The early bird .....

I really don't know where this year has gone - think I need more hours in the day and more days in the week to keep up.  I ran out of time to do a blog post in October so thought I would get November's post done early just to make sure!

Our next market day in Cramlington Masonic Hall in on Sunday 26 November between 10am and 4pm.  This is something new for us - we have never held a market day on a  Sunday before - so we hope that you will all be able to come along and support us, and that perhaps people who can't come along on a Saturday will take this opportunity to come along and see what we are all about.

Our December market is on Saturday 02 December so only six days between the two - and I am unlikely to have time to do a separate blog post so will cover both markets together here.

So what can you expect to find on 26 November?

Pauline and Pat from Hearts'n'Horseshoes will be back with a selection of their beautiful hand decorated sentimental hearts, plaques and hanging Christmas mdf ornaments.




Angela from AyVee Jewellery Design will be there with a selection of her handmade jewellery and also her crystals.  As well as being a qualified Reiki practitioner, Angela also makes a selection of crystal healing jewellery.






Judith from Handmade Miniature Doors came along as a guest crafter in September and became a full member of the group afterwards.  The gorgeous miniature doors are all made from recylced wood and can either be bought from stock on the day or you can request one to your own specifications.




As well as being in charge of our Kids' Crafting table, Kim from KSY Crafts will also have a table full of her own handcrafted and hand decorated goodies, including the most fantastic wooden advent calenders and her always popular handmade Christmas tree ornaments.




Wendy from Powertex Northumberland and Newcastle joined our group in September selling items she has made using this medium.   Wendy is a qualified Powetex tutor and will be demonstrating the use of this wonderful liquid at both our November and December market days. This is what she made in October.




In addition Wendy will also have her own table selling items made from or decorated using Powertex.




Ann from Hadrian Gems will be back with us after a short break.  As well as necklaces, bracelets and earrings Ann makes the ever popular Guardian Angel keyrings and lovely scarf rings.


Mr and Mrs Charlie  from Charlie Cards will both be in attendance too.  All cards are handmade, including the always popular pop up box cards.  Unlike most card shops at this time of the year, Charlie Cards provide a range of ordinary birthday cards as well as Christmas cards.  Cards can also be personalised to your own requirements by prior arrangement.





Mr Charlie is also Mr Tom of TC Crafts who will also be at both the November and December markets.  Mr Tom does all the sewing and Mrs Charlie makes all the co-ordinating cards for him (as well as the hand decorated boxes).




Stephen of Greylord's Bookbinding Services will be with us again.  Stephen handmakes notebooks in various sizes and with a variety of different coverings, in addition to providing a repair service.





For the last three years we have supported Guide Dogs and they will be back with us in both November and December with their tombola and a selection of Guide Dog merchandise, so do come along and support this very worthwhile cause.







We also have a new guest crafter with us in November.  Tom from Tyne Bank Studio will be coming along with a selection of his paintings.




As always we will be having a kids' crafting session.  We charge £1 per item per child for this and all proceeds go to Guide Dogs.

02 December 

We haven't finalised our plans for this market day yet but I can tell you that Charlie Cards, TC Crafts, Powertex Northumberland and Newcastle, Hearts'n'Horseshoes, AyVee Jewellery Design, Greylord's Bookbinding Services, Handmade Miniature Doors and Guide Dogs are all likely to be there. 

In addition Elizabeth from Craftee Thoughts will be back with us after a month off.





and we are also expecting Kim from Vimbo Crafts to be back with us after a short break.  Kim makes a variety of different crocheted items but is renowned for her novelty hats, and also makes beautiful little girl's tutus.





So put these two dates into your diary now folks - Sunday 26 November and Saturday 2 December.
 
 We won't be back until March 2018 and I will let you know the exact date once it has been confirmed.

Thank you for visiting our blog.
