Just found a little bit of energy to post this pic.  This is the stand as we were setting it up not quite finished it at this point.  On the saturday we changed it a bit more (can't find the picky), and on the Sunday I added loads more stuff.

All in all, a brilliant first fair.  My sales were steady on the first & second day, I realised that my prices were a bit too high as everbody else had slashed there prices including The BS so I had to reduce mine. Then on Sunday it went mental, not because I was cheaper infact I wasn't (body butter at £10 was flying off the shelf, soaps on a promo special were selling like crazy) but because of the packaging was grabbing peoples attention - very christmassy.
I have been invited to do some upmarket events which I am thrilled about.
So although a hectic and stressfull 3 days it was a real eye opener and a really good networking event.

I love the look of the stand. It would certainly have attracted me. I hope it went well for you.

Michelle it was at Westpoint in Exeter.  

The biggest problem was that the first two days were only steady not a lot of people due to the weather, and the competition was quite tough due to some really good soapers & skincare stands - 9 of us in total which was quite a lot considering I was told when I booked it that the direct number would be only 3!  The cost of the stand was quite horrific and in due consideration although I did pretty well seeming it was my first I do not think I will need or want to do this one again.

A magazine also wants to write a thingy about me too  Shocked

I must try to find the other pickys as the stand did change quite a bit as that picky doesn't show all the gift sets.

What was really annoying wa some teenagers opening up sealed lip balms and creams!
