Halloween goodies

The charity craft fair that I'm doing in October is increasingly on my mind and I've been trying to get down to producing some stock for my stall. I flip between worrying about not having enough wares to sell and thinking that no-one will buy any of my stuff - neither prospect is particularly appealing.

But at least I can control the 'stock' question, so today I thought I'd hit the Halloween market. It is slowly but steadily catching on as a celebration in the UK and in the village where we live you can bet on a steady parade of small trick-or-treaters. The merchandising seems to be lagging behind though, so hopefully some of my bits will fill a niche.

Today was batty peg kits that people can buy to do as a kid friendly craft project at home.

And a little trick-or-treating bag with obligatory ghost.

Mark really likes this and I have promised he can have it if nobody buys it. This may have been a tactical error, as I can just picture him standing behind the table giving death stares to any prospective purchasers. In general though he's very keen on the whole craft fair idea and keeps producing drawings which he tells me I can sell - it's nice to have the support of your family!
