If you're a lover of quality handmade products, this event is a must for you. Many selected designer makers will be selling their wares in The Nave.
If you have never visited Southwell (Nottinghamshire) before, I highly recommend it. The Minster itself is truly beautiful!
I shall be selling my BOOGE64 range of printed & embroidered textiles, textile jewellery and accessories for fashion & interiors. Here's just a small selection of the types of products I'll be selling:
Stylish, unique print clutch bags
Funky Lipstick Print Clutch Bag. The print design is my own and unique to BOOGE64.
This, along with many of the other items shown is available to purchase
in my Folksy shop.
This bird print clutch bag is made from my own print design which originated from one of my pastel & ink drawings. The shape takes its inspiration from a 1930's evening bag. I have just sold the last bag in this print. I am expecting a delivery of some similar fabric I have designed featuring this little Sandpiper in the next few weeks. Items made from the new fabric will be available at Southwell.
Charming textile flower brooches
made from vintage headscarves
Quirky Headpieces
And lots, lots more .............
Craft Fairs are such fun, you get to meet other designer makers and share experiences with them. They are valuable events where you can discuss your work directly with your customers and react to their feedback.
The most recent fair I took part in was at The Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, earlier this month. The event was arranged by Tempo Promotes. Below is a photograph of my stall at the fair.
If you'd like to know more about my work, visit my BOOGE64 Facebook Page or keep up to date with all my news on Twitter @BOOGE64. My website is currently under construction www.booge64.com
Well, I really must get on with making some stock now. Hopefully see you on 2nd June in Southwell, Nottinghamshire. There will be lots of creative talent on show. I'm pleased to say that one of my fellow stallholders will be Jane Lightfoot. If you've not come across her work before, take a look at her website, she produces some wonderful applique pieces.
Bye from BOOGE64 for now ......
