Getting Ready

Having just spent the last few days helping my sister move house I am now back in the saddle and preparing all the fliers and marketing materials for the Arts Market on Friday.  I am always so last minute and it makes life even busier!

I now have several bags of shoes and lots of shoe boxes- with thanks to Sheila from the shoe stall on the market last week- make sure you check out the banners in The Garden of Light this weekend as part of the Chesterfield Festival activities in Queens Park.  It should be an exciting weekend of activities- The Cinderella Shoe swap just being one of them.

I am also busy making bunting for 2SALLY4TH Bunting- a new venture for the two Sally's.  Let's hope we can make enough bunting to seel before Thursday and have lots of fun bunting related activities for others to join in with...

I hope that lots of you are able to pop along and see what's happening next on Friday- it will be great to see you and wonderful to have lots of people to keep me busy and keep my mind off the cold!

The Cinderella Shoe Swap

Today I have been on the scrounge for old shoes.  They are to be transformed into fabulous shoes at my cinderella shoe swap.  The event is to take place in two weeks at the Chesterfield Arts Market.  I need as many pairs of shoes and shoe boxes as I can get so I have been hassling charity shops for oddments and shoe boxes from shops.  Johnathon James in Alfreton were very helpful and have promised me more shoe boxes next week- hurrah!  I also have a few leads on shoes and plan to get myself a wanted add on freecycle next.  I have also asked all my mates for some donations and with any luck in two weeks time there will be loads to go round.

I have been out on the town looking for all kind of decorative stuff that will turn the old worn out soles into gleaming new slippers.  I have a range of glittery glue and sequins and stuff and have just spent the last hour making an old boot look like new.  I am really pleased with the result-

I hope that lots of people will come and have a go at making their own creations on the 29th of October.  There will be pumpkins and bunting and lots of other funky stuff to try.
