Crafty Market in Tilburg

The Crafty Markt in Tilburg is a craft fair that runs for a whole weekend in October. Every stall is packed with handmade goods made by the sellers themselves. I took the plunge in having my first ever craft fair stall here! I spent a lot of time preparing for this weekend, I had no idea how much organization goes into a craft fair stall, but I think I covered everything. The market was located in two places around the textile museum in Tilburg. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side, the Saturday was very cold and the Sunday was wet and windy. I made enough sales to cover my expenses but I do wonder what sales would have been like with better weather. Here are some photos I took just as the market opened on the Saturday.


This is my stall, it was 4 meters wide and I was worried I wouldn't have enough stock to fill it all up. Luckily I managed to spread it out well enough. I think it looks pretty good for a first attempt.


The little stairs my mice are standing on I made myself from wood and then covered them with fabric.

The fair was fun to do, I got to meet some of my fellow Etsy sellers there bndesign.etsy.com and Mirthquake.etsy.com had stalls next to mine. Loads of people walking by picked up my business cards so I hope I will have more sales in Holland now too.
