What a great weekend we had at the Stonham Barns Easter Craft Market last weekend. Many talented crafters came to show off and sell their wares. Most were in the marquee, but some had outside pitches under gazebos with the overflow being situated in The Barn. As well as traditional crafts, there was home-made fudge, chocolate-covered almonds in various flavours, chilli oil & sauces, and dog treats. One trader had beautiful handmade kimonos, perfect for holidays abroad in sun-drenched locations, the summer, or special occasions. Another two ladies were local authors selling their books!
Maria was selling up a storm in the marquee, and Carlie was in The Barn demonstrating card making and running a free activity for anyone who wanted to have a go. Our shop on site was covered on the Saturday by a good friend of ours, Annie Colvill, and our thanks go to her for a job well done!
Carlie was joined in The Barn by Corinne Bradd, YouTuber and crafter extraordinaire, who made free items on her sewing machine, like zipped pouches of various sizes, for anyone that wanted them, and Laura from Eastern Pottery Supplies who took time away from her shop on site to demonstrate on the pottery wheel and encourage others to have a go.
Carlie had quite a few people trying their hand at making cards, from a 4-year-old through to grandparents, and all said how much they enjoyed it. Most people kindly agreed to have their photos taken and shared on here – you can see by their smiles below how much fun they had!
What’s coming next…
