Summer Fair No 1

When I was looking for a job last year, I made a quilt and bag as a present for a friend’s birthday.  She loved them so much she booked me a stall at the school fair and told me to pull my finger out and make some more bags – hence funky diva designs was born!

This weekend was the school fair again and I had another stall.  It was a fabulous day with lots of children and their families getting involved in crafts, dancing and music.  My stall was totally different from last year and reflected the transformations that my business has gone through in the last 12 months.  Here is how it looked:

It was a good thing I was able to get a gazebo – it was quite windy!

Amazing what you can use a coat stand for!

I tried to display it as beautifully as possible.  Hard work when the wind keeps moving everything around!

The little purses were adored by the girls who kept coming back again and again!

I loved having the gazebo.  Not only did it protect my bags from the passing shower and wind, but also gave my stall a ’shop’ feel that encouraged people to stay and chat as well as look at the bags.

It was a lovely day with plenty of sales to little girls (purses) and previous customers (bags)!  One husband even strolled in and informed me that under no circumstances am I allowed to sell his wife ANOTHER bag! Did make me giggle!

Next fair on Sunday 25th July will hopefully be as much fun!
