This is
a new festival/hand made celebration, that took place near where I live here in
sunny South Wales.
It
lasted the whole weekend, with different stall’s taking place each day. BRFM
were there broadcasting during the celebration today amongst many others.
I had a
stall today showcasing my bag’s and baby quilt/blankets. I also took along two
Tilda fabric patchwork cushions, ready stuffed.
What
amazes me is that many people are unwilling to pay the hand crafted price for
items. A lady picked up the larger of
the two cushion’s, which is 15” square, and asked how much. I said £10, which
is a reasonable price, she put it down!!! Not a word said!!
I think
that an afternoon working on fabric that is at the top end of the price
spectrum deserves a price befitting it’s history. That price is cheap compared to some of the
cushion’s you can buy in shops, that can be upward of £20!
Not one
item was sold, not a one, and to be honest, after paying £30 for the privilege of
having a day sat trying to placate two toddlers whom both wanted to be off out
and running riot, I was left very very dejected.
Today,
I will be starting on a new line in goodies, I am making Just’eds, what they are will come to fruition in a few
day’s and once they are in the finished state, then I’ll be putting them on my
Folksy shop page to be sold to the great unwashed, so to speak.
So for
now, I am walking about with a back that is breaking my spirit, but finding
fabric’s to make the next line in sellables….
Thank
you for visiting,
