Wow, what a weekend! On Friday late afternoon I went to set up my little stand at the Hof Party. Then on Saturday I was at Stilblüten#8 all day. It actually went really smoothly with the taxi in the morning and setting up. When that finished at 20:00, I went to the Hof Party to see what the atmosphere was like there and repack everything. I got home at 23.00 or so, which is very reasonable. But there was a big street festival here too. It was so loud, it felt like the crowd was actually in the flat, even with all the windows closed. So I didn’t sleep too well and so was rather pooped to start the Sunday. But I got up early to catch up on what had been sold and repack a few things. I was at the stand all day then came home and died 
I didn’t even bring the stuff back. Instead I went back this morning when it was quieter. I thought that it would be easier that way, especially with the taxi.
I know that it sounds like I’m complaining but it was actually GREAT! I love the busy days and it was great to be at an event and seeing people. The feedback about my bags was great! It feels sooo great when people compliment you on your work. Plus I sold loads which is obviously even better than any flattery! The whole atmosphere was great, there was a DJ playing some funky music, plus somewhere to get a bite to eat or a drink. There were many more and new designers participating, so the variety was great. There were of course loads of visitors and many people that I have met from other fairs or through my bag business came by to say ‘Hi!’. I even met Morven, she sent in pictures of her handmade bag last week: What’s in your bag? By the way, please feel free to continue sending some pictures of ‘what’s in your bag’, so that we may continue that category, it would be fun.
Oh, and here a just a couple of pictures.
I actually forgot to go around and take pictures, the ones of my stand were taken as I had just set up. Many of the bags in the pictures have now founds new homes The last picture is the view from my stand, I know that it’s really bad that I don’t have more pictures but it was really busy.
Anyway, that’s it for today, I will tell you more about it in the days to come.
If you were there, why don’t you tell us what you thought of the event.
