Very occasionally (very!! occasionally) I will run a business related stall for the day, but it is definitely not something that I could do on a more regular basis. I think my uncertainty is down to a combination of having to deal with some quite peculiar customers, the worry of possible stock thefts (sorry students!), lugging heavy stock around and whether, really, it will actually be worth my time! Essentially, I’ll be hoping to get a quick cash injection or it will enable me to move stock along ready for new stock arriving and, of course, for publicity for the store in general is always an added bonus! 
Following a recent event were I held a last minute stall, which was reasonably successful for me, I made the mistake of having a snoop around the fair to see what else was on offer. I say mistake but, really, I was quietly pleased! I had the best intention to be taking home a lighter load than I had trudged to the stall earlier that morning but this, I am afraid, did not turn out as planned! …A handful of teacup saucers later….to add to my ever increasing collection, I was buying some beautiful trinket dishes, one of them being a Carlton Ware piece which was an added bonus too! Then there was my amazing find of a large wicker picnic basket, bought for the outstanding amount of £1.00, which I intend to turn into a very gorgeous replica of a Cath Kidston style picnic set (currently in store for £145.00!!). Finally I came across a fabulous pair of vintage style shoes by ‘Shelly’ at a bargain price. So, in the end, I found myself arriving home with more than when I left, but feeling very happy at the day’s work anyway! x
