Christmas Craft & Gift Fair

Good evening, bad blogger here! Yes I know it's been ages. So much for the New Year's resolution back in January to blog more often, oh well, looks like I'll be making the same resolution again this year. Anyway the reason I decided to finally write another post was to tell you about our fast approaching Christmas Craft & Gift Fair.





This annual event is now in it's 3rd year and offers the perfect place for some retail therapy whether you have presents to buy or simply love beautiful things. It is being held on Sunday 7th December in the beautiful Slieve Russell Hotel, Ballyconnell, Co, Cavan. This year we will be in a different room and you can find us at the Cranaghan suite at the rear of the hotel near the spa between 12.00pm and 5.00pm.

With 65 stands we will have a whole host of handmade crafts, food items, craft supplies and giftware including handmade greeting cards, handmade beaded & gemstone jewellery as well as fashion jewellery, glassware & ceramics, art using various mediums, knitted & crocheted items, skincare & cosmetics, candles & soaps, jams & chutneys, bags, fabric crafts, fairy doors, confectionery, baked goods in the form of cakes, mince pies, Christmas puddings & gingerbread houses, wood crafts such as plaques, bowls and toys, millinery, gift baskets, vintage collectibles, paper craft & jewellery making supplies, craft kits and much, much more.

There will also be a raffle, face painting and live music from the fabulous In Harmony. There is no admission charge at the door so be sure to pay us a visit.
