    I'm off to a craft fair in a couple of weeks. Have had a table there for a few years now with my wood/photo products. One is for a note pad and pencil/pens and cup stand, the other for two packs of playing cards. This year I'm goind with Wildflowers, Marine life, Mushrooms and Bird calendars. Some hang on the wall, others are desk calendars.

    Well, how talented you are. Those are fantastic! You should do well with bird lovers. I am amazed at the pics you post here.

    They look fantastic. Be sure to put the playing cards in the holder, otherwise you will have everyone and them a few more ask "what is it for?"

    or a pad of paper and a few pens. I had someone roll a picture into a tube and insert it into a clear pen shaft... you could do the same with your bird pictures to match the bird on the holder.

    Kildale I know how good your photographs are and that you make bird feeders BUT I didn't realise just how talented you are!!

    I love the Note pad, pen and cup holder and would have one beside each telephone. I'm always taking down messages whilst having cups of tea so it would be ideal. I've never seen anything like it over here. The card holder I would use for putting the toppers I make (for cards) into to save knocking the piles over (which I do a lot.)

    I have a feeling you won't have much left on your stall when the craft fair ends.

    Do let us know how you get on and maybe (hint, hint) show us some more of the things you make.

    Oh my stars, how lovely are your craft projects! I'd buy out your stall all by myself.
    Eileen is right, your photos and bird feeders are marvelous, but we didn't realize that you had such talent in woodworking. Enjoy the craft fair, and all the kudos you'll be getting from shoppers.

    I'm aiming to sell the calendars but may take a few other things along. These are a few other items that I make.

    I love the card holder! I need to visit your web site again to check it for Christmas gifts. I know a couple of people that would really enjoy a calendar.

    I don't sell anything on my website. The only thing there is we have links to Amazon.

    Well, I am a little disappointed but I can understand the hassle of an on-line business. It's not something I would enjoy.

    I've been visiting lots of craft fairs this fall... and I tell you, if I saw your table with all those items and featuring those gorgeous photos... I'd certainly buy a few things!
    The craftsmanship looks fantastic... and who doesn't adore your photos??
    Let us know how fast your table sells out. :-D

    If I get a few minutes, I'll take a couple of photos of the calendars.

    I've just seen your calendars and would be ordering quite a few of them too if I could. I would love to live nearer you so that I could spend money at your stall.
