It’s T minus 8 days until we set off to London for the Renegade craft fair, the panic has started to set in a little… ‘what if I don’t take enough of X design?! I can’t just pop home for it!! gah!’, but I’m trying not to let it get to me.
We head down to London a week tomorrow, luckily we haven’t got the super early train like we usually get so we shouldn’t be wandering around like zombies. I have a PR meeting in the afternoon (how swish does that sound, eh? Yorkshire lass in the Big City having meetings with PR agencies) and then I forsee a visit to Wahaca in our future.
This week I’ve been designing a few new printed moleskines, but a supplier has had some difficulties so it looks like I’m not going to have as many as I wanted (annoying, but not the end of the world). I’ve also been prepping some screens for some Christmas cards, something I’ve never done before! I only have two designs at the moment but will hopefully add a couple more throughout October for the rest of this year’s fairs.
One thing that has been occupying my mind is the stall set-up. My regular displays just won’t cut it for something like Renegade! I’ve already invested in a new card rack, perfect for displaying greetings cards, moleskines and badge sets. I decided to make a string of bunting with ‘Finest Imaginary’ screen printed on, here’s a sneak peek…
Between my Dad and I we’ve devised the best method of setting this up on the day (it involves aluminium rods and clamps). Hoping it’ll go to plan, otherwise I can just string it along the front of the table?!
You’ll have noticed that there hasn’t been a recipe wednesday these past few weeks and that’s pretty much because I’ve been too busy to even consider concocting anything exciting – it’s been a noodles & vegetables kinda month. Don’t worry, though! I have a list of Autumnal & Christmas Gift recipes ready to start in the second week of October :)
