Edinburgh jeweller

On Saturday I did my first We Make London  handmade market stall at  Spitalfields market , London. I have previously only been selling online via Etsy or to people I know but I thought it was a good chance to see how well I could do at a market this close to christmas. I decided to display my  sweetie shop jewellery  rather than make a lot of silver jewellery as I'd visited the market a few weeks earlier and found that cheaper items were more likely to sell. It was a cold day but Spitalfields is under cover so there's no worry about getting rained on! It was quite a busy day and We Make London ensure there is a diversity of different handmade products available to attract customers. I was really pleased with how it went and I was very happy with my takings at the end of the day.  It is an expensive market to have a stall at but I would do it again by sharing a stall with another crafter.

On Saturday I went to Old Spitalfields market for the We Make London handmade market . My friend from Grace and Firefly  had a stall there. I manned the stall for a bit while she got a coffee and I actually managed to sell a ring!  I also had a chance to look around the market and enjoyed seeing the mix of handmade items - from jewellery, purses, cosmetics, prints - there was definitely something for everyone. I bought some lovely things! I chose some glass earrings and a fused glass brooch from Grace and Firefly  and a cherry necklace from   Despina Ceramics .  I have applied to run my first stall there is November so I'll let you know if I am accepted!
