Not sure what the weather's been doing up there. Glasgow's looking pretty - there could be snow on the ground.

Hope Corrie's doing well - and that the travelling hasn't been too bad.

(and I have the right Saturday this time!)

I hope she had a really good day, and that people weren't put off by the awful weather.

Quite right Ruth, I have a tale, but its one of woe  Sad
A day before this fair the organisers were told that it would be moved to a bigger function suite, great they thought but it was up 3 flights of stairs!  The original hall was inside the front door but as there was carol concerts on all day I guess they thought that the fetish element would clash with cute kids singing for their Nans.
The hall was full, some fantastic stalls, nowt you wouldn't want yer mum to see (well, maybe one or 2) but no bugger could find us! I broke even on the cost of the stall petrol and parking, not cheap in Glasgae central!
I met some very useful and nice people, as you do, and have some very good leads to work on in the new year. I was sandwiched between a lady selling the most wonderful and humorous pottery animals and a fantastic SS jeweller, who also runs her own successful fairs  Grin
As for the "other" element, well it was good eye candy, I'm seriously thinking I need to get a corset  Wink 22" waist and a couple of pounds of jelly up top, it did look rather good! There was a guy selling gimp masks, I said to John before he set up "I bet he wears a gimp mask" I was so right! lol
Anyway here's the goods........
Oh EJ, I sold a wee pot and the big 'un  Smiley

What a bummer BUT your stall looks great. A much, much more eye catching display. Had to think twice what a SS jeweller was given some of the other stuff on sale --LOL !

At least you didn't lose out Corrie! Stall looks good.

If you've made goodly contacts it was worth going, and you've seen something different from your average craft fair!

I suppose it was a different afternoon  Undecided
The organiser has asked everyone to email her a letter to the effect that they were not happy with the room and the no. of people who found it.
And I forgot to say, at 11.55. ie 5 min to kick off, there was the one and only empty table dirrectly opposite me. Who do you think rushed in at the last min? Same as last time, my bought in crappy soap pals  Angry Still, they packed up early.

What a great looking stall!!  Well done but I bet it was hard work lugging it up those stairs.  And good that you broke even (but surprising you didn't make more  Undecided).

Ok, what is a SS jeweller and what's a gimp mask?   Clueless  :mwaha:
