Isobel Barber - Dorset Etsy Team Fair - Wimborne 6th December - Dorset Fairs - Christmas Fair

Hey everyone!

Another wonderful stallholder from the Dorset Team Christmas Fair to share with you all.... this time I wanted to show you all the work of Isobel Barber. Isobel is from Bournemouth and is an artist and illustrator. She makes her prints using recycled paper. She says of her work ' I am inspired by colourful snippets of day to day life and create bright and playful illustrations made to make you smile or capture a moment of nostalgia.' She has recently been featured in the local newspaper, the Blackmore Vale presenting her limited edition print to Wimborne town crier Chris Brown. You can find the article HERE

Isobel will be selling her work at our Dorset Team fair, we would love for you to come along, meet our sellers and browse their beautiful works. There is plenty to see and it is going to be a fantastic Christmas shopping day out (I have already started to write my Christmas wish list of my family and friends for the fair!). There is a huge range of different craft and vintage stalls. Crafts include paper cuts, jewellery, ironwork, illustration, painting, fabric items etc.

Please come along and meet us all and see what the Dorset Etsy Team is about. Details for the fair are....

Dorset Team Christmas Craft Fair - Wimborne Minster - 6th December 2014

Hey everyone,

Some super exciting news, we are putting on another Dorset Team fair and I will be organising as well as selling at the event. The fair will be the largest fair we have put on as a team and we are lucky enough to be receiving support from Etsy with the fair which is HUGE for us especially as only 17 teams in Europe have been given this extra support!

There is going to be around 80 stalls selling locally made product as well as some vintage stalls and some stalls selling food and craft supplies. It is going to be a really lovely Christmas shopping day out.

Please, if you are local, come along to the fair and say hello! So far have booked some amazing stalls (you can see some examples in the photo collage above).  We have a real variety of stalls selling different items so will make great gifts for all.

I will be posting some more posts about the fair soon but, for now, please see our event page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/events/1433547900231175/ and our EventBrite page http://www.eventbrite.com/e/dorset-team-christmas-fair-tickets-12869329511

If you are interested in a stall please message me via my shop on Etsy (The Dorothy Days), tweet me or leave me a comment here with your email address (all comments hidden so this will not be published to my blog)

Hope to see some of you there!

Dorset craft fair - Hoburne Park- Christchurch

Hello everyone,

I am getting really really excited for the Dorset craft fair in Christchurch on the 7th July (please click the link for more info).  I have been preparing some of my stock and making some new items for the craft fair too. So so excited as it will be one of my first craft fairs this summer. There are going to be lots of amazing stalls with local artists selling handmade and vintage items. I thought I would give you all a little 'sneak preview' of what to expect at the craft fair by showing you all some items from some of the shops which are coming to the fair.

Lynn from Nemeton is having a stall selling her beautiful award winning jewellery such as these earrings.

Kelly from Bournemouth shall be selling some of her gorgeous hand knitted animals

Artist and jewellery maker Sarah arranged the craft fair, above is one of her beautiful paintings Her shop is called Deliciousbits

How amazing are Bella's cloth dolls?! Such intricate work, I can't wait to see this stall.

Dave who runs OneLonelyDuck will also be there with his wonderful illustrations

Hope this has given you all a little taster of what to expect at the craft fair. There are going to be 30 tables so a huge variety of vintage items, craft and art.

Hope to see some of you there, will be a great day out and a wonderful way to support local artists and crafters.
