Sell Sell Sell

Over the Christmas holidays me, my mum and my brother's girlfriend (also called Ella) held a craft sale at my family home in Sheffield. We sold original stuff that we had all made. We had on sale: knitted stuff including hats, purses and little monsters, we had cards, notebooks, necklaces, rings, brooches, canvas bags, keyrings. Since summer we had been trying to get a stall at a Sheffield market through Sheffield City Council but they were basically rubbish at getting back to us so we held it in our house instead. All the money I made from the sale of my stuff I decided to put towards the funding of my group exhibition that's taking place at the end of March 2011. We also served food and mulled wine and we put a little donations tub on the table so that people could put loose change in if they wanted to. It was a lot of fun and we are trying again to get a stall at an original craft market in Sheffield some time in March.

Here are some pictures from the evening, plus the poster we used to advertise it to friends and neighbours.
