Thank you all so much for coming along to Saturday's Handmade - The Birmingham Arts & Crafts Market!

Admittedly it was a bit of a strange one; CF were putting on a monster music event in its entire complex, which meant we were surrounded by the sound of clanging metal rigs and were cheated out of the lovely view of the pool fountain. Subsequently visitors to the Digbeth area were confronted with a building site & big vans/trucks blocking Gibb Street... = not inviting to go shopping within the CF!

But don't be put off :) We had such an amazing line up of 14 artists this weekend, that we were able to Pop Up our Handmade Market in the CF's VAAD Gallery. And luck would have it that this space was also being used for a wedding reception later that afternoon! We found ourselves amongst the most amazingly dressed people and even managed to have a chat with the bride herself (and take her picture!!!).
Our craft fair also offered the wedding guests a welcome opportunity to browse early Christmas presents, whilst sipping champagne!!

All of our amazing stall holders made good sales this weekend, do have another look at their websites and/or visit our next Handmade Market :)

Denise & I really enjoyed everybody's company on the day and had some lovely conversations with you all! (Aswell as me spending all my money on all your amazing art work!!!)

We're busy planning & organising our next Handmade Markets on the 21st November, 12th & 19th December... which hopefully will take place on a different location closer to the city centre!

Watch this space!!!

Look forward to seeing you all again soon and a BIG THANK YOU for making last weekend a success!
