Graceful Deviant Jewellery in Lacock!

A busy weekend of handmade fairs!

With so many ideas buzzing around my head these last few weeks, my little sketch book has been relied on daily as I've been so busy preparing for a two-show weekender!
The first of which was back at Hungerford with The Blue Starfish Jewellery.

The Blue Starfish all set up at the handmade fair in Hungerford Town Hall.

This was the first fair of the year for my handmade glass beaded jewellery and I was hopeful that some half price goodies would help make the way for lots of new pieces I have in the pipeline. Alas, it was not a good day at all and so my bead buying will have to go on hold for another month or so!
Still, I was excited to be taking Graceful Deviant on the road for the very first time!

To say I was nervous was an understatement! I felt like it was the first time of ever selling at a fair - I was unsure on most things, venue, pricing, display, the jewellery itself!
Although it wasn't the busiest day in terms of footfall, those that stopped by were very complimentary, positive and intrigued to hear more about me and my jewellery journey! Plus a some sales here and there made it very worthwhile and lots of people helped themselves to business cards with lots more keen to discuss commissions.

These box frames were great for a professional jewellery display.

As with all selling weekends though - I'm now exhausted and very dehydrated! All that talking!! As much as I enjoy it I do feel as though an afternoon off to get outside in the good weather wouldn't go amiss so I'll plan to head out for a hike tomorrow :)
