Spring Craft & Gift Fair

Hello everyone, hope you are well. Don't forget our Spring Craft & Gift Fair is on tomorrow, Sunday 30th, in the beautiful Cavan Crystal Hotel. We will be there with our handmade greeting cards and jewellery plus a selection of our paper crafting and jewellery making supplies. Of course it wouldn't be a fair with just Downland Crafts so joining us will be some of your favourite regulars as well as some new faces taking a table with us for the first time.

 

There will be 31 exhibitors offering handmade items and giftware including wood crafts (bowls, clocks, chopping boards, plaques, toys), greeting cards, artwork, jewellery, glassware (handpainted glasses, tiffany glass), mosaic, knitting & crochet (toys & clothes), soaps, candles, furniture, leathercraft, skincare, pottery, craft supplies (paper crafts, jewellery making & knitting), blankets, incense, fabric crafts (toys, tablecloths & runners, aprons, bags, shawls), jam, eyewear, incense sticks & accessories and face painting. Plenty of choice for everyone I'm sure you'll agree. A full list of exhibitors and their products can be found on our website by clicking here.

 

This fair is the perfect place to pick up a last minute gift for your Mum or why not bring her along for a great day out and perhaps treat her to something special, she could even choose her own present.

 

There will also be lots of items suitable for first communion and confirmation, plus many exhibitors will happily take commissions, simply tell them what you are looking for and they will do their best to assist you.

 

Admittance is FREE so no nasty shocks at the door if you want to bring the whole family or come as a group with your friends.

 

The Cavan Crystal are also offering a fantastic four course lunch on the day including a glass of wine for only €25 per adult in their award winning restaurant Opus One, so you can enjoy a meal while you are there.

 

We do hope you will join us and if you have any questions don't hesitate to give us a call on 087 189 6229.

 

See you there!

 

What's new

We are well into 2014 now and I am wondering if anyone has managed to keep their new years resolutions? As you can see my own resolution to blog at least once a month has been an epic fail. Oh well apart from the fact that I could possibly be the worst blogger in history a lot has been happening at Downland Crafts and it's been a very exciting time for myself and Tom.

Anyone who knows me will probably know that I am a huge fan of Kanban and was very sad to see them go and ecstatic to hear they were coming back. What fun I had going through their product list and doing a bit of retail therapy, for you all of course, and ok for myself as well. I hope you like the toppers I chose for our first lot of stock, if you have any favourites let me know and I'll see if we can get them for you.

There are lots of plans for this year to add some projects both card making and jewellery making to this blog and so far I have the menu done...well at least that's a start. I am always impressed by the fantastic blogs that seem to have no end of inspiration on a regular basis and I promise I will try to make this one a great place to visit. We've done a lot of work on the website improving and upgrading, now we need to focus our attention on the blog. I will admit to spending far more time on Facebook than I should but it is great to chat to all the lovely crafters and share ideas and tips, the problem is when I start chatting I find it hard to stop. If you fancy a chat it's the best place to find me so why not stop by our page and say hi.

 

Until next time...and I promise it won't be so long...happy crafting!
