The energy in those two counties has to come from somewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-25303796762768857232013-12-08T09:03:41.612-08:002013-12-08T09:03:41.612-08:00Sounds like a good Christmas Market you managed th...Sounds like a good Christmas Market you managed there. We were a little disappointed by the one we went to (no names no pack drill - you know anyway). Good stalls with good stuff for sale but the venue didn't seem to have tried very hard to lay on useful facilities. Toilets were indicated by rough felt pen on A4 paper signs, there were no Christmas trees or decs except for three or four baubles hanging in the foyer, the Father Christmas 'grotto' was a tiny pathetic affair lost in one corner. Sign posting to the venue was absent once you got off the main road, and there was none in the hotel grounds and car parking was inadequate and congested. I don't think the venue was interested or trying in any way to create a good market experience for the stall holders or the shoppers. Disappointing.

I love the pendent, I seldom wear jewellery but this I have worn everyday since buying it. We are thinking about the craft fairs next year, Simon has got into wood work so that might be an idea, I used to make lovely rag dolls which used to sell very well, I might do that again, then of course there is Xmas puddings, made to a traditional recipe that we used to make for shops here a few years back. Lots of ideas! It would be great if the three of us could meet up for lunch sometime or even coffee.

It's one of my two favourites - I love that stained glass effect, and obviously, you do too. I love your designs. There's something not only beautiful but quite magical about stained glass. I agree with Bridget about your beautiful outdoor lantern with the Clarice Cliff motif - beautiful, vivid colours. Show us more of your craft projects. I think you should set up a stall at one of the markets next year, as well as the Christmas markets and fairs next year,. I think you'd do quite well. There's something special about buying something that is hand made and hand crafted.<br /><br />I agree with you about Manorhamilton - it's got such a warm and friendly and genuinely welcoming vibe and energy about it. I cannot thank Bridget and Reiner enough for encouraging me to book a table there this year - it was a very enjoyable day. And I even won one of the raffle prizes! :)<br /><br />I'm only new to your blog, and am looking forward to visiting often. Maybe when I next come to Boyle (to find that hidden little path/park area that Bridget found) you, me and Bridget can meet up and have lunch or a cuppa and enjoy the day.womanbreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067040898288898749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-48146449717101816792013-12-03T16:09:05.449-08:002013-12-03T16:09:05.449-08:00It was a most enjoyable day and everyone chatted a...It was a most enjoyable day and everyone chatted about their crafts, it was nice to put faces to names as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-59390200059909501932013-12-03T12:41:14.939-08:002013-12-03T12:41:14.939-08:00Did'nt see you taking that sneaky pic of moi! ...Did'nt see you taking that sneaky pic of moi!
