***** SOME CRAFT GUERRILLA NEWS******
The November date for the Craft Guerrilla Chrimbo Designer Market is now set. Saturday the 22nd of November from 1pm to 6pm in Wanstead, East London.We need all you lovely designer makers, vintage clothing sellers and vintage record sellers. If you know any other crafty creatures then please pass on this email to them. If they are selling with us for the first time then I need a brief description and a few jpegs of their work. To apply for a stall please e mail me. Bookings open next Monday the 3rd of November.
So a little bit about the venue...
It's at the Wanstead United Reform Church main hall. It has it's own entrance, wooden floors and...heating!
Wanstead is a very nice part of town and the venue is located off the High Street between two tube stations so getting there should be easy!
It's a very chi chi part of town with quite an affluent population so here's hoping we can all sell a few more bits for Christmas and shower all those lovely shoppers with gorgeous hand made loveliness! I'll e mail all details,stall prices,relevant details etc. very soon and sorry that it's taken a while but the D.I.Y. craft nights have grown into a fun and fab event but taken a bit of time and planning!

Robson & Mason Haberdashery
I have been emailed by a company Robson & Mason who sell a great range of haberdashery that they would like me to spread the word about.
"We have a Haberdashery and we support the Independent Artist, Students and Designer / maker by keeping our prices as low as possible. We are between 30-60% cheaper than almost everywhere else in the UK, and we ship Next Day Recorded for £3.95."
Sound good to me!
