This friendly craft fair is a great way to find out who is new on the Wellington craft scene, and of course there are always lots of your favourite sellers there too

So, can you guess where I’ll be from 9.30 until 1.30 tomorrow?

Here’s a hint… this is my stall from the autumn knack.

A quick snap taken during a lull. Proof that my favourite sales assistant is a total hunk!

There’s a new venue this time, so make sure you check the details and head to South Wellington Intermediate tomorrow to indulge in some crafy shopping therapy.

Make sure you check the details so you turn up to the right place!

See you tomorrow! <3 <3

So, I’ve decided that this week I should update you with some of the things I’ve been doing.

• Applying for Craft Fairs. I’ve got a few coming up in the next few weeks.

• Craft2.0, 12 June 2010 at the Dowse in Lower Hutt. You can check out my crafter’s profile here. Make sure you also read all about all the other talented people who will be selling that day too. If you haven’t been to Craft2.0 yet, it is well worth the trip to Lower Hutt (it’s closer than you think:  it takes less than 15 minutes from the Wellington CBD by car, just a little longer on the bus, or the Dowse is approximately a 20 minute stroll from Waterloo Station). Extra special for the June Craft2.0 is that the installation of It’s a Tree! will be complete, and you can come along and wonder at the marvellous work that has been put together by Tash from Knitsch.

• Mid-Winter Knack, Saturday 26 June in the Wellington South Intermediate School Hall.  This is a great market to head along to to see who’s new in the Wellington Craft Scene.  It’s very family-friendly, there is always a good ol’ cake stall and yummy hot food as well.

• A Craft Affair, Sunday 11 July at Our City O-Tautahi in Christchurch (Yes, I’m heading South for this one!).  This is a new market in Christchurch, taking over the mantle of the Christchurch Craft2.0.  Organised and curated by Lucy from Felt, it is sure to be a fantastic fair, and I am very excited to be included in the line up.

• Working on new things – some new bags, purses, and most recently, bangles.

• Looking at pretty stuff on Felt! (of course I couldn’t resist)

Once again Justine and her team have been working hard behind the scenes to put together a great fair, and tomorrow is the big day. According to metservice, it should be a stunning day tomorrow in Wellington, all the better to browse the outside stalls. Of course, you don’t want to spend too long out in those rays, so make sure you pop inside too – because that’s where I’ll be!

The autumn knack last year was my first ever market experience. I’ve been at every knack market since, and I’m really happy that I’ll be there again tomorrow. I hope to see lots of you there, and if you’ve got a stall there too, I hope you have a wonderful day!

With two great Craft Markets coming up in Wellington this week, it’ll be easily done!

There’s going to be a special pre-Christmas Craft2.0 at the Dowse on the evening of Thursday, 3 December 2009.  Come along and check out what all the best, lovely crafty people in Wellington have been up to.

Then next Saturday, 5 December will be the kristmas knack market.  The knack markets are a great fundraiser held at and supporting Berhampore school.  If you haven’t gone along to the knack yet, you should.  You’ll discover a wonderful community feel, many lovely crafters, great coffee, and the best darn paua fritters you’ve ever had!
