Fair report

[wiseheart]

I report with relief that - as far as I am concerned - the fair was a great success. I've raised more money for this year's charity than ever before, and almost everything I made was sold.

This was my table:



Everything but the two XL Christmas Elves, two of the little dolls, one felt heart and four Christmas cards was sold. The two XL Elves then went to Librarian E as Christmas gifts for her two granddaughters, 4 and 2 years old, respectively, and I'll eventually give away the rest, too. Given how big the competition was - the Monday afternoon sewing circle has produced lots of lovely textile stuff, too - I'm very proud of my results.

I hope more photos will eventually be uploaded to the school's homepage, so that I can show you more.

I'm not surprised your work sold so well, the display looks great. Everything is so colorful and beautifully made! If I were there, I'd grab the last four Christmas cards :) Are you going to relax a few days now, or are you into your next project?

Well done! There's such a sense of satisfaction seeing things you've made sell and raising money.

I'm going to finish the little Santa's socks - as many of them as I can make comfortably. I won't put pressure onto myself. We're planning to have a small tree, like last year, and I want to decorate them with felts again. I have quite a few put away, will add a few of the socks and it will look great.

Other than that, I'm only planning to bake two more kinds of cookies and make the Christmas dinner.

That is very true.

You have been a very busy little bee. That's a lovely selection and it's obvious everyone else thought so too.

[meathiel]

Yay ... that's great you sold almost everything. :-)

I had every confidence your items would sell! So wonderful to hear this news. Congratulations on your success!
Your table display is bursting with color, and the variety of items is amazing. It really has been a pleasure watching your crafts come to life.

Thanks. :) I'm quite inordinately proud of myself.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It is, isn't it?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

So am I, TBH. I was slightly nervous, given the competition in the textile department. But my teddies conquered the spectators.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Hehe.

I'm very happy with the outcome, yes. You can never tell in advance what will be a runner this time.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It was a very successful fair indeed.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Crafting is such a pleasure, but finding people who enjoy the results is even more delightful.

Congratulations on another successful charity fair! Your display was lovely. I am not surprised that your crafted items were so popular, after all we LJ friends get to preview your work each year and know how much love and time you put into each and every item. Can't say I have a favourite, but those cute bears really stand out :o)

The bears were very popular indeed. :)
