My Week – Orders, Fairs and Fudge! |

This week has been – as per usual – really, really busy.

I’ve been making lots of bits and pieces, adding lots of new listings to my etsy shop, trying to sort out a new way of displaying my things a fairs, to name a few…

Today I went to Kate & Lexy’s Vintage And Handmade Festive Fair at the Victory Hall in Woore, Cheshire. It had a really nice atmosphere, with a live singer filling the place with festive classics, plenty of lovely stalls, and tea and cookies for all.

One of the stalls was selling Fudge, in a variety of wonderful and unusual flavours, and I have to say it’s probably the best fudge I’ve ever had! I had some of the Chocolate Orange and the Raspberry Ripple.

I also devised some new packaging for my Etsy orders.
What do you think?

EDIT – I forgot to add the link back to the blog – http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/blog/ which you should check out for more crafty goodness!

A live singer at a fair sounds lovely! Your packaging looks lovely, and so does the teapot necklace. A warm welcome to Handmade Monday x

Hi, thanks so much!
I’ve added the link back to your blog now – forgot it the first time (oops)
I am new to this hahah 🙂

The packaging is clean and neat looking (I like that!). I’m trying to ignore the part about fudge, I don’t need to think about that! 🙂 But everything else looks really nice. I wish I got to go to some fairs, they sound like fun.

Fairs are great! Not always the highest profit but they’re really good for networking and putting yourself out there 🙂

The packaging looks great! 🙂 Mich

Love the packaging, it always impresses customers when you take care of their purchases.
The fudge sounds delish!

It went pretty well thanks – profit which is alway nice. And met/saw some really great other crafters 🙂

I think the packaging looks lovely 🙂

That fudge sounds delicious. Love the packaging for your orders think nothing better than to wrap the order in tissue paper and when you receive you know it is going to be special

I do love tissue paper – it makes everything look pretty 🙂

Your range of jewellery looks unusual – I particularly love the teapot. What a good idea to have a singer at a craft fair.

I do love fudge! The packaging is really pretty, it makes such a difference when you have something which as has been wrapped with thought and care.

I like your packaging, simple and clean always looks good to me. Your fair sounds lovely, a singer would make for a lovely atmosphere,

Jan :o)

Chocolate orange and raspberry fudge??? How scrumptious. Glad the event went well

The little teapot necklace is sweet and so is your new packaging. Taking that extr care on your presentation I think always pays and people do remember.. Hugs Mrs A.
