It seems ages since our last Mini fair, in fact it was the week before Candyfloss, doesn’t time fly? Well, we’re back again with 9 stalls of craft goodies, ranging from jewellery to textiles, photography and art, every Mini is a different mix of quality handmade items.
1-5pm tomorrow at Bungalows and Bears on Division Street, Sheffield. Free entry for all!
The fabulous Kate Sutton has worked her magic again to provide us with yet another fantastic flyer – this time for our upcoming 2nd annual Candyfloss Craft Fair. The flyer and buttons will shortly be available to download on our fairs site if you’d like to publicise the fair on your website or blog.
You can see more of the flyers Kate has designed for us here in our Flickr album and you can apply for our fair here on our Craft Candy Fairs site. Get your application in quick though because the closing date isn’t far away now – you have until the 31st May to apply.
Hurrah – applications for 2nd annual Candyfloss Craft Fair are open and the applications have already started flooding in from you talented folk!

Ey up. Have you missed me. Well if you’re wondering what’s been keeping me from my weekly MUSEROUND curatorship, you won’t have to wonder much longer. I’ve been using every bit of my evenings and weekends to re-stock for Craft Candy‘s second annual Spring Fling event. And boy what an event it was. All the hard work organising, promoting and hand selecting the very cream of the UK craft scent wholly paid off. Up to the minute, leading edge design was the theme of the day. Check out some of our members – our gorgeous welcome desk ladies Kati (organiser), Sophy and Leah on a 10 second break from the onslaught of record raffle ticket sales.
Green eyed congratulations to our Raffle winners:
1st Prize - Kirsten from Leeds
2nd Prize - Karen from Sheffield
3rd Prize - Laura from Sheffield
It was fantastic! What a location though, The Millennium Galleries; bang in the centre of Sheffield and a thoroughfare for wonderful customers looking for handmade treasures. Over 1200 treasure-seekers entered the Long Gallery with many more passing through our stalls in the Avenue. Our fairs just go from strength to strength, I’m so proud. Here’s to our next fair at the Millennium in July! See our Craft Candy fair guru Sarah Waterhouse on her textiles stall.

You can get on Craft Candy’s mailing lists to keep up to date for stall bookings, our workshops, or for our latest news and events. Just to reiterate how thrilled I was with our friendly customers, stallholder camaraderie, and uber efficient event organisers. Top notch girls!
We’re now on the official countdown to 2nd annual Spring Fling Craft Fair and we have our lovely new flyer!
The brilliant Kate Sutton has designed this for us…
Now I’m really looking forward to blue skies and Spring!
Come along to the Millennium Gallery on 27th March for lots of gorgeous stalls of beautiful contemporary craft!

Due to an unfortunate power cut last weekend at Bungalows and Bears our Mini fair had to be cancelled, boo hoo! The great news is that we’ve rescheduled it for this weekend so this is your last chance to get your hands on some wonderful craft goodies!
The time of the fair has changed a little because of a music event that evening at the venue so it’s now 1-5pm!!
See you there! xx

Craft Candy have been busy meeting the peeps of Sheffield this weekend and doing our bit for the Sheffield craft scene – it was the Wool & Textiles Craft Fair at St Mary’s Church in Walkley. If you came down to say hello then thank you -we hope you enjoyed yourselves!
The fair was organised by Jill of The Wool Baa who was wearing a bright t-shirt all weekend which had Flock Leader on the back – I wish I’d got a picture of it!
Here was the pretty Craft Candy table in action:
And pretty Leah looking lovely (and me pulling a funny face as usual)
We had a display of the workshop examples from all the workshops we’ve done over the last few months as well as our mailing list and leaflets to advertise the workshops. Then we had my textiles, Leah’s crochet jewellery, Vyctoria’s cards, yarns and stitch markers and Louise’s prints and cards. Everything looked gorgeous and we had lots of compliments on everyone’s work.
I think Jill should definitely make this a regular event because it was great. I was on the stall most of the time but did get a little chance to have a nosey at some of the other stalls like Patchwork Garden, Wingham Wool Work and some of the other groups who were there like the Lace Makers Guild and Knitting and Crochet Guild. Jill of course had her stall full of goodies like yarns and books – there was just so much to look at and not enough time really!
So a big thank you to Jill and also a big thank you to St Mary’s and their vicar and all of the lovely volunteers there who kept us topped up with drinks, sarnies and biscuits!

That’s it folks – the closing date has gone and the applications are all in. We’ve sent out all the results and we’re really sorry if you didn’t get a stall this time. We were overwhelmed with how many applications we’ve had – we’re happy that so many of you want to be at our fairs but just sorry that we have to dissapoint you.
Stall holders will start to appear on our Fairs site over the next few weeks so watch out for that!
See you all in November!
xx
