Meanwhile, I paid a visit to Winchester Guildhall yesterday. We were visiting Winchester anyway and popped in to get a taste of what to expect on 1st and 2nd December when the Winchester Handmade Christmas Fair will be on. Given that we are only just into November I was staggered at how busy Winchester was. It was teeming with shoppers and I guess it will just get more and more busy! Goodo!!!
Consequently I am working hard at trying to complete my hearts and stars. I have ventured into making key rings too. All heart-shaped and decoupaged with a variety of patterns and pictures from leftover wrapping paper and old children's books. They look amazing and I think they will sell well at £3 a pop or 2 for £5. Pricing is always a tricky task for me. I have put a lot of time and effort into my creations and am mindful of the fact that I should not UNDER value them, they are genuinely handmade in my home and not mass produced thousands of miles away. I have personally collected and washed the shells and driftwood that go into making my driftwood products and put them together myself - they are not thrown together by anonymous third parties! I have therefore priced them as honestly and fairly as I can. The fact that I enjoy making all these gorgeous things is neither here nor there!
