Our third and final engagement of the year at this lovely venue, we have really enjoyed having stalls at Gunby this year and look forward to next years.
This was also the last outing for the coleman shelter this year the rest of our stalls will be inside. it held up reasonably well to the rather damp seasonal weather with just a few tiny leaks along the seams in one particularly heavy downpour. Luckily the ex scout leader in me had the foresight to pack an extra ground sheet to throw over the stock when this happened. so all was well. The stall had the usual L shaped set up and I was pleased with how it looked.
We snuck out a few Christmas items at this event just to see how they went, felt decorations in festive shapes including robin, gingerbread house, holly leaf and bauble shapes and knitted stockings in three colours of sparkly wool. The stocking drew quite alot of attention. They were displayed on our new silver glittered tree.
There were also some Christmas scented tealights in set of three for 99p these pair up with our popular tealight jars.
We also had some Christmas design lavender bags which were very popular along with our normal lavender bags. Other well selling items included the felt cat decorations with us selling half of the stock taken. I wonder if this is because many cat lovers visit Gunby hoping to catch a glimpse of the famous Committee and Craig.
A quick picture of a few extra cards being added to the stock, I really must find time to make more. The top four were done with a Stampin up set called pedal pusher which I picked up earlier in the year. The main tandem bicycle stamp as lots of little complimenting stamps to make each one different including a basket with variety of contents, flowers, hearts and bread and wine, a flag and adorable little birds.
The next stall will be at the Lincolnshire Food and Gift fair on the Lincolnshire show ground on the 26th and 27th of November this is a rather large event with over 150 traders. Really looking forward to it fingers crossed it goes well.
