Warkton Village Craft Market

Last saturday was finally the day for the first warkton village craft market of the year....
I was SO excited!
I havent mentioned it very much to my online customers, but people who know me, 
don't stop hearing about it! lol!

Its a handmade only craft market that myself and my fellow crafter friend Deanne started,
after trekking to so many craft fairs, only to be setting up next to someone who buys their stuff in, and is selling for a lot cheaper than you could make things for!

We aim to generate a good buzz about handmade,
and a generally lovely atmosphere for stall holders to have an outlet, 
and for customers to be able to talk to the artists and craftspeople... 

we were very pleased with how it went on Saturday :)






It was a gorgeous bright sunny day, much nicer than the last one we did in December last year!
and a LOT busier!  Lets just say, we learned a LOT last year!!

i loved getting all of my buttony goodies set up and looking nice & bright
with all of my new white baskets and my new earring board
(looking a bit like a deckchair!)
i had some great comments from lovely happy customers :)



thank you to everyone who came along on saturday,
the next one is 19th march, 

we hope to see you there! 
lots of love & buttons,

website update!

button it heights have been very quiet of late...
but dont think that means i've been slacking!

i have been squirrelling away lots of new makes ready to upload to my new website!
which i'm taking my time in designing, these things can't be rushed
(i'd love to, but the computer won't let me!!)


 
my IT department (my lovely fiance Kev!)
found out about a new FREE (!) shopping cart system called Tomato Cart
which is AMAZING! and it's my favourite word - free!

but...as all things web, it is taking time to upload my new makes,
and i want to make sure it's fully stocked ready for my fans to peruse...

 
it should hopefully be up and running by the end of the month...
(fingers crossed!)

oh and p.s. keep a look out for a discount code in my blog coming soon!

in the meantime, i am still selling through my not on the high street page...
and today is the last day to get your valentines cards & pressies in time!

i am donating 10% of all my pre-Valentines orders, to the British Heart Foundation
to help fund their new amazing ground-breaking healing hearts research

much love shell xxx
