Hi all, my first of the season and it went pretty well, it's just a shame most of my sales were bullet pens....I took a few comissions too!IMG_20191201_101954.jpgIMG_20191201_102002.jpg

Well done Mark, I’ve got my one and only Christmas fayre next weekend. Been working feverishly and now have 110 pens in various styles, hoping to make enough to keep the hobby going.:thumbs:

Hi all, bit late to the post. Well done on the fayre. You must have been exhausted after the day plus organising the event as well! My only Christmas fayre a couple of weeks ago was a qualified success. Fewer sales than last year, but a better mix of pens and bowls, with more of the expensive stuff going rather than lots of inexpensive bits. Quite exhausted afterwards though.

Hi Mark,

Great shot of the bullet pens, bang on.

Lovely presentation:drool: less is more........but more it shows someone like me the way forward

My aim is to get to your standard and hit the bullseye.

Hello Mark

I know what you mean reference the keyholder business , I used to look after the local hall. Always first in and always last out,
Like the set up; the mirror is a good idea and enhances the over all appearance. Pleased you did well, well done.

Cheers
Frederick
