Well, that is a wrap for lace fairs and days for 2025 – a what a fabulous fair we had to end on. I am so pleased that I managed to be there with the help on the day from the fabulous friends Claire Bonto Bonitocrafts, Sally Smiddy Lace & Sparkle Bobbin Lace and Pauline James plus so much encouragement and support from my dear family and friends. It has been an unbelievably tough and emotional end to the year but I am so pleased that I made it to the Mainly Lace Christmas Fair in Birmingham yesterday.
What a day it was! A huge thank you to everyone who visited the fair. I apologise now if I missed saying hello to anyone visiting our stand. It was certainly non-stop and such an unbelievably wonderful day full of laughter. A huge well done to Mark and Barbara from Mainly Lace Events for organising such a fabulous fair.
And wow, what love we received from all our fellow suppliers and from so many customers. This afternoon we opened the cards that Martin had been given and we were both so overwhelmed. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And the icing on the cake – we won the "best Christmas themed stall" Festive bunting and lace stars loving made by Mrs Roseground the 1st (aka mum), sparkly lights, Elves on the Shelf up to mischief and to complete the festive picture, the Roseground team were dressed in festive jumpers and sparkling Rudolph antlers!! If we could have had Christmas songs blaring out I think we would have done!! Thank you to all who voted! Plans in place for next year's theme already!
Now, I realised too late that none of us had actually taken any photos of the finished stall – oops! We were super busy before we knew it and then …….well, photos didn’t happen. Thanks Dee for managing to lift some from your video!
See you all in 2026! Back to catching up with mail orders now - online and telephone orders continue 😀🥰
