Guest Post: Oakham Festival 2012 on Stamford Artisans Guild : Dave & I will be at the Crafts show at Oakham Castle which is part of Oakham Festival 2012 on 23 June. We had a great day last year at this event which was held on Gaol Street and really looking forward to this one at one of my favourite venues of all - Oakham Castle. Sarah who is the chief organiser for this has been working really hard to get everything in place and I think she is doing a brilliant job! Hope to see you there! 'via Blog this'

In my world everything stops for Cake! So am I actually going to get any work done this week-end or will it be spent eating  Cakes and Crepes at Oakham Castle ? I will be at this Hand-made Craft Market at Oakham Castle on 28-29 April 'via Blog this'

Two fantastic days! And its not just about the sales. Yes, as my previous post says, it is my business! And I did make good sales at both events. But it is also about working in harmony with like minded people and getting nice comments from people who visit my stall. At both the  Stamford Handmade Christmas Market and the Late Night Shopping event at Oakham Castle I met some really  lovely people and got so many positive comments, even from folk who were not actually buying but had just come for a "wander around" at their local event. I don't expect everyone who comes to a fair to buy something but a little respect for the artisans displaying their creations goes a long long way. And while people like the ones mentioned in my previous post do their best to spoil things there are the good guys who always make it worthwhile! And give me and others like me the encouragement to carry on crafting and making.

Having a lovely day at Oakham. It's been really busy and some lovely people have visited us today!

Really looking forward to it! The fair, a day spent in the company of some of the nicest crafty people in the world, and freshly made French pancakes from Crepe Monsieur.

Really looking forward to the Oakham Craft Fair this Saturday! To seeing everyone's new creations and just meeting up with old friends. Most of us have done a lot of events together now and it will be good to catch up. And obviously looking forward to showing our beautiful creations to the people of Oakham and Rutland :-) Dave & I will be there (of Course!) http://www.roughrocks.co.uk/products-page/ http://www.jewellerybyshalini.co.uk/ Have a peek on the Stamford Artisans Guild Website to see who else will be there!
