I sold some crafty things!

Well, we have had a very busy few weeks getting ready for our two Mummade stalls at local craft fairs over Easter / May Day. The first, at a local fruit farm, was not that successful - we think due to a lack of advertising - none of the other stallholders had a good day either. But the second, at Malvern's May Day celebrations, was much more successful. I sold three cake stands made out of old plates, which I was really pleased about! I'll definitely be making some more of those. Just need to hit the charity shops for more plates - as the car boot sale on Monday was useless. Luckily we have a charity shop in Malvern entirely devoted to crockery. I also sold a felted soap - I forgot the sign I had made to explain what they are so I'm not really surprised more of them didn't sell.

Here are some photos of some of the things I made:
My favourite - this one sold but I have another set of these plates to make another (for me!)
This is the only cake stand I have left. Anything left unsold will be up for sale at our summer residency at a local craft shop/cafe.
I sold two cake stands like this one.

  1. I love the cake stands! How much do you sell them for? Where do you get the thingy for the middle?

  2. Ebay! I sold them for £15 each. I probably could've upped the price a little but I wanted to make sure they sold! You have to drill a hole in the middle of each plate - I managed to blunt a few drill bits in the process - if I make more I'll be investing in a diamond-tipped drill bit.
