Closing Shop... and other *news*

 FRIDAY 19th August

Last posting day from any of the shops.... please get any orders you *need* in, to me, before Friday

I shall be taking a break until Sunday 28th August...

(a well needed break)

 Then it will be all systems go for the Christmas Stock!!  

and getting any supplies ready you might want for the Christmas Crafting mayhem.

I have a few FAIRS that i shall be attending and hope to let you know when and where

 >>>>> see sidebar information

(i LOVE a good Craft Fair *excited dance*)

 I will also be having a mega

CLEARANCE SALE

in this shop: http://paperfish.etsy.com/

so an ideal time to get some early Christmas Gifts at a fraction of what they are worth.

I am, as yet, undecided on what will happen to this shop...

I have ideas in abundance, but nothing set in stone

i am open to your ideas / what you like best from there / what it could become more of:

Badges? Brooches? Bunting?

A new style of Supplies shop?

NeedleBooks? PinPots?.....

 A few new Button Bags available in the BigFish.etsy shop

Pretty colour combinations to inspire you.

And i hope to get http://www.lovepaperfish.com/ fully up to date, on my return to work.

In the meanwhile, i have an Older Blog Post re-published here:

http://localcraftmatters.wordpress.com/

LCM is a *must read* if you are local to Northampton / MK / Bletchley area

Lots of info on craft clubs and artists and local vintage...

My piece talks about my way into Button selling... things have moved on even MORE since i wrote that piece and it is exciting to look back - and look forward!

Calling you Crafters...it's Show & Tell time.

 Quite frankly, look at me.

I am far too busy sitting around in my pyjamas and drinking tea, to be making stuff with my own amazing supplies. It is very hard work being this Ditsy you understand.

 So i call upon you - those readers who are also my beloved shop customers.

I need you to send me stuff.

Don't panic. I am not on the scrounge for freebies myself. I just request one or two photographs from you.

I would like to share what you have been making...

Using PaperFish supplies...

either for you and yours...

or if you make to sell...

Just send me a photo or 2 with a link of where to buy - if you are selling them

I shall endeavour to blog as many as i can.

BUT: if you don't get a blog mention please don't get upset, it may be that i get inundated with photos! and how would i cope with that? Or it might be that i got very busy with life all of a sudden. Please don't take it personally.

If you want to send me a photo + link, please do, and i will try to get it to blog.

I love to see what you're making and i know others will too.

email me at PaperFishltd@googlemail.com

Enjoy the Sunshine x
