I participated in my very first craft fair on Saturday! It was held at the Horticultural Halls in Victoria, London, and embassies from all the Commonwealth countries came together to sell items from their country. My contingent, the Singapore team, sold food and jewellery.
AND ... It was a complete BLAST! It went so unbelievably well and it far exceeded my most humble of expectations! As I had never done a fair before, I was filled with a mixture of excitement and anxiety in the morning (almost falling ill and praying so hard that I wouldn't) ... I kept telling myself that even if I didn't manage to sell my things, I would've gained so much experience and exposure for my Etsy store and that, in itself, is priceless. So imagine how stunned I was when I sold more than half my wares!!! I was completely blown away by the success of the fair and my dear readers, my knees are still trembling and I'm still reeling from all the excitement... :)
Here are some pics from yesterday - enjoy! I know I did! ;)

I made my own tags & they received so many compliments, much to my delight!

The kiddies were being taken of by my dear hubby the whole day whilst I worked at my stall...

THEN, when I got back, I was in for another treat as my
Autumn necklace was right smack on the front page of Etsy! I had convos upon convos and emails congratulating me on the feature. It was featured on
MaryMarsh's treasury and this was chosen to grace Etsy's front page!
It brought so much traffic to my site - utterly amazing. T'was a good day for me indeed. :)
