Another day, hopefully another dollar...

Well, after all the rush to get ready for the vintage fair at the last minute I probably needn't have bothered. Sales were very slow - and I mean slow. I'm sure I spotted some tumbleweed at one point...Never mind, there's always next time.

Saturday 20th August I'll be setting up my first stall at Gibside Food and Craft Market which hopefully will prove to be more of a success as it's well established in the area. Gibside is a gorgeous National Trust estate near Rowlands Gill so you get to have the pleasure of a walk in the grounds as well as a bit of shopping so you can't go wrong.

I'm trying my hand at making greetings cards. I thought I'd be all clever and use a glue gun. Never again. Bring back PVA in a squeezy bottle - much less faff and clagg.

Hello and welcome to Personal Space Interiors. I'm Gillian, the owner and maker of all things sold on my site and other platforms like MISI, Etsy and Folksy. Check out my website www.personal-space-interiors.co.uk for details of my products.

I'll be selling at Gibside Food and Craft Market on Saturday 20th August so if you are local to the North East and fancy a day out, why not pop along? The market has a really friendly atmosphere with loads of lovely local produce and gifts for sale, there's a nice little coffee shop and of course you'll be in the gorgeous grounds of Gibside National Trust site so if the weather is kind to us all you can go for a relaxing walk and soak up the scenery.

I've just found out there will be a vintage clothing and gifts fair at the Royal Station Hotel in Newcastle this Sunday. I wish I'd known before - I've emailed the organiser to see of there's any room still available but I think I might have left it a bit late!
