I can't find a craft fair with availability in my area, any other suggestions?

[DunderMifflin]

I'm trying to find a craft fair during Nov/Dec so that I can sell some of my Christmassy bits (hand-stitched felt angels, stockings, etc) - I thought it would be fairly easy as there seem to be quite a few around here but they're all full!

Does anyone have a bright idea of how I could sell them?!

If anyone's interested, I could post pics to my profile...

A bit extreme but... last year I organised a Christmas Fair at my local community centre. Mainly as a fundraiser for the centre, but I had my first ever stall there and sold quite a few bits.

Otherwise - maybe see if you can have a stand at local toddler group?

Do you have a facebook page?

Have you registered with websites like wowthankyou.com?

Do you have your own website, or the skills/mates to set one up?

Would any independent shops or garden centres local to you be interested?

local school fair?

I'd love to see what you'e been doing.

Have you put your name down for any cancellations?

Ebay of course.

Ring your local private secondary schools. See if you can book a table at their Christmas Fairs. Some of my best sales have been at these type of fairs, and the table costs are usually quite reasonable.

where abouts are you?

folksy?

Hi - thanks for everyone's replies! I'm in Milton Keynes - I've thought about Folksy but not sure I could keep up with it. I'd just like to get rid of some stuff before my house is overun with hairclips and bits of be-ribboned loveliness!

I'm on my phone at the mo' but will see if I can upload some pics from my laptop...

Right - photos are on my profile!

Is that a hair clip with two little Russian dolls Dunder? It's really cute, I could totally see this stuff selling on Folksy/Etsy.

Wow chirpchirp - good eyesight - yes it is!

Thanks

I've uploaded an image of just the Russian dolls now

Have you got a facebook page? There are lots of sales of things going on just through facebook. As long as you've got a paypal account it's really easy. Plus you can soon create a big network of pages just by looking at the pages that other people like, or seeing who is posting on their wall. If you want to have a look at my page Cheeky Creations it might be a starting point for you.

Dunder they're lovely :)

there's a craft fair at dd1's upper school in Leighton Buzzard £20 for a table plus raffle donation. I've not been before (dd1 only just started) but there are 50 stall spaces, so sounds quite big IF you Pm me your email I can send you a form thing

Jennie, I've liked you from my business page

I marched with Send In The Troops a few times and am on 586 likers. Not all of those translate into sales, but I probably do £50 a month of bespoke stuff (I do a lot of SN stuff) which, bearing in mind it's all coming from a reputation on the SN boards here and facebook, is not too bad!
