I have a love/hate relationship with craft fairs. I love going to them as a seller but hate them if I don’t sell anything. This year I organised an Autumn Gift Fair in November at my Village Hall, so I decided I would have a stall with a few friends, none of us having enough stock for having one each. But what to sell?
The answer was Gnomes! Gnomes are my new passion, I love making them. And I wouldn’t need many to fill my small space. I started making them at the start of September, but they soon started to take over the house.
I made big ones as doorstops, small ones for the Christmas tree and a variety of themed ones middling sized. Most of them were on a Christmas theme and they sold like hot cakes! Best result I’ve ever had for a craft fair.
And now Christmas is coming around, and all my remaining gnomes are off to new homes as presents.
Could you give a Gnome a Home?
