✨️ My friends and family (the volunteers) ✨️

The fair wouldn't have happened without them. Literally. I was at a point before announcing it where I was thinking about not doing it because it was going to be a lot of work! If it wasn't for Huw encouraging me, it might not have happened 😅

Huw, the actual star of the show! 🤩🌟 keeping everyone going! Making sure everyone was happy, everything was running smoothly! I think he's found his calling 😅❤️

Lucy, who saw the shock on my face when all the crowds came in at 11am 😅🤣 she became my side kick bag lady 💙 and her husband Matty got stuck in helping to set my display up 🎉

Amy working hard to make crochet bags and accessories and having her first real step into the small business world 🥰

My Dad who's always there for the heavy lifting 💪
My Mum and Anne - the magazine ladies 🙌

Huw's parents - Keith on the tombola and Liz checking you all in on the door, and his work friend Sam who was on the door too, all amazing 🥳

And all of my friends and family sending support from afar 🫶

✨️ The Community Project ✨️

I asked you to make a 10cm x 10cm square of what Scarborough means to you, using any textile craft, and here they all are together! 🤩👏

Thank you to everyone that got involved! I've loved hearing about your memories of Scarborough and what your squares represent!

The squares are now at the shop, you're welcome to come and pick them up and any left I will be using to display in the shop 💙

✨️ The stallholders ✨️

I absolutely couldn't have asked for a better bunch! When I booked the Fair in with the Spa, I had absolutely no idea who would apply. I had a few ideas who would be able to make it from the shop, and our 4 main craft groups at the shop are knitting, crochet, hand embroidery and cross stitch, so anything more than that was a bonus!

The feedback I've had so far is all about the great variety of stalls, and how friendly and chatty everyone was! I loved seeing people connecting and making friends! 💙

Thank you to them for believing in me, some of them I'd never met before, the fair was brand new, no one knew how it would go. But they all turned up with their fantastic work and helped make the fair what it was! 🥳

Well where do I even start? It feels like it was all a dream! 😅 Sunday was absolutely amazing! You were queued up from 10:20am! The stallholders we're amazing! The feedback has been amazing! (I haven't worked up the courage to read the feedback forms yet, but all the comments and messages on here have been absolutely lovely 🥹) It made me so happy to see people enjoying the workshops!
The day literally couldn't have gone any better! I didn't sleep the night before, I am absolutely shattered! The shop is just about all put back together now!

Thank you so much, it wouldn't have happened without you - the visitors, the stallholders, the volunteers, Clive my favourite photographer, the staff at the Spa, the support, I couldn't have done it on my own 💙

It's only just starting to sink in what a day it was!
