It would have been great to have had some more visitors today, but the British weather was working against us. However there were a few brave people stopping by to have a chat with the artists and buying some goodies.
Nevertheless we had a good day sharing ideas and planning how to turn the Digbeth High Street into a proper creative shopping street, connecting the Bull ring shoppers to the Custard Factory.
Sarah of Magpie Jewellery was with us again today and really splashed out on her display this week. She brought in lovely feathers, crystals and flowers to complement her colour beaded jewellery designs.
Emma Blundell and Emma Thompson had a surprising display with actual potted sunflowers to buy! The plants added a frivolous touch to the room, with their tall organic silhouettes between the charm necklaces and gingerbread men cards.
Helen Woodward’s table was filled with gorgeous handmade jewellery using vintage beads, semi precious gems, crystals and freshwater pearls. She made you feel very at ease trying all the various designs on, which is an experience in itself! You can find her at the Moseley Craft Fair on 27th June. Visit her site at www.helenwoodward.co.uk
Gosia from OhGosh! set up her space outside to attract visitors with her colourful range of leather bags, purses, wallets and bus pass holders. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, she also works on commissions so you could put in a custom order for your own bag design! Have a look at her etsy shop on www.ohgosh.etsy.com
Lisa from Handmade by Tigerlily joined us again today as well with a new range of handmade gift boxes, build-your-own cards and felt tea-cosies. This lady has been working her socks off this week to present us with her latest craft ideas! See her items on www.tigerlilyol.etsy.com and read her creative musings at www.craftbugs.blogspot.com
Becky from Becky is my name set up a space for herself today, which again burst of colour!
Since taking part last week, she has made several sales through her etsy shop and will be stocking her work in The Framers next door to us as well. This has been a good craft week so far! Please visit www.beckyismyname.etsy.com
Creative Open Workshops also had a table display, due to a last minute cancellation. We had some information to take away on children’s and adults workshops and people could express an interest for summer workshops. We also offered our Kitsch Kitchen aprons, oilcloth and adhesive plastic for sale and a range of bags by Said Label. View www.kitschkitchen.nl and www.saidlabel.com for more information.
Laura from Glue+Glitter stopped by today as well to drop off a custom order and Liz from Phyllis B came in to see how we were doing.
We all agreed that our cupcakes were pretty good this weekend and visitors seemed to be highly interested in them too… so we’ve decided to have a little cupcake table space on the 27th June too!
There are still at least 2 tables up for grabs for this coming weekend! Do get in touch if you’d like to take part!
