February Fair

It was a busy day with lots of new artists and makers, and the cafe was the busiest it’s ever been, and Nigel sold out of everything, right down to the last oat cookie. I love that our friends can come and hang out there and know that we love to have them there. I love Rye!
The weather was rainy and windy, yet still there were people coming in and out and buying. People seem so happy just to have the social contact and see the beautiful things other creative people are making. When spring comes, Rye will be buzzing with visitors and tourists. I am going to be opening up another room at the community centre, hopefully by next month, and it is currently being redecorated. So some of our crafters will be able to be in that room if they choose.
I have painted a large mural on MDF for the cafe area, which will be in place next month too. The next craft fair will be March 10th. Please see below for all the dates and info about the craft fair.

Please note that there are still some available stalls  for artists and makers on Sunday March 18th at our Rye Mind Body Spirit Fayre.  www.mindbodyspiritrye.wordpress.com

Rye Observer clip

November 5th 2011

A very busy day with lots of punters and some new artists and makers. The cafe did a roaring trade and it was lovely to see the lovely Rye regulars. The stage was used as part of the fair and it added a whole new dimension. Looking forward to next month, with home-made mince pies and festive atmosphere,  and there will probably be some new stalls in the cafe too.  Please see section below for all information for artists and makers.  The next two Christmas Craft fairs are December 3rd and December 10th,  11 am til 5 pm.
I took some photos today, but it was only on my Blackberry, which accounts for the dodgy quality. December is now all booked up but if you would like a stall in December please call or email, (alicemason367@hotmail.com) as I can make a reserve list, in case anyone drops out.   I have all the dates for next year now, so let me know which dates you would like to book for: alicemason367@hotmail.com. Or call me on 07910 718962, or 01424 812550..
