Title: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: corrie on May 07, 2009, 07:44:27 PM I'm off to a 2 day fair this weekend at the Oyster Bar on Loch Fyne. It's an upmarket food fair but has a craft element.
I've been setting up my table in my living room for the past week, I'm not quite there yet and waiting on some perspex risers to put my bottles on but you'll get the idea of how it will look. Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: EJ on May 07, 2009, 07:52:40 PM Very posh Corrie!
What's in the tins? Shaving soap? Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: sam1602 on May 07, 2009, 08:22:58 PM Looks lovelly Corrie. But do you think you'll have enough or should you maybe make some more!!!
Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: corrie on May 07, 2009, 08:33:50 PM The tins are shea & mango butters.
Oh Wino! Don't you start, I've got plenty more ;) Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: sam1602 on May 07, 2009, 08:37:36 PM Fingers crossed that the posh lot buy loads after stuffing their faces on lovely seafood..
I can personally recommend the seafood platter - thats if you get 10 minutes.. Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: kevie192 on May 07, 2009, 08:42:41 PM It looks beautiful! I really love all of your packaging.

Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: Helen on May 09, 2009, 06:39:41 PM C'mon C.... WE NEED TO KNOW!!! :popcorn:
Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: EJ on May 09, 2009, 06:52:42 PM It's a 2 day fair - she may be staying over.
Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: corrie on May 09, 2009, 06:55:19 PM Day one, awful weather :( The field was flooded, mud everywhere, even snow on the tops of the hills (in May!?:egad:)
However, it turned out to be a pretty good day, a very exciting lead for a new venture and another inviting me to their "quality" fair and a pretty decent amount of customers & money to boot ;D Those in the know tell me Sunday is way better is terms of footfall and it's supposed to be kinder weather-wise. I sold all my shea tins bar 2, lots of saltire soap, no bottled goodies though ??? Gotta make some more butter tonight :mwaha: Pics coming soon......... (Cheers for the good vibes ladies) Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: EJ on May 09, 2009, 06:58:26 PM Good going Corrie!!
Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: Helen on May 09, 2009, 06:59:53 PM Fantastic C, what great news!!! A new lead and an invite, well... it was always waiting to happen. Ooh... I hope you do twice as well tomorrow - I will keep my fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you ;D
Excellent C!!! :hap3: Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: corrie on May 09, 2009, 07:05:36 PM Here we go...
I'll try to take some pics tomorrow to show how remote this place is, it's stunning, even with all the dreich! Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: EJ on May 09, 2009, 07:19:00 PM Stall looks good in situ Corrie and the other attractions look interesting.
Looking forwards to seeing more pics. Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: Beastargazer on May 09, 2009, 08:00:26 PM I'm glad it went well Corrie, I feel all excited for you. Keep us posted. Your stall looks real impressive, I live in hope of turning out a set-up like yours one day. T x
Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: Helen on May 09, 2009, 08:15:22 PM That is a really fantastic stall and it would fit in really well with a really poshe fair because your stuff looks so classy and stylish.
Now, what are those totum thingies? They are brilliant. What are they for? Were they for sale? Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: corrie on May 10, 2009, 09:35:10 PM Those totems were for sale H, I really wanted one but resisted (I'll get one next time ;))
Day 2, much better weather & lots of Sunday drivers out for the day. A better day for sales for me, though some of the other crafters had a tough time barely covering their stall fees. Sold lots of soap today, I'm out of Saltire soaps, butters did surprisingly well again, some bath melts, bath salts a few gift sets etc. From those who stopped by I got good vibes on how my products look, they liked the odd named soaps, Whisky Galore, Highland Fling, 5 carrot gold.... I'm absolutely shattered now, it's hard standing behind a table for 2 days, smiling at everyone :mwaha: A couple of outside shots taken today. Bath & bed methinks... Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: Helen on May 10, 2009, 09:40:48 PM Good for you C. I am so pleased you had an even better day than yesterday :)
Those views are just wonderful aren't they? :buttrf: Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: EJ on May 10, 2009, 10:13:39 PM Well done Corrie - you deserve a rest!
Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: Michelle on May 10, 2009, 11:00:44 PM Im so glad it went well Corrie, you deserved it. :buttrf:
Im surprise you resisted thos Totems they are works of art, reward for sales next time? Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: Suegardner on May 11, 2009, 07:12:45 AM you must be shattered, well done on the sales :buttrf:
Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: Suegardner on May 11, 2009, 08:02:54 AM The weatherman this morning seems to have a totem behind him, although it is a painted one, but he had a scottish accent so I thought he must have been reporting from the fayre ;D
Title: Re: Loch Fyne Food Fair Post by: danielle on May 11, 2009, 09:20:44 PM I'm behind the 8 ball again ::), just read through everything (sigh) & glad to hear efforts were well rewarded. Beautiful shots of the landscape too.
