Craft Love Festival

I have some sad news and some happy news for you all!

Sad news first:  A Craft Market won't be happening again until at least October or November this year.  After our sucessful market on the 1st of December, 2012, I have been deep in thought about exactly when I'll 'do' our next market.  Time has gone by and I've finally made a decision.  October or November - I'll see what things are looking like around August and I'll let you all know what will be happening again.

Happy news:  I am currently a part of the team organising a new craft festival, aptly named Craft Love Festival.  This one will be held in the Mairehau High School Hall on the 12th April in the evening.

You can find all the information about it here www.craftlovefestival.com

We'll update the website as we go along.

Thank you all for being a part, however big or small, of A Craft Market last year.  It was so much fun!

A Craft Market

Christmas shopping, treats for yourself, gifts for your loved ones.

All found right here in Beckenham, Christchurch.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Looking ahead: 1st December, 2012

Wow!  The interest for stallholders has been amazing!  I can't believe ALL the spaces have filled up already!

To the right > you'll see a list of stallholders including a link to their website, to Facebook or to their Felt shop.

What a perfect time for a unique craft market, just before Christmas so you can find that one thing that's handmade, made in NZ, supporting local business and the perfect gift for your loved ones.

I hope you're all keeping warm, it's cold outside in Christchurch today!  Take care and see you soon!

Only four weeks to go....

A Craft Market on December 1st

We are looking forward to our next market on December 1st, 10am-1pm, 52 Martin Avenue, Beckenham.  Let's hope for good weather (this time around)!

Our very first market was sadly cancelled due to poor weather - it was raining cats and dogs.  A BIG thank you to everyone who was involved including ALL the stall holders, some of whom bravely turned up, some of them, even braver, set up only to pack-down again.  The blue sky appeared in the morning, only to flee at the sight of those black rain clouds that hovered over the hills and slowly but surely headed our way.

Puddles, rain and brave faces.

Never mind, we'll be back!  I was totally blown away by the support I had.  Each and every person that I spoke to was so happy to be a part of New Beginnings and were stoked to see there was something happening in the Beckenham community.  I was so humbled and left there feeling full.

I'm [mostly] sure the weather will be on our side next time - I can't imagine what an awesome day we'll have.  I'm so excited and am really looking forward to getting the ball rolling.

I look forward to seeing you there

Holly


PS There are a few stall spaces left so be in quick!

Two weeks to go!

I'm busy-busy getting the finishing touches done.  I managed to get a break just now because my drill battery ran flat (mid-hinge on our sandwich-board) so while it re-charges I thought I'd say, "Hello!"
