A weekend of stalls

So as I told you my weekend kicked off with a stall at the London Rollergirls. I've never been before so it was all very exiting, I had a really good view from my stall though even with a program telling me how it all works I still got a little lost!

I have to say those ladies are pretty brave, I love the idea of the rollerskating but the actual derby is a bit brutal. The London Brawling team lost fairly heavily 49-228 to Rocky Mountain but they put up a hell of a fight.

I took my new hip flask with me with some lovely home made damson gin in it, it went down rather well! 

Saturday was much more sedate, I arrived at the Boogaloo to find this little kitty sat in the garden. 

You never know what markets in pubs are going to be like and august is always hit and miss and although the day was quite I got to meet some lovely people and was made very welcome by the organisers. 

  

After all that I had a chilled out day and Sunday and am now getting ready for my next stall with the Crafty Fox Pop Up Market at the Thames Festival, you can see details on the facebook page here, on the Thames festival site and the Crafty Fox Blog.

Busy weekend

Tonight I  am very exited to be doing a stall at the London Brawling Vs Rocky Mountain Rollergirls. It's totally different from the type of things I normally do so we will see how it goes. 

Tomorrow I am back at my more usual style of event at the Dandy Lion Market at The Boogaloo in Kentish Town

I'll get some pics and let you know how they both went. 

A weekend of bands and stalls.

 May Bank holiday weekend is traditionally the weekend the pub I work in puts on a huge music event, its been going for quite a few years now and this year the boss lady asked me to sort out some stalls for the garden.

Obviously the first person to get a stall was me! Luckily I had plenty of stock already made up. 

 We also had a selection of illustrators selling there prints, cards and other goodies. 

There was Vicky Scott, Sarah Gooch and Amy Walters.

 On the Sunday the lovely girls from Frocks That Rock came and set up a vintage stall, and I found an amazing suit, that I'll show you soon. 

 We were lucky the weather was so lovely and  there was a good atmosphere and although the muso's are all skint we all sold enough to make it worth it. As you can see by this pic taken of me by my friend it was a hard weekend! 

Just as a side note the boss lady of the Fox & Firkin loves supporting us makers and is thinking we could maybe take over the garden with stalls one Sunday over the summer so if any of you are interested in being involved let me know and I'll keep you posted.

my stall

I've not been around because I had a stall of the things I  make at a little music event, as ever I had left lots of things to the last minute so last week was a bit crazy. It went really well though and was nice and sunny so sitting around outside was a pleasure.
