Ainley, Alys Power, Corinna Rothwell, Eloise Renouf, Ali Bee and a host of others.

Last year my stall was next to the lovely Katrin Moye, and her beautiful ceramics. Which made me very nervous every time I had to inch my way out from behind my stall, in case my inherent clumsiness caused a ceramics-shattering disaster!

Here are some of the sort of wares that will be on offer…

Of course, there’ll be loads more on offer than that. And food too.

I am a bit nervous about it, as it’s always such a busy and big (yet small) event.

But I have a whole week yet in which to panic. ♥
