Life after Cinderella

Last week was a crazy week, and I felt I was making bunting in my sleep.  Cinderella's shoe swap proved to be very popular with young people and I had a real buzz of people around my stall at the arts market on friday.  The shoe boxes proved not only to be a nice touch but also to be essential for taking home sticky shoes.  One boy nearly used all my coloured glue to make a giant spoldge over the front of a very nice leather shoe.  It was his 'halloween' style slipper I think.  He enjoyed the process which is the main thing.

Parties- lots of people liked the idea of decorating old shoes at parties and I had a few enquiries.  I had a lady from Nottingham who liked the idea of decorating new shoes to wear.  Her son and his mates would enjoy that if they could take the trainers home afterwards.  This doesn't fit in with my recycling ethics but I am sure shoes are much more useful than party bags with plastic toys.

The stall looked good, with my giant pumpkins and lights.  I was informed it looked a bit scruffy- but more approachable- a making space rather than a buying space.  That may be why I didn't sell much bunting.  Oh well, I am sure I will find the right space to do this.  For more details on bunting just email me at pinkfruitbat@2sally4th.co.uk

Time for some images to give you a sense of the day.
